Ending support for Bitcoin Cash SV (BSV) in the Blockchain Wallet

We’re invested in the long-term health of the crypto ecosystem and are mindful to support cryptocurrencies that are reliable, safe, and convenient. Since January we’ve offered limited support for Bitcoin Cash SV (BSV) and have been closely monitoring activity of the BSV network since the hard fork in November. After careful consideration, we have determined to end all support of BSV within the Blockchain Wallet by May 15, 2019. 

If you have BSV, we recommend simply swapping it for another crypto in the Blockchain Wallet or sending your tokens to another service. To access your BSV tokens, log into your wallet through any web browser and select the Settings option on the bottom left, then Wallets & Addresses. On mobile? You can log into your Web Wallet by logging into the Blockchain app and clicking 'Log in to Web Wallet' in the side navigation.

Adding Limited support for Bitcoin Cash SV (BSV)

The main outcome of the fork was the splitting of the Bitcoin Cash chain into two chains, and therefore two tokens - Bitcoin Cash ABC and Bitcoin SV.  This means that anyone that held 1 BCH before the fork would end up with 2 tokens after the fork - 1 BCH (ABC) and 1 BSV.   Last month, we implemented a coin-splitting solution that allowed us to safely resume Bitcoin Cash services in the Wallet, with BCH representing Bitcoin Cash ABC.  This coin-splitting solution preserved users' balances on the Bitcoin SV chain.

We have been tracking Bitcoin SV chain closely and will now offer limited, close out transaction support for Bitcoin SV (BSV). You will be able to view your balance, exchange BSV for BTC, BCH, ETH, and XLM through Swap, and send BSV to any address. We do not have plans to enable full BSV functionality at this time.

To access BSV services and your BSV tokens, log into your wallet through any web browser and select the Settings option on the bottom left, then Wallets & Addresses. On mobile? You can log into your Web Wallet by logging into the Blockchain app and clicking 'Log in to Web Wallet' in the side navigation.

We will continue to monitor activity of BSV to determine how long we will maintain limited support and we’ll make sure to keep you updated on any service changes! Have questions? Feel free to reach out to our Social team and support team for help.
