It is not easy for a contentious fork to make a name for itself, especially if the community that chose to split divides even further as the years go by. Despite all these hurdles, Bitcoin Cash is still one of the go-to options for peer-to-peer payments and is arguably the most established Bitcoin fork. In this article, we will have a look at Bitcoin Cash price prediction 2022 to 2030 to see what experts say about its value in the future.

Bitcoin Cash Price Prediction 2022–2030

[table id=24 /]

What is Bitcoin Cash (BCH)?

In short, Bitcoin Cash is a hard fork of Bitcoin that split from it in August, 2017 as a result of a long community discussion about solving the scalability problem. Possible solutions included modifying the source code to allow a second layer or increasing the 1MB block size. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) represents the “larger block size” solution. Bitcoin Cash as of today, after several upgrades, features 32 MB blocks, which let more transactions be processed at once.  ChangeHero has a beginner’s guide to Bitcoin Cash if you want to learn more about the history and applications of the coin.

Bitcoin Cash Price History

BCH Price in 2017–2018

Due to significant support, Bitcoin Cash has started its independent journey at around $400. Even despite the initial support refusals from Coinbase and Itbit, it reached the $900 mark just a few weeks later. The rise did not last and BCH entered a downtrend as the investors were selling BCH acquired at the moment of forking. It lasted until November, and Bitcoin Cash quickly caught up to the boom that the whole market was experiencing.  During it, its price has risen to an all-time high of $4,355.62 on December 20, 2017. The following correction was market-wide but during a brief bull market in spring 2018, Bitcoin Cash outperformed the parent coin and surged by +580% to $470. In November 2018, the ongoing arguments over scalability resulted in another Bitcoin Cash chain split, forking it into BCH and BSV. Prior to the event, the price briefly spiked to $600 only to drop to double digits a month later.

BCH Price in 2019–2020

The recovery later in 2019, or at least a few spikes, can be attributed to scheduled upgrades. Schnorr signatures and SegWit recovery change further improved the network’s scalability. In spite of a painful start to the year, Bitcoin Cash performed decently, gaining ~30% and keeping the momentum into early 2020. In March of 2020, following the stock market, the entire crypto market plunged. BCH’s own halving took place on April 8, 2020 but unlike the case with Bitcoin halving, BCH did not rally. By the end of the year, though, it picked up some steam and closed above $350.

Bitcoin Cash Price in 2021-2022

We can see a striking similarity between BCH price charts in 2017–2018 and 2021–2022. Though it failed to overcome its previous record in May 2021, at the peak of the latest market cycle, it reached $1,542.43. In November, when Bitcoin was running toward a second leg up and even beat its ATH, BCH did not see enough volume to back up any kind of significant price action. Nonetheless, 2021 closed at $430.64 to a gain of 26% from the start of the year. In 2022 so far, the downtrend has not relieved its grasp, and BCH keeps losing value. At the time of writing, BCH price is $379.66 and the coin is ranked 26th by market capitalization on CoinMarketCap.

What Can Influence the Price of Bitcoin Cash?

Miner Reward Halving

Regular and pre-programmed miner reward slashing, also known as “halving” is one of mechanisms to keep a cryptocurrency deflationary.  All three major branches of Bitcoin shared the first two halvings, but 2020’s third halving was the first for BCH. The block reward was lowered to 6.25 BCH and just like before, this event was expected to trigger a bull market.  There was no repetition of the events of a Bitcoin halving but the total supply of BCH (21 million) is still decreasingly accessible. With that quality in mind, it also can act as a hedge asset.

Adoption Prospects

Bitcoin Cash was meant to become the ‘digital cash’ Satoshi Nakamoto wanted Bitcoin to be. The Bitcoin Cash community is interested in increasing the number of businesses that accept the currency. The prospect of official adoption and receiving a legal tender status recently came from a Netherlands constituent kingdom of Sint Maarten. The head of United People’s Party, Rolando Brison, announced he is researching a bill that would make Bitcoin Cash legal tender in their jurisdiction.

Tech Updates

In addition to integrations that expand the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem, BCH chain upgrades two times a year on a schedule. The upcoming May 15 update will not have any fundamental consensus changes but will have quality-of-life improvements, such as arithmetic operations on larger numbers and introspection operations. The influence of scheduled upgrades works both ways: positively and negatively. The update on November 15, 2020, saw the chain split into BCHN and BCHABC.  The main point of contempt was in block reward distribution: BCHABC supporters insisted 8% of it should go to a centralized treasury. The split didn’t affect price much but the investor confidence was shaken as this was yet another case of community disagreement.

Bitcoin Cash on Twitter

Trader TheWolf shared a chart claiming that the setup for BCH is pretty promising.

The sentiment is shared by another trader, phoney. They are analyzing volume and relative strength index to anticipate trend changes.

And here is the news that brought BCH back into the spotlight. Whether it will become Sint Maarten’s legal tender is one of the many things to look forward to in the near future.

Bitcoin Cash Price Prediction 2022

The Economy Forecast Agency’s LongForecast tells traders and holders to brace for volatility. The peak will be reached in May 2022, $495, and the year is predicted to close at $368. TradingBeasts are not bullish, either: according to their Bitcoin Cash price prediction, it’s all downhill from here. By December 2022, BCH will have lost 17.95% of its value and close somewhere between $265.282 and $312.097.

YouTuber HueFin News is more optimistic, though. Right now and for some time into the near future, BCH will be trading sideways between $260 and $380. The watershed level which will decide where BCH will move is at January 2022 prices, $375–400. If the buyers sustain the momentum, BCH can break out to the upside to $450–500.

Bitcoin Cash Predictions for 2023–2024

With volatility taken into account, DigitalCoinPrice predicts that early 2023 will see BCH at its highest, $682.06 in February. By December, it will shed some value and move lower down to $501.40 at the very least. According to the Bitcoin Cash price prediction by WalletInvestor, BCH holders will stay in the black but will not see significant returns beyond 66.8% in 2024. Average price of opening will float around $943.224, and having touched a high at $1,067 and a low at $551, BCH price is expected to return to the high at 2024’s close.

Bitcoin Cash Price Prediction 2025

In a few years, in 2025, CryptoGround projects that BCH will multiply its value. It can grow up to $1,864.6867. Decent growth is predicted by CoinPriceForecast: they project that in 2025 BCH can appreciate by +144% and be worth $930. Coinpedia analytics dismiss the possibility of BCH ever crashing simply because it is based on Bitcoin. Their conservative BCH forecast for 2025 gives a target around $900 but they do not rule out it reaching $1,195.11 and even run to $3,566.73.

Bitcoin Cash Price Prediction 2030

Most past predictions could not foresee the 2021 rally, and forecasting to almost ten years in the future is unreliable. Some algorithms and services still try. CoinPriceForecast estimates that in 2030 Bitcoin Cash can reach $1,590. CryptocurrencyPricePrediction forecast growth from $7,230 to $9,038 in 2030.

ChangeHero’s BCH Price Prediction

Bitcoin Cash has a supportive community and infrastructure which offers a lot of room for improvement. Bitcoin Cash is intended for daily use, which it achieves by having low transaction costs and integrating in payment solutions and even DeFi. Considering all the data, it is fair to say Bitcoin Cash can beat its 2017 ATH. However, it is more likely to happen over time, making it a better option for long-term investments.
