Bitcoin Cash price stands at 278.41 USD as futures contracts trade

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) trades at 278.41 USD on October 25, 2026, down 2.32 percent compared with the UTC daily close of October 24, 2026. The latest market context is the first block trade in CME Group’s Bitcoin Cash futures on October 20, 2026, while the network hashrate stands at 3.03 EH/s.

CME Group confirms the October 20 block trade

CME Group said on October 20, 2026, that FalconX and GSR executed the first block trade in its new Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap futures. The announcement said trading was underway in the contracts and described the products as an addition to CME Group’s single-asset cryptocurrency futures suite.

The October 20, 2026, transaction gives market participants a regulated derivatives venue for Bitcoin Cash exposure, but it does not represent a purchase of BCH for the underlying network. The exchange said the futures are listed under CME rules, while the block trade was executed by FalconX and GSR, according to CME Group.

Hashrate estimate reaches 3.03 EH/s

Bitcoin Cash’s network hashrate, the computing power used to secure and process proof-of-work blocks, was listed at 3.03 EH/s on October 25, 2026. The estimate also showed network difficulty of 484.34 G, according to MillionMiner.

MillionMiner said Bitcoin Cash uses the same SHA-256 application-specific integrated circuit machines as Bitcoin, so its hashrate can change within hours when mining equipment moves between networks. The October 25, 2026, estimate therefore describes current computing power rather than a fixed monthly average.
