SDM Financial To Present Informative Webinar On Digital Asset Derivatives For Miners, Funds, And HNWIs

16 May 2023

On May 15, 2023, the number of Ordinal inscriptions surpassed the 7 million mark and as of 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday morning, 7,204,882 Ordinal inscriptions have been added to the Bitcoin blockchain. Miners have collected 1,324 bitcoin in fees by confirming inscription transactions which equate to roughly $35.86 million in added onchain fees.

The unstoppable momentum of Bitcoin’s Ordinal inscriptions continues to defy detractors, surging past several milestones. With over 7 million inscriptions now firmly embedded in the blockchain, any skepticism toward demand surrounding this trend is being shattered. Today, on May 16, 2023, the tally stands at 7,204,882 inscriptions since the inaugural one occurred on December 16, 2022.

The world of inscriptions experienced a significant acceleration on April 21, 2023, when the count stood at a mere 1.24 million. In just 25 days since then, the number of Ordinal inscriptions has skyrocketed by over 480%, signaling an astonishing surge. Notably, May 7, 2023, emerged as the pinnacle of this inscription frenzy, with a record-breaking influx of inscriptions. It was on this day that Bitcoin’s mempool found itself congested with an overwhelming 500,000 unconfirmed transactions, a testament to the overwhelming demand and activity in the system.

Bitcoin miners have been handsomely rewarded for their role in processing inscription transactions, receiving 1,324 bitcoins (BTC) valued at $35.86 million. Notably, the pinnacle of these fees was witnessed on May 7, coinciding with the day when Bitcoin’s network fees surpassed the 6.25 BTC block subsidy. Intriguingly, the majority of Ordinal inscriptions take the form of plain text rather than JPEG images, with an overwhelming count of 6,402,199 inscriptions embracing the plain text format.

The realm of selling NFT collections has proven profitable for Ordinal inscriptions, amassing $93 million in sales over the past 30 days. As a result, Bitcoin has ascended to become the second-largest blockchain in terms of NFT sales this month, according to 30-day statistics from cryptoslam.io. Notably, the market has recorded sales from popular Ordinal collections such as Pixel Pepes, Sub100k, Bitcoin Frogs, Space Pepes, Bitcoin Punks, and Sub10k. Out of the six highest-priced NFTs sold this month, five have emerged from the fertile grounds of the Bitcoin blockchain’s Ordinal inscribing technology.

What are your thoughts on Bitcoin’s surge in Ordinal inscriptions and its impact on the NFT market? Share your insights and opinions in the comments section below.

Litecoin rose for a third consecutive session on Tuesday, despite cryptocurrency markets mostly falling lower. The global market cap is currently down by 1.28%, as overall market uncertainty remains high. Apecoin also rallied, extending recent gains.

Litecoin (LTC) was once again in the green, as the token rose for a third consecutive session.

LTC/USD surged to a peak of $89.68 in today’s session, after starting the week at a low at $86.42.

Tuesday’s rally has seen litecoin climb to its strongest point since April 30, which is the last time price was above $90.00.

From the chart, it appears that this level is once again the target for bulls, and could very likely be hit in the coming days.

After breaking out of a ceiling at 50.00, the relative strength index (RSI) is now tracking at 56.28.

The next visible point of resistance is now at the 59.00 mark, and should this be hit, not only will LTC be above $90.00, but likely closer to 92.00.

In addition to LTC, apecoin (APE) also surged on Tuesday, despite current market uncertainty.

Following a low of $3.33 to start the week, APE rose to an intraday high of $3.45 earlier in today’s session.

The gain comes as APE broke out of a ceiling at $3.35, resulting in price climbing to its highest point since May 8.

APE has fallen marginally lower from earlier highs, as its RSI failed to overcome a resistance point at 38.00.

At the time of writing, price strength is at the 37.69 mark, with the price now at $3.42.

If bulls are able to break this wall, then there is a good chance that APE could continue its move towards $4.00.
