BTCB2, the cryptocurrency on a minority chain that replaced Bitcoin’s SHA-256 proof-of-work with BLAKE2b, saw a reported Neoxa Exchange ask rise from about $80 to $176, while trading remained thin and market pricing was questioned. Earlier data showed an $82 bid against a $190 ask, a $108 difference or 131.7% spread, with asks reaching $389, while Bitcoin traded near $76,942-$77,000. Reported 24-hour volume reached about $94,100 on BTCB2/USDC and $19,300 on BTCB2/BTC, but BitcoinBIP110.org urged caution over unverified exchange prices and social-media claims. The chain split from Bitcoin at block 961632, stalled at 961639, resumed under BLAKE2b at block 961640 and later produced more than 800 blocks, despite little hashrate and no major exchange listings.
