Supply release: when does the rest arrive?
96% issued · minedThe remaining 4.4% is released by mining on a schedule fixed in the protocol.
New BCH enters circulation as a block reward that steps down on a schedule written into the consensus rules — no company controls it, and nobody can bring it forward or hold it back. Because it is enforced in code rather than by an issuer, the remaining supply arrives gradually over decades rather than in unlock events.

About Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin Cash split from Bitcoin in 2017 over a dispute about block sizes, prioritising cheap on-chain payments over Bitcoin's conservatism. It shares Bitcoin's fixed-supply design but commands a small fraction of its value and security.
Launched by a group of developers and miners who split from Bitcoin over block size (2017) — a hard fork, so it has no single inventor.
