Bitcoin Cash vs Bitcoin: what the numbers say
At the latest snapshot, 1 BCH = 0.003593 BTC.
By market capitalisation, Bitcoin is the larger network — about 278.3× the size of Bitcoin Cash in AUD terms. Larger caps generally mean deeper liquidity on Australian exchanges and tighter spreads, while smaller caps can move more sharply on news or thin order books.
Over the past seven days, BCH is up 14.96% while BTC is up 1.90% — Bitcoin Cash has out-performed by 13.06 percentage points. Short-term percentage moves show momentum but say nothing about long-term value.
Australian buyers can trade both Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin on AUSTRAC-registered exchanges such as CoinSpot, Independent Reserve, Swyftx and Kraken AU. Each disposal — including swapping BCH for BTC — is a CGT event under ATO guidance, so keep records of the AUD value at the time of every trade.
