On October 31, 2026, Bitcoin will undergo a permanent hard fork creating a new blockchain called eCash (ECX). Bitcoin holders who control their private keys will automatically receive an equal balance of ECX coins, as the new chain copies Bitcoin's ledger up to the split. However, holders on exchanges may not receive ECX if the provider does not support the fork. The fork involves three launch stages and optional replay protection, which affects transaction safety. German tax rules treat the forked coins as acquired at the original purchase date, impacting tax calculations. Investors are advised to hold private keys themselves and beware of scams asking for seed phrases.
