BCH/USD is trading at $266.20 as markets opened this Thursday. Bitcoin Cash has had a host of good news recently, which encouraged the upward movement.
Firstly, Kraken delisted Bitcoin SV (BSV) following the #DelistBSV movement. As per Kraken:
“Bitcoin SV (BSV) trading is now disabled. Open orders will be canceled shortly. Please withdraw all BSV by May 31st, 2019. Bitcoin SV (BSV) deposits are now disabled. Deposits currently pending will be credited shortly. If you send funds in now, you may not be credited until after trading is disabled on April 29th. Please withdraw all BSV by May 31st, 2019.”
Along with that, Bitfinex also changed Bitcoin Cash’s ticker from BAB to BCH. This move was probably motivated by the exchange’s desire to not attract more criticism following the Tether debacle.
They also have a hardfork due on May 15th which will implement Schnorr Signatures.
