Bitcoin Fork ECX Price Crashes 76% From Peak as Binance Hack Steals Spotlight

The recent $6.3 billion Binance hack and subsequent cryptocurrency market downturn largely eclipsed Drivechain creator Paul Sztorc’s ECX launch on Oct. 29, 2026. Since the start of the phased launch and subsequent trading, the forked digital asset climbed to an all-time high of $134.97 per coin before relinquishing 76% of its peak valuation, leaving it exchanging hands near $32 at press time. At 4:15 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2026, ecash (ECX) was trading just above $32 , having surrendered nearly 31% of its value over the preceding 24 hours.
