B2X Fork Happening Soon
We are just a few hundred blocks away from the 2X split happening on December 28th (block 501451). B2X futures have soared to $1,100 USD, making this split priced more significant than Bitcoin Gold.
What I have not heard is whether any exchanges besides some Asian ones are supporting the B2X split. Bittrex has not released any guidance at all since the re-announcement of B2X revived, which causes me to believe they intend to stick to their prior statement of not supporting it. Like coinbase saying they would not support the bitcoin cash split, to me this sounds like a similar situation where they may very well back-pedal their previous statements since Bitcoin holdings are now carrying an altcoin worth 7% of what bitcoin is worth. 7% of 264 billion dollars is 18 billion dollars of capital coming into the cryptocurrency market very soon. 18 billion in capital is worth more than many companies that trade on public stock exchanges.
Protect your B2X Coin
If you are holding Bitcoin on an exchange, you may want to take necessary steps to avoid losing out on the B2X split since there is no guarantee they will support this split.
Have you got any news from other exchanges about B2X? Post below and let us all know.
YoBit and HitBTC seem to be the two main exchanges supporting futures trading and then supporting the forked coin B2X.
