About BCH

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a decentralized cryptocurrency that emerged as a hard fork of Bitcoin in 2017, aiming to provide faster and cheaper transactions with a larger block size. Designed to be 'peer-to-peer electronic cash,' Bitcoin Cash allows users to send and receive payments with minimal fees, making it suitable for daily transactions and cross-border transfers. Bitcoin Cash preserves many features of Bitcoin but differs by prioritizing transaction speed and scalability, with an 8MB block size initially (and increased over time), which allows for more transactions per block. BCH is supported across many exchanges and wallets, making it accessible for trading, payments, and as a hedge against inflation. You can monitor live BCH prices, historical data, and market insights on our Bitcoin Cash Markets page to stay updated on this popular Bitcoin alternative in the crypto landscape.
