`GET https://bridge.bifrostcrypto.com/v1/get-currencies`

Required scope: `prices:read` (a new key with no list is read-only)

Lists all available currencies (crypto and fiat) for price queries.

Active fiats come first, then each active crypto symbol once (even when the token runs on several networks), sorted by symbol. For cryptos, name repeats the symbol. An unexpected failure answers 500 internal_error.
