About Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) was created on August 1, 2017 as a hard fork of Bitcoin, splitting the chain over a long-running scaling debate about block size limits. BCH supporters favored larger blocks (initially 8 MB, later 32 MB) to increase on-chain transaction throughput, while Bitcoin maintained 1-4 MB blocks (post-SegWit) and pursued off-chain scaling via the Lightning Network. BCH is championed by Roger Ver and the Bitcoin Cash development teams. The token has a maximum supply of 21 million matching Bitcoin's, with a halving schedule synchronized to BTC.
Bitcoin Cash Technology
Bitcoin Cash uses SHA-256 Proof-of-Work identical to Bitcoin and shares much of its codebase. Block times average 10 minutes. The 32 MB block size enables theoretically up to ~100 transactions per second on-chain. BCH activated several upgrades not present on Bitcoin including Schnorr signatures, OP_CHECKDATASIG (used for oracle integration), CashTokens (a UTXO-native token standard), and CashFusion (a CoinJoin-based privacy enhancement).
What Moves the BCH Price
BCH trades with high correlation to BTC but generally underperforms in long bull cycles, having lost significant ground to Bitcoin since the 2017 fork. Daily spot volume across Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken typically ranges from $80-200 million. Key drivers include the BCH halving cycle (synchronized with BTC), payment-processor adoption (BitPay, Cash App support BCH), and CashTokens ecosystem development.

Why was Bitcoin Cash created?
BCH was created because part of the Bitcoin community wanted to scale transaction throughput by increasing the block size limit, while another part preferred to keep blocks small and scale through Layer 2 solutions like Lightning Network. The disagreement led to a hard fork on August 1, 2017.
Are BTC and BCH compatible?
No — BTC and BCH share history before August 2017 but are now separate blockchains with incompatible consensus rules. Sending BTC to a BCH address (or vice versa) typically results in lost funds unless the wallet specifically supports cross-chain replay protection.
What are CashTokens?
CashTokens are a token standard activated on Bitcoin Cash in May 2023 that allows fungible and non-fungible tokens to be issued and transferred natively at the UTXO level, without requiring smart contracts. This enables NFT-like functionality and stablecoin issuance directly on BCH.
