Description
[CoinGecko API](https://www.coingecko.com/en/api) is a solid choice, and what we used for Balancer project. Open to other suggestions. From here we can get asset values in any fiat currency, as well as price action within a timeframe.
They also have a nice [Javascript wrapper lib](https://github.com/miscavage/CoinGecko-API) already
* Will we need to consider rate limits / API keys here?
* Free tier is 100 requests / minute.
#### What data do we need?
For each asset:
* Current price (in USD)
* 24 hour change
You can make one call `/coin/:id` but there is a ton of extraneous data
