Coinbase Discontinues Bitcoin SV Trading After Massive 51% Attack
Following a massive 51% attack on BSV on Tuesday, Coinbase has stopped all BSV trading on the crypto exchange platform.
This attack is supposedly the largest since the cryptocurrency was launched, with reorganization 14 blocks deep.
This attack may not be the first attempt at reorganizing BSV, as the Bitcoin Association believes that this same attacker has attempted 51% attacks at BSV four times before now.
The Bitcoin fork has suffered some significant setbacks as Gravity recently de-listed the it. Also, BSV trading has been discontinued by Binance and Gemini as a result of some other issues.
If this trend continues unabated, a massive devaluation of the coin is imminent.
