It was an impressive start for Bitcoin Cash this week, but despite that, it fell to its lowest value and lost most of its value. Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin Cash lost nearly 3% of its value. Almost 20% of other cryptocurrencies managed to make some slight gains, though despite the overall red market.
Bitcoin Cash is growing in the Network Security area, thus providing proof for the fact that the development for the cryptocurrency is in the growth phase. The hash rate for Bitcoin Cash has been on a steady rise since June. The Bitcoin SV did not have a decent hash rate as it has been diminishing gradually over the same period.
CFTC chairman has confirmed Ether the cryptocurrency to be a commodity.
Tarbert stated that he did not believe that Ether was security. “We’ve been very clear on bitcoin: bitcoin is a commodity. We haven’t said anything about ether – until now,” Tarbert said. “It is my view as chairman of the CFTC that ether is a commodity.”
Tarbert has further argued about treating each new cryptocurrency. He stated that each new coin should be processed based on how it has been created.
