What’s new? The Ordinals Market, in collaboration with the developers of the MiladyNFT collection, has announced the launch of the BRC-721E standard, as well as a bridge for moving non-fungible tokens from the Ethereum blockchain to the bitcoin network. The bridge allows users to convert ERC-721 standard assets into Ordinals, while automatically placing collections on the marketplace. The new standard encodes data directly into a transaction that assigns an address to receive an NFT and dynamically collects all metadata. The mechanism can also be used to perform airdrops.

The BRC-20 standard and the Ordinals protocol allow Bitcoin-based fungible and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to be issued. With Ordinals, launched in early 2023, one can tie data/digital assets/NFTs to satoshi, the smallest fractional part of BTC (0,00000001 part of the coin). Bitcoin-NFTs are also called inscriptions.

What happened before? On May 18, the daily trading volume of the Bitcoin Frogs NFT collection on the Bitcoin network amounted to $2,23 million, with more than 600 transactions made with the assets.

Later, former MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor noted that the first instances of the BRC-20 standard could be seen as the issuance of unregistered securities. In this, he assessed Ordinals as a positive phenomenon on the Bitcoin network.
