For instance Bitcoin is called as btc, Litecoin as ltc, they are cryptocoins. Crypty, Kraken are exchanges, so do they have any code to refer them ?

<p>I wonder if there are any abbreviations/acronyms/codes for exchanges like Cryptsy, Kraken, and Ccex. Similar to abbreviations as seen for coins in <code>Bitcoin = BTC</code> and <code>Litecoin = LTC</code>.</p>
