Bitcoin NFTs Are Back In Action – Ordinal Inscriptions Near 20M Mark

In the past several weeks, Bitcoin non-fungible tokens, popularly known in the nascent crypto sector as Bitcoin Ordinals, have seen a revival in activity. Bitcoin NFTs have spiked despite the recent market downturn, which has left many floor prices in massive losses.

Launched sometime this year, Bitcoin non-fungible tokens are unique digital assets built on the flagship blockchain “Bitcoin.” They combine the characteristics of Bitcoin and non-fungible tokens, creating a new form of digital ownership and collectibles within the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Since Bitcoin ordinals operate on a peer-to-peer network, they take advantage of the blockchain’s security, scalability, and robustness while incorporating the concept of non-fungible tokens. Developers have found ways to implement NFT functionality on top of the Bitcoin network by utilizing layer-two solutions like the Lightning Network.

Bitcoin ordinals have several benefits and use cases. Like other NFTs, they enable the ownership and trading of unique digital assets directly within the Bitcoin ecosystem. Before ordinals came into the spotlight, NFTs were only associated with Ethereum and other blockchain platforms.

Bitcoin Ordinals Near 20M Inscriptions Mark

Ordinals came into the spotlight in January, bringing the NFT and smart contracts narrative to the Bitcoin blockchain and spurring investor interest in tokens like STX, the native token of Bitcoin layer 2 Stacks Network. These NFTs have also suffered a downturn in the past several weeks, just like other NFTs.

But interestingly, from earlier this month, Bitcoin ordinals have seen a sharp spike, with the no of inscriptions now approaching 20 million marks. Earlier this week, the daily ordinal inscription hit 350,000. Since their inception, Bitcoin ordinals have generated more than $54 billion in revenue.
