Bitcoin Cash Trading Now Available on GDAX

We’re happy to announce that Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is now listed and available for trading on GDAX.

We made the decision to list BCH by considering such factors as customer interest, developer support, network security, market capitalization, trading volume, and our Digital Asset Framework. You can read more about Bitcoin Cash on our FAQ page.

Bitcoin Cash was created by a fork of the Bitcoin network on August 1st, 2017.
