How To Claim Bitcoin Cash BCH From Trezor, KeepKey & Ledger Wallets
This is a step-by-step tutorial meant for those using hardware wallets who may have passed up on claiming their Bitcoin Cash(BCH) and are wondering if you would be able to claim it now that BCH is turning a few heads.
First and foremost, you can only claim BCH from a wallet which held Bitcoin(BTC) before the August 1 hard fork. Even if you had sent BTC from the wallet since, you would not have lost your BCH due to BCH implementing a replay protection.
