Earlier last week, the highly controversial Bitcoin Cash hard fork finally happened, resulting in two separate chains — Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCH ABC) and Bitcoin Cash SV (BCH SV). But there can only be one real “Bitcoin Cash,” and the war to claim to that title is intensifying. As far as Kraken cryptocurrency exchange desk is concerned though, there’s a clear winner.
