What the network looked like that week
The May 2026 upgrade was already in force
The most recent consensus change before this week was scheduled for 15 May 2026. Under the official specification, the new rules apply on mainnet once the median time past of the latest 11 blocks reaches UNIX timestamp 1778846400 (15 May 2026, 12:00:00 UTC). The upgrade includes four Cash Improvement Proposals (CHIPs):
- CHIP-2024-12 P2S: Pay to Script
- CHIP-2021-05-loops: Bounded Looping Operations
- CHIP-2025-05 Functions: Function Definition and Invocation Operations
- CHIP-2025-05 Bitwise: Re-Enable Bitwise Operations
Bitcoin Cash Node implemented these rules in v29.0.0, announced on 9 January 2026. The project called updating before 15 May 2026 "mandatory" and said v28.x would expire on that date. It released v29.1.0, a minor version with RPC and REST API improvements, bug fixes and performance work, on 29 July 2026. Its site recommends v29.2.0 or later.
What this means for readers
- A weekly gain can reverse quickly. The 4.8% rise to 8 September was followed by a 13.7% fall over the next seven days.
- Prices differ by time of day and by data provider. An afternoon snapshot on 8 September can sit several dollars away from the $258.88 recorded at 00:00 UTC, so check which timestamp each source uses before comparing them.
- Node operators should run software that matches current consensus rules. The node team advises v29.2.0 or later.
All prices are single daily snapshots from one aggregator, so they do not show the intraday range. This is not investment advice.
