Bitcoin forks struggle for exchange listings; former Ripple CTO says security is key
Former Ripple CTO David Schwartz said major cryptocurrency exchanges may hesitate to list bitcoin-based assets split into new chains because of security and design risks. He pointed to the need for safeguards such as replay protection to prevent transactions from being duplicated across chains that share pre-split history. The discussion was sparked by questions about why platforms supported older bitcoin forks but not Bitcoin BLAKE2b, which uses a different mining algorithm.
