Key Takeaways
Bitcoin (BTC) spin-off eCash rose in 2023 but performed worse than the market average.
The crypto’s supporters will be hoping that it can improve its performance.
Meanwhile, investors in a series of cryptos delisted by Binance will be watching how XEC performed after it was delisted by Bitfinex in November last year.
Although the price of XEC has been on an upturn recently, it remains outside the top 100 cryptos by market cap.
On Dec. 9, 2024, eCash was worth approximately $0.00004995.
Let’s look at our eCash price predictions from Dec. 9, 2024. We’ll also look at the eCash price history and explain a little about what XEC is and what it does.
Here are our eCash price predictions, made on Dec. 9 2024. Although we take the utmost care with our price forecasts, we do need to remind you that price predictions, especially for something as potentially volatile as cryptocurrency, very often end up being wrong.
Minimum eCash Price Prediction | Average eCash Price Prediction | Maximum eCash Price Prediction | |
---|---|---|---|
2025 | $0.000035 | $0.00007 | $0.00012 |
2026 | $0.000045 | $0.000095 | $0.00018 |
2030 | $0.00008 | $0.0002 | $0.00045 |
As adoption increases, the 2025 price predictions for XEC account for gradual recovery and growth within the cryptocurrency market. If the bullish Elliott Wave structure continues to play out and key support levels hold, XEC could achieve an average price of $0.00007, with a potential peak of $0.00012 under favorable market conditions. However, bearish scenarios driven by macroeconomic factors or lack of adoption could see XEC revisiting the $0.000035 level.
By 2026, eCash could benefit from improved scalability, adoption of blockchain technology, and a broader market uptrend following Bitcoin’s halving. The average price of $0.000095 reflects moderate growth as XEC consolidates its position in the market, while a bullish wave cycle could push it to $0.00018. Conversely, a failure to gain traction or a bearish market shift could suppress the price to a minimum of $0.000045.
Long-term predictions for 2030 assume that eCash sustains its development efforts and expands its use cases, contributing to the cryptocurrency’s mainstream adoption. With broader crypto market growth, XEC could average $0.0002 and peak at $0.00045 during major market cycles or increased utility. On the downside, market saturation or stagnation could limit growth, bringing the price to a minimum of $0.00008.
The daily eCash (XEC) chart shows a breakout from prolonged consolidation, followed by an impulsive rally peaking near $0.000060.
This move marks the completion of wave three in the Elliott Wave sequence. The subsequent 17% pullback indicates the onset of wave four, as the RSI retreats from overbought levels.
Despite this correction, the bullish structure remains intact
Key Fibonacci retracement levels are now in focus, with the 0.236 Fibonacci level at $0.000042 likely to serve as strong support. If this level holds, wave five could resume, targeting resistance at $0.000068 and higher.
On the hourly chart, XEC appears to be in wave four, with the recent drop to $0.0000486 breaking below an ascending trendline. This move likely represents the first sub-wave of an ABC correction. The critical support at $0.000042, aligning with the 0.236 Fibonacci level and previous consolidation, is pivotal.
A short-term bounce (B wave) may retest the broken trendline, but rejection could trigger another dip to $0.000042. Failure to hold this level would invalidate the bullish outlook, as wave four cannot overlap with wave one under Elliott Wave rules. If support holds, wave five could propel prices higher. The eCash price prediction for the next 24 hours depends on whether the support can hold.
The Average True Range (ATR) measures market volatility by averaging the largest of three values: the current high minus the current low, the absolute value of the current high minus the previous close, and the absolute value of the current low minus the previous close over a period, typically 14 days.
A rising ATR indicates increasing volatility, while a falling ATR indicates decreasing volatility. Since ATR values can be higher for higher-priced assets, normalize ATR by dividing it by the asset price to compare volatility across different price levels.
On Dec. 9, 2024, eCash’s ATR was 0.00000455, suggesting relatively high volatility.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator traders use to determine whether an asset is overbought or oversold. Movements above 70 and below 30 show over and undervaluation, respectively. Movements above and below the 50 line also indicate if the trend is bullish or bearish.
On Dec. 9, 2024, the eCash RSI was at 52, indicating very slightly bullish conditions.
XEC is one of many cryptos that evolved from Bitcoin, so let’s compare it to BTC and some of its more notable spinoffs.
Current Price | One Year Ago | Price Change | |

The CCN Strength Index combines an array of advanced market signals to measure the strength of individual cryptocurrencies over the last 30 days.
Every day, it assigns a strength score, ranging from 0 to 100, to the top 500 assets by market capitalization on CoinMarketCap, focusing on both trend direction and the intensity of price movements.
The index dynamically adapts to rapid changes. For example, an asset experiencing a 100% increase within a short timeframe would see a sharp jump in its score to reflect the intensity of the rise.
However, should that asset stabilize at this new price level, the score will gradually taper down and align with the dampened momentum as the movement normalizes. The same principle applies to rapid declines: a sudden drop will spike the score downward, but as volatility decreases, the score will slowly adjust back up.
On Dec. 9, 2024, eCash scored 65.9 on the CCN Index, suggesting momentum strong enough to cause a trend shift.
Let’s now examine some key dates in the eCash price history . While past performance should never be taken as an indicator of future results, knowing what the coin has done can give us some very useful context when making or interpreting an eCash price prediction.

The market capitalization, or market cap, is the sum of the total number of BTC in circulation multiplied by its price.
On Dec. 9, 2024, eCash’s market cap was $988 million, making it the 116th-largest crypto by that metric.
Supply and distribution | Figures |

In its technical documentation or whitepaper , eCash says that it “utilizes the Avalanche consensus protocol to provide faster and more reliable transactions. This protocol allows for quick finality and low-latency confirmation times, addressing the scalability issues faced by Bitcoin.”
The eCash blockchain, not to be confused with Ecash, the proto-crypto created by scientist David Chaum in 1983, is a spin-off from the Bitcoin Cash blockchain, which was itself the result of a split from Bitcoin.
The coin, which goes by the ticker handle XEC, aims to serve as an alternative currency. This makes it similar to the likes of BTC and BCH. The platform was originally known as Bitcoin Cash ABC, but rebranded in 2021 to differentiate itself from BCH.
The eCash network is a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain. People are chosen to verify transactions and add blocks to the blockchain-based on how much XEC they hold. This makes it somewhat different from Bitcoin and many of its spin-offs, which use the Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism.
eCash uses a form of PoS called Avalanche, which is not the Avalanche (AVAX) blockchain. Instead, it helps the platform cope with increased traffic levels.
Again, like cryptos like Bitcoin and BCH, XEC is designed as a method of exchange. It can be bought, sold, and traded on exchanges.
It is hard to say. The price spiked in late June and early July 2023. While this led to a sustainable price level, it disappeared when the market fell in August. Its recent performance has been encouraging, but we don’t know how long it will last.
A coin based on Bitcoin but using PoS to secure its blockchain is intriguing, but eCash has issues.
Firstly, it does not appear to have a whitepaper. This technical document explains how eCash works or precisely what it does. While some information is available on the blockchain’s website, the lack of a precise technical document could put potential investors off.
Secondly, although eCash’s low value is designed to make it easier to send large sums internationally, those who may not as au fait with how cryptos work could consider it worth fractions of a cent and decide to take their money elsewhere, limiting its future growth.
Nevertheless, eCash has shown some potential over the years it has been operating. Its recent good form could draw people to it, eventually establishing a user base that gives it more real-world utility.
As always with crypto, you should do your own research before deciding whether or not to invest in XEC.
No one can really tell right now. While the eCash crypto price predictions are largely positive, price predictions have a well-earned reputation for being wrong. Keep in mind that prices can and do go down and up.
Before you decide whether or not to invest in eCash, you will have to do your own research, not only on XEC but also on related coins and tokens such as Bitcoin Cash (BCH) or Bitcoin SV (BSV). You must also ensure you never invest more money than you can afford to lose.
