Bitcoin Cash is a separate coin. Your next collectible should be a deliberate choice too.

When the live Polkastarter deposit screen supports BCH, it can fund real trading cards and physical videogames. Every Lootbox lists its contents, values, and chances before you open, so the product decision starts with information rather than a hidden promise.

Key Takeaways

BCH is Bitcoin Cash, not BTC, so a Bitcoin-only deposit route is not a substitute for BCH support.
Polkastarter packs start at $0.10, with a free mystery pack available at signup.
Every listing shows its contents, values, and chances before you open.
Check the asset and network on the live deposit screen, then start with a small test transfer.

Bitcoin Cash and BCH in Two Minutes

Bitcoin Cash became a separate chain on August 1, 2017, following a split from Bitcoin. Its project website describes a peer-to-peer payment focus and a protocol supply limit of 21 million BCH. The shared history does not make BCH and BTC the same asset. At a deposit screen, their different tickers are a practical safety boundary.

On September 5, 2026, CoinGecko recorded BCH around $252.62, with a market cap of approximately $5.07 billion and rank #21. About 20.085 million BCH were circulating, with total supply at a similar level. Its tracked all-time high was $3,785.82 on December 19, 2017. The BCH market tracker updates continuously. A dated price in a blog cannot replace the amount shown at checkout.

How to Spend BCH on Polkastarter

Try the free pack first. Create an account and learn the reveal, fulfillment, and displayed sell-back flow before moving tokens. Our free mystery pack guide explains the starting point.
Check the live deposit screen. Choose BCH, not BTC. If the screen offers Bitcoin but not Bitcoin Cash, do not send BCH to that address. If the token is not listed, do not send it.
Send a small test amount. Match the address and network, wait for the credited balance, and never share your seed phrase or recovery words.
Choose with a dollar limit already set. Compare the price, contents, values, and chances. The actual credited balance, not a saved calculator estimate, determines what you can buy.

Five Physical Uses for BCH

1. Ten-cent entry packs. Gumball Machine is the smallest paid tier, useful for trying the purchase path without setting a large budget.

2. One-dollar card packs. Charmander Farm offers another low-price opening. Read the current listing before assuming which cards it contains.

3. Two-dollar card packs. Eevee Corner adds a different entry-level option. The card-pack buying guide explains how to compare the product details.

4. Premium collectible boxes. Higher-priced Lootboxes can contain graded cards and recognized chase items. A familiar character does not replace checking the actual contents and chances.

5. Physical videogames. Boxed and cartridge games provide another route from a supported balance to a collectible that can be shipped home. Check the listing and delivery conditions before choosing.

A 21-Million Cap Does Not Mean Buying a Whole Coin

Bitcoin Cash's 21-million supply limit is a protocol fact, not a reason to stretch a hobby budget. You do not need to buy or spend an entire BCH to make a small purchase. The calculator accepts fractional amounts so the spending decision can start with dollars rather than the psychological weight of a whole coin.

At the snapshot used here, 0.1 BCH was approximately $25.26 before fees or conversion differences. That is an illustration of the units, not a suggested deposit amount. A different price produces a different result, and the receiving platform's credited balance remains the number to use.

A purchase can also be simpler than a prediction. You might like a particular card, enjoy opening one low-cost pack, or prefer to leave the balance untouched. None of those choices needs a story about the next market cycle. Confirm the route, set the limit, and compare what is actually inside the box. Our pack buying guide walks through the product side of that decision.

You can spend BCH only when the Polkastarter balance screen lists a live supported route. Confirm the asset, route, and network on screen, then send a small test amount first.

What is BCH used for?

BCH is the native coin of Bitcoin Cash, a peer-to-peer payment network that became a separate chain from Bitcoin in August 2017.

What can BCH buy on the marketplace?

When BCH support is live, it can fund Lootboxes containing real trading cards and physical videogames. Packs start at $0.10, with contents, values, and chances shown before opening.

Can I send BCH to a BTC-only deposit route?

No. Do not treat a BTC-only route as support for BCH. Find an explicitly supported Bitcoin Cash route and follow the receiving platform's exact instructions.

Is spending BCH better than holding it?
