Hi,

I am the maintainer of the cryptoQuotes-package (See repository). Is there any interest in incorporating cryptocurrency market data into tidyquant?

The package features multiple exchanges which is also accessible in the US. Below is a MWE for OHLC-V data,

library(cryptoQuotes)

# 1) extract daily
# Bitcoin price
BTC <- get_quote(
  ticker   = "BTCUSDT",
  source   = "bybit",
  futures  = FALSE,
  interval = "1d"
)

# 2) check class
class(BTC)
#> [1] "xts" "zoo"

# 3) print latest
# values
tail(BTC)
#>                         open     high      low    close    volume

#> 2024-05-16 02:00:00 66211.22 66769.85 64600.00 65242.59 15990.049
#> 2024-05-17 02:00:00 65242.59 65887.76 65102.17 65485.62  1823.698

Created on 2024-05-17 with reprex v2.1.0

The package follows the same structure as quantmod with some deviation in the naming convention and returned index.

Best,
