ECX Bitcoin fork on October 30: what investors need to know before the snapshot

The documented position: anyone holding their own bitcoin keys at the end of October will be credited the coin from the ECX split without having to do anything. Anyone whose bitcoin sits at an exchange will receive it only if that firm supports the fork and passes the credit on to its customers. The cut-off is not a calendar date but a fixed counter in the Bitcoin blockchain: block height 973,728. By our calculation that falls on October 30, 2026; the project's own roadmap names October 31. Your Bitcoin is neither moved, locked nor altered in the process.
