An unidentified address exchanged 73.31 ETH for approximately 655.74 BCH through THORChain, a decentralized cross-chain protocol, in a transaction valued at around $163,000. An earlier record estimated the transaction at approximately $163,600. The swap fueled speculation that Roger Ver, known as Bitcoin Jesus and a prominent Bitcoin Cash advocate, was buying BCH again, although Onchain Lens did not establish that the wallet belonged to him. Ver has championed BCH since its creation during Bitcoin's scaling dispute in August 2017, arguing that larger blocks and lower fees better support peer-to-peer electronic cash. The transaction comes after Ver reached a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Justice Department in October 2025 and agreed to pay almost $50 million in taxes, penalties and interest.
