Buy Bitcoin Cash (BCH): value and price trends

Discover what Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is, the payment-oriented Bitcoin hard fork, and how to buy the token on Young Platform.

What is Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

Bitcoin Cash was born in August 2017 from a hard fork of Bitcoin, i.e. a split of the original blockchain. The division was the result of a long debate within the Bitcoin community: some developers wanted to prioritise Bitcoin’s role as a store of value, while others pushed for its use as an everyday payment system. Bitcoin Cash stems from this second vision.

How it works: larger blocks for payments

The main technical difference from Bitcoin is the larger block size, which allows more transactions to be processed with very low fees, also suitable for micro-payments. Like Bitcoin, BCH has a maximum supply of 21 million units. Projects such as Simple Ledger Protocol (for token issuance) and SmartBCH (for smart contracts) have developed around the network. It remains among the most capitalised crypto-assets on the market several years after launch.

Price history

In 2025 Bitcoin Cash showed a variable trend, with a low around $271 in April and a high around $624 in mid-September. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

What it is and how it started

The hard fork behind BCH involved developers such as Craig Wright, supported by Roger Ver. It is the first hard fork of Bitcoin and the only one to have achieved significant success over time.
