When Bitcoin Cash (BCH) was introduced, it initially adopted the same address format as Bitcoin. To simplify matters, developers of BCH later introduced a unique format called CashAddr for BCH addresses. However, each BCH address still retains a corresponding "legacy address," which is its equivalent Bitcoin address.
It's important to note that most wallets only display the CashAddr format. Therefore, if you wish to withdraw your BCH funds, you will need to use a valid CashAddr or convert your BCH legacy format to the BCH CashAddr format. This conversion enables compatibility with platforms and services that require the use of the legacy format for BCH addresses.
