CEX.IO on Bitcoin Gold and SegWit2x
As SegWit2x approaches, we want to update you about the future changes and their impact on your operations on CEX.IO.
We always aim to provide our clients with convenient and secure service under the conditions of the highly changing market. And we will do our best to keep all operations on our platform running.
Bitcoin Gold (BTG)
As the Bitcoin Gold fork took place, we would like to inform you that you have received the new coins in an amount equal to the BTC on your balances at the moment of the hard fork.
The full node client is still not released by the development team of Bitcoin Gold, so we are waiting for it to check its security and ensure the safety of transactions. As soon as the BTG client will pass the tests for security, we will add the following pairs:
- BTG/BTC
- BTG/USD
- BTG/EUR
- BTG/GBP
The deposits and withdrawals of BTG will be enabled later.
Bitcoin SegWit2X (B2X)
After SegWit2X fork, we will split the coins and add the following pairs:
- B2X/BTC
- B2X/USD
- B2X/EUR
- B2X/GBP
Our users will receive new coins, and you will be additionally informed about the proportion. Deposits and withdrawals of B2X will be available later. And it is possible that we will stop withdrawal and deposit operations with BTC until we make sure they are secure.
In any case, do not worry because of the changes Bitcoin is overcoming. Whatever happens, we are going to act in the best interest of our clients, so don't hesitate to use CEX.IO for your benefit.
