Bitcoin Cash Sets Multiple Records in February Amid Extreme Market Fear

As the cryptocurrency market endures a downturn that began last September, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) stood out in February 2026 by breaking several key records, highlighting the network's resilience amid widespread uncertainty. The most striking milestone came when the average transaction value on the BCH network surged past $2 million, an all-time high since the chain split from Bitcoin in 2017.

Last year the figure hovered around $20,000 — roughly a 100-fold increase — and historical spikes of this metric preceded major price rallies in 2018 and 2021, suggesting large investors may be returning. BCH’s market share has also strengthened while nearly $2 trillion exited the broader crypto market since last September.

Bitcoin Cash Dominance climbed from 0.25% to 0.48%, its highest level since April 2024, and that relative strength helped the asset hold around $560 for several consecutive months. Expectations for the Layla upgrade, scheduled for May 2026, appear to be driving accumulation.
