What is BCH (Bitcoin Cash)?

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a peer-to-peer digital currency created on August 1, 2017 as a hard fork of Bitcoin. The split came after a fundamental disagreement in the Bitcoin community over how to scale the network — Bitcoin Cash increased the block size to enable faster transactions and significantly lower fees, making it better suited for everyday payments. Like Bitcoin, BCH has a hard cap of 21 million coins and uses Proof-of-Work, but it processes transactions faster and at a fraction of the cost. BCH has been listed on Australian exchanges since the very early days of the local crypto market and remains one of the most widely held altcoins among Australian investors. Whether you're buying BCH as a payment-focused alternative to Bitcoin or adding it to a diversified crypto portfolio, Uptrade is Australia's trusted Bitcoin Cash broker — making it simple, secure, and fast for investors across Australia.

BCH FAQs

How do I buy Bitcoin Cash (BCH) in Australia?
BCH is one of the most accessible cryptocurrencies for Australian investors and is available for direct AUD purchase on leading AUSTRAC-registered exchanges including CoinSpot, Swyftx, CoinJar, and Independent Reserve. It's also available on international platforms like Coinbase and Kraken. For Australian investors looking for personalised support — especially on larger BCH purchases — buying through a dedicated crypto broker like UpTrade offers competitive pricing, direct broker guidance, and seamless AUD conversions.
Is Bitcoin Cash (BCH) a good investment in 2026?
Bitcoin Cash has been one of the most resilient altcoins in the market, maintaining strong liquidity and exchange listings since 2017. Its investment case centres on its utility as a fast, low-fee payment network. That said, BCH has historically underperformed Bitcoin during bull markets and remains volatile like all crypto assets. Many Australian investors include BCH as a mid-risk diversification play within a broader crypto portfolio, and working with a BCH broker can help you size that position wisely.
What makes Bitcoin Cash different from Bitcoin?
BCH and Bitcoin share the same origin and 21 million coin supply cap, but diverged on block size. BCH uses larger blocks, enabling faster transactions at far lower fees — making it genuinely usable for everyday payments, not just store-of-value investing. Where sending Bitcoin can cost several dollars in fees during peak periods, a BCH transaction typically costs a fraction of a cent — which is why it remains popular among Australian merchants and everyday crypto users who prioritise practical payments over speculation.
Is it safe and legal to buy Bitcoin Cash in Australia?
Yes — Bitcoin Cash is fully legal to buy in Australia and is listed on virtually every major AUSTRAC-registered Australian exchange. The ATO treats BCH as a CGT asset — any gains made when selling or exchanging BCH are taxable and must be reported. BCH has one of the longest and most well-documented track records of any altcoin available to Australian investors, making it a familiar and accessible option for both new and experienced crypto holders.
