Stand of some major exchanges on BCH fork

I will provide information about some of the major crypto exchanges - how they propose to handle the BCH fork.

First the good news for BCH lovers, BCH ABC is getting decisively defeated:-

At the time of this screen shot today BCHN is getting 810/1000 blocks and BCH ABC only 1/1000.

• MXC exchange will be supporting both the BCH coins for claiming in 1:1 ratio, if such a thing happens. here is a link to that website. https://www.mxc.com/

In fact they have enabled claiming from 31 Oct but it is as IOU. If you have BCH or BCH ABC with them then you can claim the equal proportion of the other coin. But it is only virtually as the real second coin is not launched yet. After the fork you will get the real other coin automatically if it comes into existence.

The screenshot of the announcement is here.

Here is the link to the screenshot page. https://support.mxc-exchange.com/hc/en-001/articles/360051740791

Now as per their exchange the rates of the coins after the split is given ( at the time of taking the screenshot). Here is the screenshot of it.

Here you can see that BCH has been divided into BCHN and BCHA. At the time of the screenshot the price of BCHN is showing as 229.1 USDT and the price of BCHA is showing as 22.81 USDT and the rate of BCH is 258.46 USDT. I think these rates are as per the trading going on in their exchange as they have enabled it since 31 Oct.

Please do your own research if you want to use this exchange during the fork.

• Now about Coinex

Here is what coinex is saying:

Since the Bitcoin ABC full node implementation is widely
 used and recognized, it is very likely that BCH will be
 split into two chains during the upgrade. One of which 
will inherit the name of BCH and the other will adopt a 
brand new name. If a fork occurs, all BCH holders can get
 two cryptocurrencies at a 1:1 ratio.

Unlike previous forks, this potential fork may be unable
 to continue due to lack of hashrate for a certain chain,
 or it possibly bring about two chains but not knowing 
which chain will use the name of BCH. More complexly, 
this fork lacks a transaction replay protection mechanism,
 which may result in considerable chaos
 and users’ asset loss.

. Before the official fork on November 15, users can convert
 BCH into BCHA and BCHN at a 1:1 ratio. BCHA represents the 
Bitcoin ABC chain after the fork while BCHN represents the
 Bitcoin Cash Node chain. Also, users can re-convert these 
two forked coins into BCH at the same ratio before the fork.
 We will support BCHA/BCH and BCHN/BCH markets soon, and more
 markets later if needed. 

2. If BCH forks into two chains on November 15, we will appoint
 the chain with the highest price at the last moment before the
 fork as BCH. Users who hold the forked coin of that chain can 
obtain BCH at a 1:1 ratio, and BCH holders can get two different 
coins at the same ratio. In the future, we will re-adjust the 
naming rules based on the community consensus.

3. If Bitcoin Cash does not fork on November 15, then whichever
 chain wins will inherit BCH. At the same time, we will delist
 the forked coin of the other chain. Therefore, please be aware
 of investment risks.

Hope it helps. DYOR. Also remember in exchanges you will not hold the private key.

In this regard Telesfor sir also posted an article on Exodus wallet.https://read.cash/@Telesfor/how-to-claim-bitcoin-abc-after-the-fork-probably-the-easiest-way-c6e41ead

I would like to give an update on this, with the expectation of permission from Telesfor sir.

I got this reply from exodus on my email.

Hi Aniruddha,

Thank you for reaching out to Exodus support about the BCH fork! I'll be happy to answer your question today.

Aniruddha, it is looking likely that we will not be supporting two BCH assets in the wallet. This means that although you will still be able to claim your forked coins, you may not see the forked BCH asset in your Exodus wallet. However, at any time, you are always free to access the forked coins in a different wallet that supports it because you own your BCH private keys in Exodus.

That is the way things are looking for us right now, but if there are any changes to this, I'll be happy to send a follow up email for you to let you know.

Please also bear in mind that BCH will likely not be able to be exchanged within the wallet during the duration of the fork. There is also a risk of losing funds when you are sending/receiving BCH during that time. My personal advice is to either leave your BCH funds in your Exodus wallet until the dominant network is stable again before transacting funds, or, if you want to be transacting funds during that time, to move your funds out of the Exodus wallet beforehand.

I hope this helps to shine some light on your question. Please let me know if there is anything else that we can clarify for you.

All my best,
Nick

-I emailed atomic wallet and got this reply.

Hi there,

Thank you for your message.

In Atomic wallet, one of the BCH chains will be chosen for the further support of the coin. This decision will be made after the fork occurs. If you will have a preference for another chain, you can always import your BCH private key to the official BCH wallet and manage your coins from there. We will inform you accordingly on our plans.
