Coinbase to Delist Controversial Bitcoin Spin-Off Bitcoin SV
-
Coinbase is removing support for Bitcoin SV (BSV) and will liquidate remaining holdings if not withdrawn by Jan 9.
-
BSV was created in 2018 after a hard fork of Bitcoin Cash, another Bitcoin spin-off. It's currently the 53rd largest cryptocurrency.
-
BSV is controversial due to main backer Craig Wright's unproven claims to be Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
-
BSV has been delisted from several major exchanges, some in response to legal threats from Wright.
-
Coinbase first delisted BSV in 2019 after the blockchain suffered a 51% attack, making it unstable.
