XAU/BCH: what to know
The XAU/BCH rate shows how much BCH you get for 1 XAU. Right now, 1 XAU buys 19.3490 BCH at the mid-market rate. In the other direction, 1 BCH is worth 0.0517 XAU.
In the short term XAU is driven mainly by real interest rates, the dollar and safe-haven demand, while BCH responds to crypto-market sentiment.
The code “XAU” combines “X” (supranational) with gold’s chemical symbol Au. Bitcoin Cash split from Bitcoin in 2017 to enable cheaper, faster transactions.
Because this pair involves a cryptocurrency, expect much higher volatility than typical fiat pairs. Use this mid-market figure as your benchmark: compare it with the rate your bank or broker quotes, and the difference is the margin you would pay.
