Bitcoin cash (BCH) has gained 11% over the last 24-hours even as bitcoin has declined.
Bitcoin’s price drop follows network congestion that sent transaction fees over the weekend skyward as demand for bitcoin Ordinals ramped up.

BCH, which is a spinoff of the Bitcoin blockchain, designed to be more scalable and cheaper, seems to have benefited from bitcoin’s backlog of transactions, some market observers are saying.
BCH, which was recently trading over $122, was one of the only digital assets trading in the green on Tuesday.
“Bitcoin cash is a fork of Bitcoin so the market is speculating that there will be some spillover as a result of high fees/congestion,” Arca trader Kyle Doane said in a note to CoinDesk. Doane noted that the uptick for bitcoin cash will most likely be short-lived.
The Bitcoin blockchain's flood of pending transactions over the weekend resulted in Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, temporarily pausing bitcoin withdrawals.
Yet Laurent Kssis, crypto advisor at CEC Capital, said that he doubts that the two are related. “I’m not confident BCH’s rise is a result of bitcoin’s network congestion as the move is not that detrimental to btc,”
Kssis added: “Sure BTC is dropping but this has been in the cards for a few days.
Bitcoin was recently trading at about $27,600, roughly flat from Monday, same time, and about where it stood at the beginning of the month. Last week, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization was trading near $30,000.
Kssis predicts bitcoin cash will drop again to around $110, as the current move up doesn’t appear to have staying power.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
Lo que debes saber:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

XRP drops 4% as traders watch whether $1.88 support holds
Price stabilizes near recent lows after a volatile pullback from above $2.
Что нужно знать:
- XRP slipped nearly 4% as bitcoin fell below $88,000, with price action driven more by market structure and positioning than by changes to Ripple’s fundamentals.
- Spot XRP ETFs saw about $40.6 million in weekly outflows, suggesting institutional profit-taking and rotation rather than a loss of confidence in the asset.
- XRP remains range-bound in a tight consolidation between support around $1.88 and resistance near $1.93–$1.95, with fading volume pointing to a larger move once the current stalemate resolves.
