Coinbase’s farewell to Bitcoin SV sparks concerns, but BSV holds steady at $48.

Coinbase to pull the plug on Bitcoin SV: what lies ahead for BSV?

Share this article

  • Coinbase has announced the planned liquidation of BSV.
  • BSV continued to trade in the $48 price range.

It appears that Bitcoin SV [BSV] has reached the end of its journey on Coinbase. As per a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on the 6th of November, Coinbase has officially announced the discontinuation of support for Bitcoin SV.

According to the letter from Coinbase, this change will take effect on 9 January 2024. After the stated date, all BSV holdings will be liquidated. Furthermore, the BSV assets will be converted into supported assets on the exchange. 

It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time that Coinbase has taken significant action against BSV. A few years ago, they delisted it from their platform. But Coinbase is not the only major exchange to have done so.

In 2019, Binance [BNB], one of the world’s largest exchanges, also delisted this asset. These actions were largely driven by security concerns that had arisen in the past.

Notably, the security concerns stemmed from multiple 51% attacks on the BSV network, enabling malicious actors to manipulate block validation in their favor.
