Bitcoin BLAKE2b fork plans 45-day lockup for miners amid price drop and network attacks

The Bitcoin BLAKE2b fork, which split from Bitcoin in August 2026, is introducing a new rule requiring miners to wait 45 days before spending newly mined coins to prevent network exploitation. This comes after the fork's token, BTCB2, dropped 84% from its $1,799 peak to around $270-$315 amid accusations of some miners attacking the network. The change is set to activate at block 973440 and is supported by at least one exchange, Neoxa. The fork has faced challenges including low exchange listings, initial mining stalls, and network instability since its launch.

The Bitcoin BLAKE2b fork's token BTCB2 has plunged 84% from its peak amid network challenges.
