Competition in the Inscriptions Market
Notably, Binance faces competition in the inscriptions market, with rival exchange OKX recently announcing the integration of inscription token standards. OKX's marketplace positions itself as the industry's largest inscription marketplace, offering zero-fee trading across various token standards.
The rise of inscriptions and BRC-20 tokens has sparked debates about their utility on the blockchain. Advocates highlight the increase in transaction fees, while some remain in opposition. Binance's research arm has released a report showcasing the benefits of inscriptions to the network in 2023, indicating signs of growth.
Impact of Inscriptions on Bitcoin Network
According to Binance's research, inscriptions, Ordinals, and BRC-20 standard tokens played a crucial role in the resurgence of networks in 2023. The three-tiered system ushered in a new era for Bitcoin, contributing to a significant price uptick amid a recovery phase from the last bear market.
Bitcoin's market dominance increased to 50.2% from 40.4%, accompanied by a 156% price growth across the year. The launch of Bitcoin Ordinals in February 2023 resulted in the minting of new tokens, driving transaction volume to new highs. However, the rollout of millions of inscriptions led to network congestion and increased transaction fees, sparking community debates.
Miners, facing financial challenges during the bear market, used Ordinals as a lifeline to navigate the tough times and prepare for the next halving.
