Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a cryptocurrency created in August 2017 from a hard fork of the Bitcoin blockchain. It was developed to address scalability issues by implementing a larger block size, which allows for a greater volume of transactions to be processed within a single block compared to Bitcoin. A primary distinction of this fork was the intention to establish an independent network with a separate roadmap and community, rather than functioning as an upgrade or enhancement to the original Bitcoin protocol. As of January 2026, Bitcoin Cash remains one of the most established forks of the original Bitcoin network, continuing to focus on providing a decentralized peer-to-peer electronic cash system with low transaction fees.

As with all assets, investing in Bitcoin Cash is not without some general risks. Many of these risks are identified and explained in our Risk Statement. In addition to the general risks, we outline some risks that are specific to Bitcoin Cash below. While we make an effort to identify every source of risk, we encourage you to do your own research and ensure you are comfortable investing in Bitcoin Cash.

Bitcoin Cash follows a programmed halving schedule that reduces the block reward by 50% approximately every four years, or every 210,000 blocks. The most recent halving occurred in April 2024, which reduced the mining reward from 6.25 BCH to 3.125 BCH per block. While previous halvings led to concerns regarding miner migration, the network has maintained a stable hashrate, which stood at approximately 4.80 exhashes per second (EH/s) as of late 2025. However, because BCH shares the same SHA-256 mining algorithm as Bitcoin (BTC), its security remains influenced by the relative profitability of the two chains. If the price of BCH fails to keep pace with operational costs following future halvings—the next of which is expected in 2028—miners may divert computational power to more profitable chains, potentially increasing the network's vulnerability to 51% attacks or other security threats.
