Why Bitcoin Cash Saw A Flash Increase
Since the first of November, Bitcoin Cash has seen a 45% rally as Binance and Coinbase, two leading digital currency exchanges, announced their support to their upcoming Bitcoin Cash fork due on the 15th November. On its website, Coinbase announced that ‘in the unlikely event that several viable chains continue following the fork, Coinbase will make sure that customers will have access to their funds on each chain. As a hard fork occurs, holders of the forked digital currency are eligible to get both coins. But if the crypto holdings are deposited on an exchange then the exchange will have to adopt both protocols to let users migrate both coins. For those of you that don’t know: “A hard fork is a technology update. It doesn’t necessarily mean that a new coin will be created. But because the upgrade is irreversible, the majority of miners should agree to migrate to the new protocol for the chain to remain intact. If however, this is not the case, then the hard fork could result in two separate coins.”
