Touchstone.

A ticker is not an asset

Ask a market data API for BTC and you get 13 assets claiming that ticker. PEPE returns 32. Ask for SOL, take the first result, and you get Solcoin instead of Solana.

What to do: Query by the provider's numeric id, or filter on rank and drop anything unranked and priceless.

20 tickers returned 115 assets, 56 of them unranked. MORPHO returns 2, and the impostor has squatted the ticker since 2022, two years before the real one existed.
