Feat: add amount instead of value of cryptos account

[albertorizzi]

In crypto accounts, store the amount of cryptocurrency instead of its value. This way, the value can be retrieved daily via the API based on the current exchange rate.

Unfortunately we're not quite to a point where this will work. Our market data API Synth does not support all cryptocurrencies yet, so we'd be missing a good number of crypto moving to this strategy.

Our long term plan is to have a fully native crypto integration that pulls data directly from the relevant chains / layer 2 chains.

It's just a HUGE project that from a business perspective we cannot prioritize yet.

Thanks @zachgoll! I think it’s important to plan this feature, otherwise Maybe might end up becoming just another financial app.

Hi,
I agree, this feature would be very pertinent, since crypto getting a bigger place in our asset portfolio nowaday.
Since you do manage already BTC in term of convertible token, wouldn't be possible to add the most common ones (top 10-20 in term of market cap?) natively with SynthAPI? Then for the others, we can keep as is. It would be a very great temporary solution.
