BCH/BTC on GDAX

GDAX Will Open the Bitcoin Cash/BTC Order Book on WednesdayGDAX exchange, a subsidiary of San Francisco-headquartered Coinbase, has announced that it will open its BCH/BTC order book on Wednesday January 17 at 9:00 AM Pacific Standard Time (PST). Besides pitting the two cryptocurrencies  against each other in a way that allows speculating on the stronger instrument, it will also create a way to acquire BCH for GDAX users who otherwise couldn’t buy it (such as Europeans as the venue doesn’t currently offer a BCH/EUR pair).

Last month Coinbase was forced to halt bitcoin cash trading on both platforms soon after it started, botching the launch. Besides operational problems like an inability to handle all the traffic to specific BCH liquidity issues, the company was also accused by many clients of enabling insider trading. Last week the general manager GDAX Adam White tried to answer these concerns in his retrospective on the controversial launch.

‘Limit-Only’ Mode

GDAX Will Open the Bitcoin Cash/BTC Order Book on WednesdayGDAX is also introducing a new market state called ‘limit-only’. In this state, customers will only have the ability to place limit orders and cannot place market orders. They say that this is meant to ensure traders have full control of the fill price by only allowing orders with an explicitly set limit. The company specified that the BCH/BTC market will open in ‘post-only’ mode for a minimum of thirty minutes before entering ‘limit-only’ mode followed by ‘full trading’ mode.

The GDAX team explains that: “The decision to move a market from ‘post-only’ to ‘limit-only’ to ‘full trading’ mode is made at the discretion of our Market Operations team. When making this decision we consider factors such as order book liquidity and price volatility.”

The trading venue will also institute new order maximums and minimums for its trading books, starting January 16.
