Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has surged by more than 37% in the past seven days ahead of its upcoming halving event.

Bitcoin Cash’s halving date is currently slated for April 3rd, according to the hash rate marketplace NiceHash. BCH’s halvings occur every four years, at intervals of 210,000 blocks, and on April 3rd, Bitcoin Cash’s current block reward of 6.25 BCH will be slashed to 3.125 BCH.
