As per data from CoinMarketCap, the ORDI token surged significantly on Christmas. When writing, the token was trading at $69.28, with an intraday surge of 9.33%.
However, it is crucial to note that the 24-hour trading volume of ORDI grew by 195.52%, and analysts believe that the surge will be fueled by the sudden growth of buyers rather than sellers.
The token’s market capitalization showed an improvement as a 9.11% rise was seen in the market cap. The archived data of December 25, 2023, shows that over 131% more ORDI tokens were traded on the celebrated Christmas festival.
Other than the ORDI token, the pioneer of the crypto industry, Bitcoin, crossed the $44k milestone this month, and when writing, it was trading at $42,605. In the monthly time frame, a growth of 13.07% was observed in BTC’s trading price.
ORDI Explained
The Bitcoin Request for Comment (BRC-20) token standard, created by anonymous developer Domo, is the foundation for ORDI.
By enabling users to create and trade tokens on the most significant blockchain in cryptocurrency, similar to ERC-20 coins on Ethereum (ETH) and a defi ecosystem, the objective is to enable transferable assets on the BTC network.
One of the earliest Bitcoin inscriptions is thought to have been made by Casey Rodarmor, who also founded the Ordinals Protocol and its native asset.
Since its inception in the first half of 2023, the project has developed into a crypto asset valued at billions of dollars.
