Following its inclusion in Binance’s futures trading options, one of the top global cryptocurrency exchanges, Bitcoin SV (BSV) saw a significant 64% gain in value this week. After splitting out from Bitcoin Cash (BCH) in late 2018, BSV is now trading at $54.02, a significant increase from $34.08 just a week earlier.
On Saturday, BSV reached a significant peak of over $58 on prominent spot markets. The last instance in which BSV was observed trading above $58 occurred in mid-September 2022. Since its notable surge on September 27th, the price of the crypto has experienced a substantial increase of more than 90%.
The price of Bitcoin SV reached an all-time high of $491.64 during the previous bull run. However, the market crashed, sending the coin tumbling more than 95%. Following rumors of the adoption of a Bitcoin ETF, the price of BSV has begun to move bullishly and is currently trading at an 89.19% discount to its previous ATH.
Bitrue, a widely used centralized exchange platform, has recently included BSV in its USDT pair and initiated a promotional campaign offering a $1,000 welcome bonus. This exchange is notably favored by the XRP and Ripple communities.

Bitcoin SV: Reclaiming Satoshi’s Vision With Larger Blocks
Bitcoin SV (BSV), designed as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, asserts that it embodies the original vision of Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, despite the controversial claim made by its creator, Australian computer scientist Craig Wright, who many in the crypto community dispute.
BSV seeks to address the efficiency issues seen in Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) by substantially increasing block size to minimize transaction fees.
In the beginning of the year, BSV coin was trading in the range of $39.50 to $44.75 until March, after which it saw a decline and traded between $34.90 and $39.40 until May. This was followed by relatively minor fluctuations before another drop, where the price ranged from $29 to $34.90.
In June, BSV reached an all-time low, but later gained momentum, surging and subsequently facing rejection around $56.47, resulting in a 50% drop. The coin then traded between $34.93 and $39.54 for a period, followed by another decline.
BSV Price Surge Tied To SEC ETF Speculation, Intra-Community Disputes
A sudden increase in the value of Bitcoin SV (BSV) has occurred recently, and some analysts have linked it to the possibility that the U.S. SEC may approve a spot Bitcoin ETF. Given the current disputes within the BSV community—Christen Ager-Hanssen, a well-known BSV supporter, resigned as CEO of nChain due to a disagreement with BSV leader Craig Wright—this demonstration is significant.
In summary, the future trajectory of the BSV price is contingent upon the successful breach of the significant resistance level at $56.48 by bullish market forces. This breakthrough has the potential to entice fresh investors and then challenge the higher barrier level at $61.99.
