Following this hard fork , BCHABC - whose updated client activated the features of Bitcoin Cash's official roadmap - seemed to have taken a significant lead. Nearly 3/4 of the nodes used ABC software , while only 8% opted for SV software . On the price side, BCHABC also held the rope. Its futures ( Bitcoin Cash ABC Fork ) traded on Thursday night to $ 316 , up 25% over the last 24 hours. At the same time, the price of BCHSV was only $ 79, and the asset had depreciated by 54%
