At the time of writing this article the BCU tokens were trading around $190.
How will the market react to BCU ? The implications of this question will undoubtedly have a major influence on the hard fork debate.

At the moment of the split, every Bitcoin holder would “receive” and equal amount of Bitcoin Unlimited.
