Bitcoin's ECX hard fork is set to launch new ecash coins on Oct. 31, 2026, according to Pluang. The distribution is described as taking place on a 1:1 basis for Bitcoin holders.

A hard fork is a change to a blockchain network's rules that can result in a split from the existing chain and the creation of a separate asset. In this case, the announced fork is associated with ECX and new ecash coins rather than a change to Bitcoin's existing supply.

The announcement indicates that Bitcoin holders will be the basis for the new coin allocation. It does not change the role of BTC as Bitcoin's native asset, while the ECX-related ecash coins would be a distinct asset created through the fork.

Fork events can draw attention because they may require holders, exchanges, wallet providers and other service operators to determine how they will handle support for the new chain and any resulting coins. Pluang originally reported the planned Oct. 31, 2026 launch date.
