According to Odaily, Bitcoin developers plan two fork events in 2026. Developer Paul Sztorc intends to launch eCash as a hard fork, projected to activate around block height 964,000 in late August. Additionally, the controversial BIP-110 soft fork proposal may cause unintended chain split during its August signaling window. Bitcoin chain splits would duplicate the UTXO set, allowing holders to receive 1:1 assets on both ledgers. Self-custodied holders controlling private keys at snapshot time can typically sign transactions on either chain, while exchange-held positions depend on platform policy.
