Bitcoin ordinal numbers dominate trends
Bitcoin Ordinals emerged as the best-selling NFT collection this past week. It is a Bitcoin blockchain-based, non-fungible token marketplace, designed using the ordinal concept of Satoshi Nakamoto (the anonymous BTC creator).
Bitcoin Ordinals’ $24 million sales volume represented a 196% increase in seven days. The collection is likely to benefit from the ongoing BTC-induced market recovery. The leading cryptocurrency reflects stable momentum after crossing the sought-after $60,000 mark.
