$BCH Explained: The Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash
Let's break down a simple concept:
Sector: Peer-to-Peer Payments / Digital Cash.
What it does:
Bitcoin Cash is a cryptocurrency created from a 2017 hard fork of Bitcoin.Its primary goal is to function as digital cash for everyday transactions. It achieves this through larger block sizes (32MB vs. Bitcoin's 1MB), which allows it to process more transactions per second at lower fees. It shares Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work security model and fixed 21 million coin supply.
Why it matters (Current Context):
BCH is designed as a"medium of exchange" rather than just a "store of value". It's currently experiencing notable market activity and attention. The network has launched innovations like "Cashinals," bringing NFT-like inscriptions to its blockchain to increase utility and demand.
A key talking point is its performance. BCH is up roughly 40% year-to-date in 2025, making it a top performer among major Layer-1 blockchains. Analysts point to its unique supply structure as a potential factor: the entire supply of 21 million BCH is already in circulation, with no scheduled token unlocks or foundation treasury sales, reducing constant sell-side pressure.
On-Chain Data: A 96% collapse in daily coin movement suggests holders are not rushing to sell, indicating strong holding conviction that could support price stability.
