The Bitcoin Cash price (BCH/USD) has surpassed $4,000, as BCH trading on Coinbase’s GDAX exchange has been resumed.

“The BCH-EUR and BCH-BTC books will now enter cancel-only mode and resting orders will be cleared. No new orders will be accepted while in cancel-only mode,” the update reads. “At 7:00am PST on 12/21/17, the BCH-EUR and BCH-BTC books will enter post-only mode for a minimum of one hour to allow liquidity to be established. If sufficient liquidity is established trading may then be enabled for one or both books.”
