Bitcoin fork ECX launched, holders can claim new coins but must split holdings carefully to avoid losing Bitcoin.

The new Bitcoin fork called ECX launched on October 29, 2026, crediting holders with an equal amount of ECX coins based on their Bitcoin balance at block 973,728. To claim ECX, holders must perform a replay-protected transaction to separate ECX from Bitcoin before moving their Bitcoin, or risk losing ECX due to replay attacks. ECX is currently tradable on only a few small platforms, and major exchanges have not yet confirmed crediting ECX to customers. In Germany, receiving ECX is not taxable, and the original Bitcoin purchase date applies for tax purposes when selling ECX. Investors should be cautious of scams demanding seed phrases and verify wallet compatibility for safe claiming.

The ECX Bitcoin fork launched recently, offering holders a new coin credited based on Bitcoin balances at a specific block.
