The world of Bitcoin inscriptions continues to evolve, and we’re proud to be at the forefront of this innovation. Today, we’re excited to announce the addition of Atomicals (ARC-20) support on our Inscription Market — a powerful step forward in expanding access to diverse token standards on the Bitcoin blockchain. Formerly known as the Ordinals Market, our platform now enables users to create, buy, and sell ARC-20 inscriptions with zero trading fees, reinforcing our commitment to building the most comprehensive and user-friendly marketplace for digital assets.
What Are Atomicals and ARC-20 Inscriptions?
Atomicals, powered by the ARC-20 protocol, represent a new frontier in Bitcoin-based tokenization. As a colored coin standard, Atomicals allow each Satoshi — the smallest unit of Bitcoin — to carry unique metadata and represent ownership of fungible digital assets. This breakthrough enables developers and creators to issue tokens directly on Bitcoin’s immutable ledger, combining the security of the world’s most robust blockchain with the flexibility of modern token standards.
With ARC-20, users can now mint, transfer, and trade digital collectibles, utility tokens, and community-driven assets without relying on secondary layers or sidechains. On our Inscription Market, popular ARC-20 tokens such as Atom, Quark, TOOTHY, and Capybaras are already available for seamless trading.

Expanding Our Ecosystem: From Wallet to Marketplace
This integration builds on our existing support for Atomicals within OKX Wallet, where users can already view and manage their ARC-20 and Stamps (SRC-20) inscriptions. Earlier this year, we also added support for the Rune Alpha inscription standard on March 12 — a move that further solidifies our wallet as a unified hub for next-generation digital assets.
Looking ahead, we’re preparing to roll out support for Doginals (DRC-20) in the coming weeks, followed by full Runes integration after the upcoming Bitcoin halving. These upgrades ensure that both casual collectors and advanced traders have early access to emerging trends across the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Our goal is simple: provide a frictionless experience where users can interact with every major inscription protocol from a single, secure platform.
Why This Matters for Creators and Collectors
For creators, the launch of ARC-20 support unlocks new opportunities to tokenize ideas, art, and communities directly on Bitcoin. Unlike traditional NFT platforms that operate on Ethereum or other smart contract blockchains, Atomicals leverage Bitcoin’s unmatched security and decentralization — offering long-term durability for digital ownership.
Collectors benefit from increased liquidity and discovery. With zero-fee trading enabled across all supported standards, users can explore rare inscriptions, build diversified portfolios, and participate in vibrant communities — all without paying unnecessary transaction costs.
Whether you're launching your first collection or curating high-value digital artifacts, our Inscription Market is designed to scale with your ambitions.

But innovation means nothing without security. That’s why we’re proud to be ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, meeting the global gold standard for information security management. This certification validates our end-to-end safeguards for customer data, asset protection, and system integrity — giving users confidence that their digital assets are in safe hands.

What’s Next? The Future of Crypto Payments and Web3 Access
Beyond inscriptions, we’re building products for the next generation of blockchain users. Recently, we launched OKX Pay, a revolutionary sub-app within OKX designed to simplify crypto payments for over 100 million global users. Starting in select markets, this first-of-its-kind solution aims to bridge the gap between digital assets and everyday transactions.
In parallel, our expansion into the United States marks a new chapter in global Web3 adoption. With a focus on secure, compliant access to digital assets, we’re committed to empowering American users with tools that are both innovative and trustworthy.
