No single dated event in the next 90 days.
Miners get new coins every block. Nothing is burned.
BCH is Bitcoin Cash, a mined coin capped at 21M. 20.10M circulate, about 95.7% of all that will ever exist.
Sell pressure. Miners are the only source of new coins: 40,525 BCH in 90 days, 3.125 per block. Nothing vests, and no team or fund holds coins outside the market.
Buy pressure. Nothing is burned or bought back. Every fee goes to miners, so 0 BCH leaves the supply.
Net. Net, supply grows about 0.20% in 90 days, and the same next.
Every new block pays its miner 3.125 new BCH. 12,968 blocks were mined in these 90 days, one about every 10 minutes, which created 40,525 new BCH — about 450 a day. The pay halves every 210,000 blocks; the next cut, to 1.5625 BCH, is due around April 2028.
Nothing vests. Bitcoin Cash split from Bitcoin in August 2017 by copying every Bitcoin balance; there was no presale, team share or investor allocation to unlock.
No foundation, DAO or developer fund holds BCH, and no part of the block reward goes to one. Circulating supply is only 21.9 BCH below total, the coins from the last few blocks, so there is no locked team stash that could be released.
The Mt. Gox estate still repays creditors in BTC and BCH; its deadline is Oct 31 2026 and its remaining BCH balance is not published. Those coins are already counted as circulating, so a payout moves BCH between holders and adds no new supply.
Nothing buys BCH back. There is no company or protocol treasury with a buyback plan.
Bitcoin Cash burns no fees: all 23.1 BCH of fees in these 90 days went to miners. The common burn address received nothing in the window, and supply rose exactly by the block reward.
No project treasury buys BCH. The largest listed fund holds about 380K BCH and has asked to become an exchange-traded fund, but its coins were bought in the market, so they are already in the float.
Bitcoin Cash is mined, not staked, so there is no staking lock that takes coins out of the market.
Two sides: how much people want BCH right now, and how much buying could come later.
This part is based on social media. It shows how hot BCH is right now. A better rank means more people are talking about it.
Today, people are talking about BCH for two reasons:
CME Group plans to list Bitcoin Cash futures on Oct 19 2026, pending regulatory review. One contract is 250 BCH, and a micro contract is 25 BCH. People ask if big funds will now trade BCH, and if futures can move the price at all.
BCH jumped to about $345 on Sep 22 2026, the day CME first announced the futures. On Oct 17 2026 it was near $276, about 20% lower, after a 6% drop on Oct 16 2026. People ask if the launch day will bring buyers back, or if the news is already in the price.
Checked Oct 17 2026
Supply and demand point to a negative long-run signal for Bitcoin Cash (Oct 17 2026, score 5/10). Bitcoin Cash adds +0.20% new supply in 90 days, and demand reads very weak (1.5/5). Bitcoin Cash's price drivers: 0 ▲ price up, 1 ▼ price down.
CME starts Bitcoin Cash futures on Oct 19 2026, just 7 days away. A BCH ETF filing is still waiting for a decision. Meanwhile Grayscale's trust holds about 383K BCH and is slowly shrinking, which probably weighs on price until an ETF listing turns it around. That leaves Bitcoin Cash's long-run signal at negative, by supply and demand.
Bitcoin Cash trades near $279 (Oct 17 2026). $1,000 a coin means a $20.1B market cap, 3.6 times today's $5.61B. Bitcoin Cash's supply also grows +0.82% in the next year, so every extra coin needs buyers too. By supply and demand, Bitcoin Cash's long-run signal is negative today.
We would read Bitcoin Cash differently if new supply jumps (today +0.20% in 90 days), or demand falls from very weak, or Grayscale BCH trust keeps pointing down. Until then Bitcoin Cash's signal stays negative. Mark this date for Bitcoin Cash: Oct 19 2026 — CME BCH futures start.
Bitcoin Cash scores 5/10 on our framework (Oct 17 2026): supply 3.5/5 (steady), demand 1.5/5. Over the next year Bitcoin Cash's supply changes +0.82%. The long-run signal is negative.
Supply and demand favor Bitcoin Cash most when little new supply is coming, demand is strong and the price drivers point up. Right now Bitcoin Cash has +0.20% new supply in 90 days (steady), demand very weak (1.5/5), drivers 0 ▲ / 1 ▼.
Bitcoin Cash's price drivers today: 0 pointing up, 1 pointing down, out of 2. ▼ Grayscale BCH trust: Grayscale holds ~383K BCH, slowly falling; ETF listing could reverse it. • ETF and futures: ETF filing still pending; CME BCH futures start Oct 19 2026.
Bitcoin Cash: negative signal, 5/10 · Bitcoin: positive signal, 8.5/10 (Oct 17 2026). By supply and demand, Bitcoin Cash reads weaker than Bitcoin today.
Every answer here applies basic economic theory — the law of supply and demand — to this coin's data. It is not financial advice. How we read every coin →
We look at two things, half each: supply and demand. Fewer new coins mean less selling pressure. A meme coin scores 1.5 at most on supply: its team got its coins for free, so no new supply does not make it safe. We also show each coin's age, with a warning when it is younger than 1 year. Demand looks at how much people want the coin now and how much buying could come later. Price Drivers (Beta) are the 2 or 3 things that can move one coin's price that supply and demand miss; they have no score. BCH supply grows +0.20% in the next 90 days, so it shows in red: more BCH reaches the market than is removed. Zero or falling supply is always green, any growth is red.
