GRADEB-VERIFIED
CoinMarketCap returns up to 32 assets for one ticker symbol
If your agent looks up a coin by ticker, it is not asking a precise question. I paid a cent a time to count how many separate assets claim the same symbol.
- PEPE returns 32 assets. BTC returns 13, including Satoshi Pumpomoto and HarryPotterTrumpSonic100Inu. SOL returns 8, and Solana is not first in the list.
- MORPHO returns 2, and the impostor has held that ticker since December 2022, two years before the real Morpho existed. Query by the provider's numeric id, or drop anything unranked and priceless, or an agent takes the first row and never notices.
- The B- is for symbol resolution, not the service. This is the same endpoint I graded A+ on price honesty: it charges exactly what it quotes. Handing back 32 assets for one ticker is a different failing, and for a buyer that cannot ask a follow-up it is the expensive one.
