on-chain data
Bitcoin trading volume (weekly average) hit a record high. It surpassed December 2017, the peak of the cryptocurrency bubble.
It seems that Ordinals (Inscriptions), which exceeded the record high of 190,000 cases/day, had an impact. Inscriptions can account for about 40% share of all Bitcoin transactions.
Glassnode
With the advent of the Ordinals Protocol, it became possible to record image data in Satoshi, the smallest unit of Bitcoin, and it was recognized with the entry of major players and platforms such as Yuga Labs, DeGods, and Magic Eden around February this year. Since then, it has become frequently traded as a type of NFT (non-fungible token) on Bitcoin.
As a result, the average block size in early February jumped from 1.2MB in the previous month to more than 3MB.
The recent trend is that text-based instructions, which are lighter in data size, are proliferating rather than image-based instructions, which were popular in the early days and quickly declined.
Glassnode
In the background is an experimentally created Bitcoin Request for Comment (BRC-20) token. Interest has grown rapidly as it stores script files on the Bitcoin network and enables token transactions between users.
Unlike Ethereum (ETH)’s ERC-20 standard, smart contracts and DeFi (decentralized finance) applications will not be supported.
On the other hand, Ordinal Labs, which develops the Ordinals (Inscription) ecosystem, said on April 27, “The BRC-20 token will start in earnest, but it is a prototype using unfinished technology, and the risk is very high.” cautioned.
As for Ordinals itself, some Bitcoin maximalists have expressed skepticism that it deviates from the original purpose of Bitcoin as advocated by Satoshi Nakamoto, and that it can clog transactions.
On April 27, Grayscale posted a review of the data so far.
