Poloniex Offers Pre-Fork Trading Ahead Of Bitcoin Cash Hard Fork

Poloniex Offers Pre-Fork Trading Ahead Of Bitcoin Cash Hard Fork


Starting today, Poloniex is offering customers the option to trade two tokens at the center of the debate about the pending Bitcoin Cash (BCH) hard fork: Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCHABC) and Bitcoin Cash SV (BCHSV).

We believe the responsible thing to do in this case is remain neutral and allow the community to decide which chain to support, and we want to empower the community to demonstrate their support through trading activity. This is the first time we are offering pre-fork trading and it is part of a broader effort to make Poloniex one of the most innovative exchanges in the world. Going forward, we will evaluate each hard fork individually and decide whether to support the fork or to offer pre-fork trading.

Pre-fork trading is available for the following pairs: BCHSV/USDC, BCHABC/USDC, BCHSV/BTC, and BCHABC/BTC. Customers can convert Bitcoin Cash into equivalent amounts of BCHABC and BCHSV and, also convert BCHABC and BCHSV back into BCH if they’d like to withdraw funds. Customers won’t be able to withdraw BCHABC and BCHSV ahead of the hard fork.

Importantly, customers don’t have to take any action ahead of the fork if they don’t want to participate in pre-fork trading. We will be supporting trading for both Bitcoin Cash ABC and Bitcoin Cash SV after the planned hard fork on November 15th.

For additional details, please see here. As always, we welcome feedback. Please reach out to us on Twitter or through our Support Center.
