A “ticker” is an abbreviation used to uniquely identify a particular coin or token on a trading platform. It is typically a combination of letters representing the cryptocurrency. For instance, Bitcoin is commonly identified by the ticker “BTC”, Ethereum by “ETH”, and Ripple by “XRP”.
These tickers help traders and investors quickly identify and search for different cryptocurrencies on exchanges, news sites, and other platforms. However, it’s worth noting that the same ticker may represent different cryptocurrencies on different platforms, so it’s essential to verify the full name of the cryptocurrency associated with a particular ticker symbol.
