Low, trading at $ 380 dollars. Also, it implemented a ratio of 1 to 1 between BCH and bitcoin (BTC), something that was criticized but that was assumed by the exchange houses and portfolios that decided to take the same measure for the moment in which the forced bifurcation was realized, Allowing yours to use their private passwords from bitcoin portfolios to claim their BCH. In the case of exchange houses and centralized trading platforms, the process was simpler in that the organizations that own the private keys of their clients' portfolios, the way in which the BCH were awarded to each without Major drawbacks.
In the United States, the country that bitcoin trading volume is quite high a global level, only the top five exchange houses and trading platforms of the country accept BCH. Bitfinex and Kraken approve the new cryptoactive, while Bitstamp, GDAX and Gemini have no plans to list a BCH. In Europe, HitBTC enabled the exchange between BCH and other cryptoactives such as BTC and ETH, even before the aforementioned bifurcation.
In the case of China, all the exchange houses decided to adopt Bitcoin money, starting with the main ones: OkCoin, Huobi and BTCC. Continuing on the Asian continent, Bithumb, responsible for 57% of total transactions in bitcoin in South Korea, like Korbit, supported Bitcoin money, only if this becomes an attractive currency for its customers; So do not be in a special treatment for this cryptoactive by getting rid of the original Bitcoin network.
