Response explained

The response is a JSON file (array of objects) that represents the list of available currencies.

Crypto currencies

The following table explains the fields present in the response with crypto currencies.

Note that the currencyCode, cryptoChain, and name fields are always included in the response payload. Other fields may be omitted if unavailable or not supported by third-party platforms.

Field	Type	Description
`currencyCode`	String	Common ticker symbol (for example, `BTC`, `ETH`, `USDT`). This is not guaranteed to be standardized and may vary across external providers. The combination of `currencyCode` and `cryptoChain` uniquely identifies a currency in the Sumsub system.
`cryptoChain`	String	Blockchain symbol (for example, `ETH`, `BTC`, `BNB`, `TON`). For native crypto coins (for example, `BTC`, `ETH`), this field is present and set to an empty string `""`. ⚠️ Use a symbol, not the full blockchain name (for example, `ETH`, and not `Ethereum`).
`contractAddress`	String	The smart-contract address of the token on its blockchain (for example, for `ERC-20`, `TRC-20`). Returned only for contract-based assets. Empty for native coins (for example, `BTC`, `ETH`).
`name`	String	Full name of the currency, if available (for example, `Ethereum`, `Tether USD`).
`coinmarketcapId`	String	CoinMarketCap asset identifier, also known as Unified Cryptoasset ID (UCID). This identifier is the same across different blockchains for the same token, e.g., `USDT` on Ethereum, Tron, and Solana will all have the same UCID. This ensures consistent identification regardless of the blockchain.
`coingeckoId`	String	Identifier of the currency from CoinGecko (if available).

Fiat currencies

The response with fiat currencies only includes currency codes.

Field	Type	Description
`currencyCode`	String	ISO 4217 currency code (for example, `USD`, `EUR`, `JPY`).
