One could fetch the exchange rates for multiple currencies directly but that is not the case in this implementation because the endpoint is restricted to enterprise users on the bitcon average platform. So, the current rates in comparison to 1 dollar is first gotten, the rates for a single conversion of BTC to USD is also gotten, this is then used to calculate the conversions for other currencies.
