by On August 1, 2017, Bitcoin split into another currency known as Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
As the Bitcoin network split, all major Bitcoin exchanges started working ceaselessly to credit their users’ accounts with the new cryptocurrency (BCH).
Just after that, many exchanges also started trading Bitcoin Cash, while other exchanges are still trying to catch up.
Immediately after the fork, BCH prices shot up 100%. This price rally was not a surprise to many. Given the circumstances under which BCH was launched, it was an expected rise.
Many BCH owners also started selling BCH due to good margins, so that they could purchase either BTC or their favorite altcoin in exchange for this free money.
But some users are still looking for reliable exchanges which are supporting the deposit/withdrawal/trade of Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
For such members of the CoinSutra community who are still wondering how to sell their BCH and have heeded to our advice of keeping their private keys in their possession, I thought of publishing this list of official exchange partners of BCH.
So without further delay, here is the official list of Bitcoin Cash exchanges. I will keep updating this as support grows for BCH. So stay tuned here at CoinSutra.
Note: I have used names such as BCH, BCC, and Bitcoin Cash interchangeably as this is how they are displayed on the respective exchanges. However, readers need not get confused because BCH and BCC are both abbreviated forms of Bitcoin Cash.

Best Websites to Buy/Sell Bitcoin Cash for Bitcoin or other Crypto
1. Bitfinex
Bitfinex is also one of the biggest Bitcoin exchanges out there. Like most of the biggest BTC exchanges, after the fork, Bitfinex has also provided its BTC holders BCH funds. But the distribution was not in a 1:1 ratio, unlike the other exchanges.
Bitfinex has announced a new distribution ratio called “socialized distribution coefficient” because they were expecting a surplus or deficit of BCH at the time of distribution.
This ratio or coefficient settled at 1: 0.8539 at the time of distribution, meaning for every 1 BTC, the holder got 0.8539 BCH.
If you wish to deposit/withdrawal/trade BCC (or BCH), the following trading pairs are available on Bitfinex:
- BCH/BTC
- BCH/ETH
- BCH/USD
Bittrex is a popular US-based cryptocurrency exchange. They were a little dicey before the fork on their decision of trading BCC, but they have credited a 1:1 ratio of BCH funds to BTC holders after the fork.
Here is what they said to users:
If you have a Bitcoin (BTC) balance on Bittrex during the BCC UAHF time on August 1st, 5:20am PT (12:20pm UTC), you will be additionally credited the equivalent amount of Bitcoin Cash (BCC) on a 1:1 basis. i.e. 1 BTC on Bittrex held during the on-exchange snapshot will get you 1 BCC. BTC held on orders will also be credited. Only the BTC held on your account is eligible for BCC.
To get started, you need to create a Bittrex account and verify yourself by submitting the valid ID proofs.
If you wish to deposit/withdrawal/trade BCC (or BCH), the following trading pairs are available on Bittrex:
- BCC/BTC
- BCC/ETH
- BCC/USTD

And accordingly, all Kraken users holding a Bitcoin (BTC) balance at the time of the fork have been credited with an equal amount of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) after the fork.
Users can trade here with basic account verification. But for higher trading limits, you will be required to register and verify yourself.

For trading BCC for supported fiat currencies, HitBTC requires you to complete a verification process. Here is the verification policy and verification guide. For trading supported cryptocurrencies, verification is not required on HitBTC, but this feature has a limited cap on it.

Changelly allows you to exchange your BCC funds for 30+ altcoins and also for original BTC. So if you wish to exchange your Bitcoin Cash now you should head toward Changelly.

Note: Though this guide is for exchanging ETH for BTC, the process is exactly the same for Exchanging Bitcoin Cash for BTC or any other supported altcoin.
But before you decide to sell Bitcoin Cash on ShapeShift do read their official statement regarding BCH.

Conclusion
Forks are and will be an integral part of the cryptocurrency market. This historic event of Bitcoin fork is another wake-up call for all of us cryptocurrency lovers to control our private keys. You need not trust any third party to control your keys. With wallets such as Ledger Nano S, Trezor you can securely control your private keys and can be your own bank.
And if you are lucky enough, you can enjoy the same benefit of forking, if in the future a fork happens again.
And needless to say, it will be interesting to see how the story of BCH goes from here.

Thanks for the excellent compilation of great info. Any advice on which exchanges will process deposits quickest? I deposited BCH to Bittrex but they require 20 confirmations… and it seems to be confirming at the rate of less than one confirm per hour. This may be more a limitation of BCH than of Bittrex. But I’d be interested to know if any other exchanges somehow allow quicker deposit and trade transactions. Thanks!
Hi
You may try HitBTC as it requires 2 confirmations for deposit.
Then you can exchange your BCH or BCC whatever you call it for following trading pairs.
BCC/BTC
BCC/ETH
BCC/USD
Here is their official statement “BTC hard fork is over. Bitcoin Cash has been accrued to all users in accordance with their BTC balances both on Main and Trading accounts.We require 2 confirmations for BCC deposits. Enjoy trading!”
Hey Sudhir, What do you mean by ‘HitBTC requires 2 confirmations for deposit’? Can you please elaborate.
I tried reading it somewhere else but got confused.
It means after 2 confirmations on your BCH/BCC deposit you can begin trading in supported trading pairs.
BCC/BTC
BCC/ETH
BCC/USD
