BCH's move can't be compared with Bitcoin's yet; the figures below describe the move, not its cause. This is BCH's largest 24-hour rise in 29 days. No BCH report was collected from the day before to the day after; the cause is unresolved.
A CME announcement about adding Bitcoin Cash futures is a possible catalyst, but the evidence does not establish that it caused the rise. Derivatives activity may have amplified the move, though its direction is unclear.
CME’s announcement about expanding its cryptocurrency futures suite, including Bitcoin Cash, was published Oct 27, 16:51 UTC. It could have improved expectations for access to BCH futures and supported buying.
The report does not show when trading would begin or establish that the announcement preceded the move’s onset or prompted buying.
Weaker possibilities: In the measured window Oct 27, 01:00–Oct 28, 01:00 UTC, open interest rose and buyer-initiated share edged above its prior-window level. (OKX perpetual swap: open interest, OKX perpetual swap: taker buy/sell volume)
The move’s onset is not established, so it is unknown whether the announcement preceded the rise or whether derivatives positioning reinforced it.
