TL;DR
Full Story
Sure, Bitcoin NFTs weren’t a thing last bull cycle…
And it makes sense that they would capture collectors’ interest this time around, seeing as Bitcoin is king of the hill (re: value)…
But we’re still impressed by the shear weight Bitcoin NFTs (aka Ordinals) are throwing around right now.
Just 2 weeks ago, the #1 NFT marketplace was Blur — and if you had’ve asked us which was #2, we would’ve guessed OpenSea.
But as of this writing, neither of them hold the top spot.
Magic Eden now sits atop the throne, having pulled in $29.19M USD worth of trades in the last 24 hrs alone.
(And it’s all thanks to the platform’s embracement of Bitcoin NFTs).
It’s a cycle we’ve seen work in ETH’s favor previously, and it goes like this:
The base asset (BTC) goes up → investors make profits → some of them put some ‘play money’ aside → Bitcoin NFTs are there to absorb those funds.
It’s all very bullish!
