 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+
+- Expose missing public `CurrencyRateController` methods through its messenger ([#8561](https://github.com/MetaMask/core/pull/8561))
+  - The following actions are now available:
+    - `CurrencyRateController:setCurrentCurrency`
+    - `CurrencyRateController:updateExchangeRate`
+  - Corresponding action types (e.g. `CurrencyRateControllerSetCurrentCurrencyAction`) are available as well.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **BREAKING:** Standardize names of `CurrencyRateController` messenger action types ([#8561](https://github.com/MetaMask/core/pull/8561))
+  - The `GetCurrencyRateState` messenger action has been renamed to `CurrencyRateControllerGetStateAction` to follow the convention. You will need to update imports appropriately.
+  - These changes only affect the types. The action type strings themselves have not changed, so you do not need to update the list of actions you pass when initializing `CurrencyRateController` messenger.
+
