Bitstamp, one of the oldest cryptocurrency exchanges, announced it will launch trading of Bitcoin Cash (Bitcoin.Cash), Forbes reported.
“We get requests from our users who want to trade it,” said Bitstamp CEO Nejc Kodric.
“We want to be as agnostic as possible so we look at the system, and if we believe there is sufficient demand and there will be trading and trading volume, we’re going to list it.”
Trading of Bitcoin Cash on Bitstamp begins in the next couple weeks.
Bitstamp is one of the more conservative exchanges and currently only offers trading in four other cryptocurrencies — Bitcoin, Ethereum's Ether (ETH/USD), Litecoin (LTC/USD) and Ripple's XRP.
Bitcoin Cash markets recently rallied reaching an all-time high of $2,400 across global exchanges. Presently BCH markets have dropped to roughly $1,200.
Bitcoin Cash currently has a market capitalization of $20 billion compared to Bitcoin’s $137 billion.
