Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is one of the notable altcoins in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, significantly increasing investor interest by recording a new high in 2025.
Bitcoin Cash is drawing special attention. Despite not being included in the trend of corporate strategic reserves, its price continues to rise steadily. There are no major new developments in the project, and it is rarely mentioned in expert discussions.
Bitcoin Cash Rising for 3 Consecutive Months
According to TradingView data, BCH price has risen 98% from $253 to over $489 in 3 consecutive months. As a result, BCH has ranked 12th in market capitalization, surpassing SUI and LINK.
BCH once exceeded $500, officially recording a new high in 2025. Particularly, almost no altcoins have achieved this milestone amid the ongoing altcoin winter.
Along with this, Bitcoin Cash's market capitalization dominance has increased from 0.2% in March to 0.3% in June, indicating continued capital inflow into BCH.
Additionally, according to LunarCrush data, BCH's social activity has reached its highest level in 2025. This metric measures how frequently BCH is mentioned on social media platforms.
Google Trends data also supports this. The keyword "Bitcoin Cash" search peaked at 100 points on June 20, the highest level in the past 90 days.
Moreover, the increase in BCH trading volume is another signal of growing interest. According to CoinMarketCap, daily trading volume has increased from $200 million at the beginning of this month to over $700 million.
These data clearly show that investors are newly focusing on Bitcoin Cash. According to a recent BeInCrypto analysis, BCH can break through $500 and reach over $550.
Cause of BCH Surge?
Some investors are puzzled by BCH's price momentum. This altcoin attracts less institutional attention compared to SOL, XRP, or Hyperliquid.
Bitcoin Cash also lacks viral narratives in the community. The last major upgrade was made over a month ago. However, BCH's supply distribution offers certain advantages. It has similarities with Bitcoin.
According to CoinMarketCap data, BCH has a fixed supply of 19.8 million, already in circulation. Additionally, BCH is characterized by low transaction fees. User demand remains steady with over 53,000 transactions per day.
Moreover, over 97% of BCH wallets are maintained by long-term holders who have held BCH for more than a year. The whale wallet ratio, which represents wallets holding over 1% of the supply, is approximately 17%. These factors support a positive long-term supply-demand dynamic.
"[The reason for BCH's surge is] it has been upgraded to be better than Bitcoin, and maximalists can no longer suppress it. When there's no reason to buy Bitcoin at $100,000, you can buy Bitcoin Cash at $500. Both have a supply of 21 million, use the same algorithm, and BCH actually has a larger block size." An investor commented on X.
The question remains whether this trend can be sustained long-term or is just a short-term price surge. Despite nearly doubling in three months, BCH is still below its all-time high of $1,600 recorded in 2021.
