Introducing the New Ordinals Marketplace
The newly launched Ordinals Marketplace brings powerful functionality directly into the OKX Wallet app, empowering users to engage with Bitcoin’s growing ecosystem like never before.
Key Features at Launch:
- View and Transfer Ordinals (Now Live)
Users can already view, verify, and transfer their Ordinal inscriptions directly within the wallet. This foundational feature ensures full visibility and control over unique digital artifacts inscribed on the Bitcoin blockchain. - Trade BRC-20 Tokens (Available This Week)
Support for buying, selling, and listing BRC-20 tokens is rolling out immediately. These tokenized assets—built using the Ordinals protocol—are gaining rapid adoption in decentralized communities, and now traders can manage them alongside other digital holdings without switching platforms. - Mint Ordinal Inscriptions and BRC-20 Tokens (Coming Soon)
In an upcoming update, users will be able to create their own inscriptions and issue BRC-20 tokens directly from the wallet. This democratizes content creation on Bitcoin, opening doors for artists, developers, and entrepreneurs. - Trade Ordinals (Buy, Sell, List – Coming Soon)
Full peer-to-peer trading capabilities for individual Ordinal NFTs will follow shortly after launch, enabling collectors and investors to participate in the growing market for rare Bitcoin-based collectibles.
Expanding Bitcoin Ecosystem Support
Beyond the marketplace itself, OKX Wallet is introducing several critical enhancements that deepen its integration with the Bitcoin network and improve user experience.
Lightning Network Integration
OKX Wallet becomes the first multichain wallet to support the Lightning Network, significantly enhancing Bitcoin transaction efficiency. By enabling off-chain micropayments, Lightning allows for:
- Near-instant transfers
- Drastically lower fees
- Scalable usage for everyday transactions
This integration aligns perfectly with Bitcoin’s original vision of becoming a peer-to-peer electronic cash system while supporting modern use cases like NFT trading and DeFi interactions.
OKX BTC Explorer Adds BRC-20 Support
The OKX BTC Explorer (powered by OKLink) now supports BRC-20 token tracking, making it the first multichain blockchain explorer to offer real-time validation of BRC-20 transactions. Users can independently verify token issuance, transfers, and balances—ensuring transparency and trust in a rapidly evolving ecosystem.

Staking Support for Layer-2 Innovations
To further support innovation on Bitcoin’s expanding infrastructure, OKX Wallet now enables staking for:
- $STX (Stacks): A leading Bitcoin Layer-2 network that enables smart contracts and decentralized applications.
- BRC-20 Tokens: Early-stage support for yield-generating mechanisms tied to popular BRC-20 projects.
These additions reinforce OKX Wallet’s role as a gateway to both established and emerging opportunities within the broader Bitcoin economy.
Built on Decentralized Principles
OKX Wallet adheres strictly to the core tenet of cryptocurrency: “Not your keys, not your coins.” As a self-custody, non-custodial wallet, it ensures users retain full control over their private keys and digital assets at all times.
Leveraging Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology, OKX Wallet eliminates single points of failure by distributing key shards across secure environments. This advanced security model provides:
- Enhanced protection against hacks and device loss
- Seamless recovery options during emergencies
- No reliance on centralized custodians
All transactions occur on-chain, preserving decentralization while delivering a smooth, intuitive user experience—even for complex operations like cross-chain swaps or NFT minting.
Advancing the Bitcoin Layer-2 Vision
OKX is not just building tools—it's actively contributing to the future of Bitcoin innovation. On May 17 in Miami, Chief Innovation Officer Jason Lau will speak at Bitcoin Builders, the first conference dedicated exclusively to Bitcoin’s Layer-2 ecosystem. The event brings together developers, founders, and thought leaders shaping the next generation of Bitcoin scalability and functionality.
During this gathering, OKX will unveil additional initiatives aimed at strengthening developer tooling, improving interoperability, and expanding community access to cutting-edge Bitcoin protocols.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What are BRC-20 tokens?
A: BRC-20 tokens are an experimental token standard built on the Bitcoin blockchain using the Ordinals protocol. They allow users to issue fungible tokens similar to Ethereum’s ERC-20 standard but secured by Bitcoin’s network.
Q: Can I use the Ordinals Marketplace on mobile?

A: Yes, minting and trading require network fees paid in BTC to cover blockchain computation and inscription costs. Fees vary based on network congestion.
Q: How does MPC technology improve wallet security?

A: Absolutely. The wallet supports NFTs across more than 60 blockchains, including Ethereum’s ERC-721 and ERC-1155, Polygon, Solana, and many others.
