Bitcoin fork ECX created... wallet and exchange support are separate

Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
eCash (ECX) launched its mainnet on October 29, 2026, forking from Bitcoin at block 973,728, with the new asset created on a separate chain in amounts matching BTC balances at the last common block, 973,727. The fork is a 1:1 coin-count distribution, meaning quantities are equal but prices and exchange support are not guaranteed to match Bitcoin's. ECX must also be distinguished from the similarly named existing eCash token (XEC), which Upbit Data Lab and Coinone list under the XEC ticker. Korean exchanges have not yet confirmed whether they will distribute or support trading of the new asset. Users who self-custody private keys can access their new balances through wallets that support the eCash network. What to watch next is exchange distribution and listing announcements for ECX, which will determine whether holders can actually trade the forked tokens.
