The "type" doesn't matter. The way to test these things is gnc-fq-dump, and
here's what it says:
src/quotes/gnc-fq-dump -v yahoo btcusd=x
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: btcusd=x <=== required
date: 05/15/2017 <=== recommended
currency: ** missing ** <=== required
last: 1726.0900 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: 1726.0900 <=/
timezone: <=== optional
** This stock quote cannot be used by GnuCash!
Oddly, src/quotes/gnc-fq-dump yahoo btceur=x
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: btceur=x <=== required
date: 05/16/2017 <=== recommended
currency: EUR <=== required
last: 1593.9929 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: 1593.9929 <=/
timezone: <=== optiona
