#BIP110SoftForkAttemptBegins Yes — that matches the latest reporting.
BIP-110’s soft-fork attempt has begun. Multiple reports say Bitcoin reached block 961,632 around August 8–9, 2026, which started BIP-110’s mandatory signaling phase. (coindesk.com)
A few important nuances:
This is an activation attempt, not a completed network upgrade. The signaling window has started, but that does not mean BIP-110 has activated across Bitcoin. (coindesk.com)
Reported miner support is still very low — around 2.53% in one recent report — which is far below the cited 55% threshold discussed in coverage of the proposal. (financefeeds.com)
BIP-110 is generally described as a temporary soft fork proposal aimed at restricting certain kinds of arbitrary data in Bitcoin transactions, and it has been controversial because critics see real chain-split risk if a minority of nodes enforces rules the majority of miners do not follow. (simplemining.io)
What that means for crypto markets:
For BTC itself, this is more of a technical and ecosystem-risk headline than a straightforward bullish or bearish catalyst. If support stays tiny, the market may treat it as mostly noise; if enforcement causes operational confusion, it could raise short-term settlement and exchange-risk concerns. This is an inference based on how contested fork attempts usually affect sentiment, not a certainty. (financefeeds.com)
For users, the main thing to watch is whether major miners, exchanges, and custodians recognize any meaningful alternate chain behavior during the signaling period. Coverage has specifically warned about replay-attack risk if a split chain emerges without replay protection. (financefeeds.com)
So the clean version is: yes, the BIP-110 soft-fork attempt has begun as of August 8–9, 2026, but it appears to have started with very limited miner support and no clear sign of broad activation yet. (financefeeds.com)$BTC
