EExcellent idea! IMHO  you should name the page "Crypto Curerencies" and
link it at least from https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Using_GnuCash.

However, it can be added as a custom security with [lengthier version of the instructions I gave above]. 

https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690479 describes some aspects
and links to others.
