Bitcoin will undergo two forks in August 2026: a planned hard fork called eCash around block 964,000 and a possible accidental soft fork via BIP-110. Each fork duplicates the existing Bitcoin ledger at the split point, giving holders an equal amount of coins on both chains due to the way Bitcoin tracks unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs). However, the 1:1 coin ratio at the split is not a gift but a duplication of ownership records. Post-split, the two chains diverge in rules, mining difficulty, and market value, with replay protection and mining power influencing the forked coin's usability and survival. Custodial wallets may not automatically grant access to the new forked coins, depending on exchange policies.
