but what is ORDI and BRC20? BRC20 is an experimental token standard that enables the minting and transferring of fungible tokens via the Ordinals protocol on the Bitcoin blockchain
after the Bitcoin Ordinals protocol launched in January 2023, enabling NFTs to be inscribed on satoshis , there has been curiosity about whether fungible tokens could be created on Bitcoin. BRC20 token standards were created in March 2023 by a pseudonymous programmer named Domo to make minting fungible tokens on Bitcoin possible.
The first BRC20 token deployed was called Ordi. Bitcoin wallets quickly deployed tooling to support BRC20 tokens. Numerous other BRC-20 tokens, many of which are meme tokens, were launched in the months after. As of May 2023, some BRC20 tokens have experienced astronomical price increases and obtained significant market caps, the demand for BRC20 tokens caused Bitcoin transaction fees to surge and caused significant congestion on the Bitcoin network. you probably think but we already had Erc20 so what the...well BRC20 tokens exist on the Bitcoin network, while ERC20 is a standard on the Ethereum network. BRC20 tokens don't use smart contracts and, therefore, have much less functionality. On the contrary, ERC20 tokens can interact with other protocols and applications to enable a wide range of services, including borrowing and lending.
ERC20 is a mature token standard with a massive number of ERC20 tokens already created and widely used. Conceived in 2015 and officially recognized in 2017, ERC20 tokens have been battle tested and proven to function stably. That's not the case with BRC20 tokens, whose future has a high degree of uncertainty, despite the hype, BRC-20 tokens have little utility at present
now lets see why Ordi just pumped, OKX just announced the listing of ORDI, and will open deposits at 18:00 on the 20th, and open spot transactions after the deposit amount meets the transaction requirements. ORDI is the first BRC20 asset, with a total of 21 million. Affected by this announcement, its price rose by more than 24% in 1 hour. The current price is around $15, and its market value is $313 million now
Ordi can hit 15.5 , 16 and 16.5 for now
