 <p>In an email letter to its customers, Coinbase said it will stop <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="supporting" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/supporting.html">supporting</a> BSV on Jan. 9, 2024, at or around 12 p.m. ET. The U.S.-based trading platform added those who fail to withdraw their BSV coins until the deadline will be liquidated.</p>

  <p>“Upon liquidation, your BSV will be converted to the then-equivalent market value of another <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="support" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/support.html">support</a>ed digital asset and credited back to your account, minus any transaction costs.”</p> <cite>Coinbase</cite>

 <p>The company noted those who would not withdraw BSV from the platform might not get any compensation due to market fluctuations and transaction costs. Coinbase stopped all trading activities with BSV following a 51% attack against the network in early August 2021.</p>
 <p>That attack was the fifth one on Bitcoin SV since the end of June 2021 and resulted in three versions of the chain’s simultaneous mining. Besides Coinbase, BSV is available for trading on other centralized exchanges, such as OKX or KuCoin, but with no <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="support" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/support.html">support</a> for the U.S. dollar.</p>
 <p>A 51% refers to malicious attacks on a blockchain where a group of miners gains control of more than 50% of the hash power, otherwise known as the hash rate. According to data from Crypto51, one one-hour attack against the Bitcoin network would cost around $1.3 million.</p>
