Bitcoin Cash Price Today: BCH in Focus as U.S. Futures Push Meets May Upgrade
Bitcoin Cash slipped in early Thursday action, pulling back after Wednesday’s gains as focus shifted to U.S. derivatives on the asset. Spot BCH changed hands at $455.82. Over at Coinbase, the BCH perpetual contract was quoted at $456.40, off its 24-hour peak of $473.60. This matters as U.S. exchanges angle for a bigger slice of perpetual futures—a leveraged, expiry-free market that can stir up volatility in less-traded coins if it attracts more volume. Still, Coinbase’s BCH perpetual contract hasn’t gained much traction: open interest sat at just $1.25K, with 24-hour volume reaching only $1.98K on Thursday. Appetite for leveraged BCH in the U.S. remains thin.
