  At BYDFi, we've observed that splits in cryptocurrencies can have a significant impact on the market. When a hard fork occurs, it can create uncertainty and confusion among investors, as they need to decide whether to hold onto the original cryptocurrency or switch to the new one. This can result in increased selling pressure on the original cryptocurrency, leading to a temporary decrease in its price. However, it's worth noting that not all splits have the same impact. Some hard forks, such as the one that created Bitcoin Cash, have resulted in the creation of a new cryptocurrency with a significant market value. In these cases, the price of the original cryptocurrency may experience a more substantial decline, as investors shift their focus to the new and potentially more promising cryptocurrency.
