Here is a related Raku package: "Data::Cryptocurrencies".

Compare the (Raku specified) D3.js plot:

enter image description here

with the corresponding WL version:

ts = ResourceFunction[
CloudObject[
  "https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/antononcube/DeployedResources/Function/CryptocurrencyData"]]["BTC", Automatic, {{2020, 1, 1}, Today}];

DateListPlot[ts, PlotRange -> All, PlotLabel -> "BTC", 
 PlotTheme -> "Detailed", ImageSize -> 1000, AspectRatio -> 3/8]

enter image description here

Remark: At some point, I hope, I will make a comparison study between WL and D3.js over data science related plotting tasks.

I see most currencies are going towards relatively big dip (if they are not there already!).
Thank you Anton. Very useful post and resource function.

I implemented a resource function that can be used to obtain cryptocurrency data using the approach explained in this post. See `CryptocurrencyData":

Great work! Would love to see this function in the Wolfram Function Repository.

Thanks! I want to "put more mileage" into using that function, before submitting it to WFR. (There is a fair amount of signature cases that have to be considered and programmed in order to get a look and feel very similar to FinancialData.)
