Bitcoin Cash rose 31.17% in 24 hours to about $355, extending its 30-day gain to 33.19% and lifting market capitalization to $7.1 billion. The move followed CME Group’s announcement of planned Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap futures for Oct. 19, 2026, while newer coverage described CME as having launched Bitcoin Cash futures; the older record states the products remained subject to regulatory review. The rally included a 388% increase in 24-hour trading volume to $1.74 billion and a roughly $1.7 billion increase in market value. Other market snapshots recorded BCH at $353, up 30.2%, with $1.82 billion in 24-hour turnover, while a separate surge-period measurement showed about $1.36 billion in volume and more than $111 million in spot activity. Finbold’s AI Agent warned on Sept. 23 of a possible decline to $344.50 by Oct. 1, 2026, although Gemini 3.5 Flash projected $368.50 and DeepSeek Chat forecast $320.50. CME’s proposed cash-settled contracts would include standard and Micro sizes, with BCH contracts representing 250 and 25 BCH and UNI contracts representing 10,000 and 1,000 UNI. The contracts would settle in dollars against CME CF reference rates and would expand CME’s regulated cryptocurrency derivatives lineup, but neither a listing nor the rally guarantees sustained spot-market demand.
