Bitcoin has avoided disintegration into two separate crypto-currencies.
The community of crypto currency users bitcoin activated the process of Segregated Witness (SegWit) implementation in the bitcoin protocol. Eighty percent of the miners signaled during the required period of time their desire to activate SegWit via BIP-91 (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal) - a "soft" change in the bitcoin protocol, and on July 23, almost 98 percent signaled that they already use SegWit.

Actually, because of ViaBtc there will still be a split. Bitcoin Cash will happen (same bitcoin but with an 8mb size and no SegWit), make sure you pull your bitcoins off any exchanges and transfer them to your hardwallet or exodus before August 1st.
