Problem Statement Yahoo Finance doesn't have all the cryptocurrencies, e.g. TONCOIN, or PLANETS.

Proposed Solution Use another source for crypto that is not found in Yahoo, e.g. cryptocompare, for PLANETS-USD: https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/price?fsym=PLANETS&tsyms=USD

Alternatives Sit and wait for Yahoo adds less popular cryptocurrencies?

Thanks for the suggestion! This makes sense to me to add and there's already some foundational code in place to support multiple data sources.
