Leading cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp has announced that it will add support for Bitcoin Cash trading (BCH) on its platform.

The hard fork of bitcoin blockchain that took place on 01 August 2017, split the network into two and resulted in a new cryptocurrency, Bitcoin Cash.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash is the third most valuable cryptocurrency by market cap, following Bitcoin and Ethereum. It is currently trading at $1180 levels at press time.

In its official announcement, Bitstamp said:

“In response to the demand we have been seeing for Bitcoin Cash trading (BCH) and as part of our efforts to list more currencies, we have decided to provide trading support for the following three pairs: BCH/USD, BCH/EUR and BCH/BTC.”

The exchange said that the launch is scheduled to occur in the first week of December.
