Following a 39% price surge at the end of July, at least 10 Bitcoin Cash whales have left the network

According to longtime crypto user Ali Martinez, based on data from analytics site Santiment, the number of whales holding between 10,000 and 100,000 Bitcoin Cash – around $ 3 – $ 30 million – has been down ten since August 1. The drop comes after the token surged 38.7% from $224.46 on July 17 to a three-month high of $311.34 on July 31, implying that a number of whales could have sold their holdings.

In response, the BCH community floated the algorithm change as part of the network’s November upgrade. Cointelegraph reported on August 7 that developers had found a compromise between the two proposed solutions. The network will perform an ‘Aserti3-2d’ difficulty adjustment recommended by leading BCHN maintainer Jonathan Toomin and an infrastructure funding plan.
