Bitstamp, one of the oldest cryptocurrency exchanges, started today December 5 trading Bitcoin Cash tokens. And it will keep it free until the end of December 2017.
As promised in late November, the third-largest crypto exchange in the world started trading Bitcoin Cash tokens under the BCH ticker. Nevertheless, the official announcement -published a few hours ago- says they will refer to Bitcoin Cash as "Bcash (BCH)" on their platform.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash trades at a price of $1,575.
The exchange also decided to put some pretty lucrative incentives to help its customers get up and running with Bitcoin Cash trading. Thus, all trades will be free of charge until the end of the month, while further discounts will be available until next March:
In detail, the incentives for BCH trades are:
- FREE TRADING: Until 31 December 2017
- 75% discount: Until 31 January 2018
- 50% discount: Until 28 February 2018
- 25% discount: Until 31 March 2018
Bitstamp’s people twitted about the launch today:

What do you think about this development? Is it a win for Bitcoin Cash? Should Bitstamp avoid refering it as Bcash?
