OKX Brings “Bitcoin Ordinals” to Wallet and NFT Marketplace

[ad_1]

Crypto exchange OKX brings Bitcoin Ordinals to the OKX Wallet and OKX NFT Marketplace, becoming the first multi-chain platform for viewing and transferring Bitcoin Ordinals. Bitcoin NFTs or Bitcoin ordinals are digital assets listed on Satoshi, the smallest denomination of a Bitcoin.

Bitcoin ordinals have taken the crypto world by storm, reviving the NFT market and bitcoin miners from the bear market financial crisis. Bitcoin Ordinals was launched this year following the 2021 Taproot Bitcoin protocol upgrade to enable unique digital signature on Bitcoin.

OKX introduces Bitcoin ordinals to platforms

The second-largest crypto exchange by trading volume, OKX has upgraded its OKX wallet and NFT marketplace, allowing users to view and transfer Bitcoin (BTC) ordinals across the platforms.

With the integration of Bitcoin Ordinals, OKX became the first multi-chain platform to support this capability. OKX Wallet now supports BTC taproot addresses on the browser extension, with a mobile version coming soon. Customers can import their BTC wallets and view their Bitcoin ordinals through a single wallet, unlike managing separately through a Bitcoin-only wallet.

We had to act quickly to welcome the Ordinal community and give them an easy way to store, manage, and soon create Ordinals in our wallet services. I hope this integration will help get more people to play with this new utility and discover new possibilities besides Bitcoin, said Haider Rafique, Marketing Director of OKX.

The development follows the launch of BitcoinPunks NFT on OKX NFT Marketplace last month. OKX allowed users to buy ordinals with ETH.

Interestingly, the OKX NFT marketplace will soon allow its users to mint and trade ordinals on its platform. It will allow users to create, buy and sell ordinals more cheaply and easily.
