BCH/USD Historical Performance
Here are the most interesting spikes in Bitcoin Cash’s rate:
Bitcoin Cash was created on August 1, 2017, as a result of a hard fork from the original Bitcoin blockchain. Initially, it traded at a relatively low price, with its value hovering around $400.
After its creation, Bitcoin Cash experienced a surge in interest and price. The rate of 1 BCH to USD surged above 4,000 in late December 2017. This period was marked by high volatility and high liquidity as BCH gained popularity as an alternative to BTC, and the overall crypto market boomed.
Similar to the broader market, the cryptocurrency entered a prolonged bear trend in 2018. Throughout 2018, BCH declined significantly, and it traded near $100 at the beginning of 2019.
The period of 2019-2020 was quite stable, with the rate moving within a $160-$400 range. The pair experienced some price spikes during the year. Bitcoin Cash underwent several network upgrades in 2020 to improve scalability and functionality, and this increased investor and user interest in it.
In 2021, the market recovered, and in May, BCH reached $1,600. However, the trend soon turned around, and by the summer of 2022, the pair plunged to the lows of 2019.
Bitcoin Cash’s rate can hardly be called stable. However, with FXOpen, traders can drive price waves with spreads from 0.0 pips.
