Introducing the New Ordinals Marketplace
The newly launched Ordinals Marketplace within OKX Wallet empowers users to view, transfer, mint, and trade both Bitcoin Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens directly from their wallet. This integration marks a significant milestone in making advanced Bitcoin functionalities accessible to mainstream users without compromising on security or decentralization.
Key Features of the Ordinals Marketplace

Users can already explore their Ordinal inscriptions and move them across wallets with full transparency and control. - Available This Week: Trade BRC-20 tokens (buy, sell, list)
For the first time in a multichain wallet, users will be able to trade popular BRC-20 tokens seamlessly—opening doors to new investment and collection opportunities. - Coming Soon: Mint Ordinal inscription NFTs and BRC-20 tokens

Enhanced Bitcoin Ecosystem Support
Beyond the marketplace, OKX Wallet is rolling out deeper infrastructure-level enhancements to strengthen its commitment to the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Lightning Network Integration
OKX Wallet will soon support the Lightning Network, enabling faster and significantly cheaper Bitcoin transactions. By leveraging off-chain payment channels, users can enjoy near-instant transfers with minimal fees—ideal for microtransactions and frequent trading activity.
This integration aligns perfectly with Bitcoin’s vision of becoming a global payment network while maintaining on-chain settlement finality.
OKX BTC Explorer Adds BRC-20 Support
The OKX BTC Explorer (via 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 verify inscriptions, trace token movements, and audit transfers directly from an intuitive interface—enhancing transparency and trust in every transaction.

Staking for $STX and BRC-20 Tokens
As part of its broader Layer-2 support, OKX Wallet enables staking for $STX, the native token of Stacks—a leading Bitcoin Layer-2 network that powers smart contracts and decentralized applications on Bitcoin. Additionally, future updates will extend staking capabilities to select BRC-20 tokens, allowing holders to earn yield directly from their digital assets.
Security First: MPC Technology for True Self-Custody
At the heart of OKX Wallet’s design is a deep respect for user sovereignty. As the first multichain Web3 wallet to implement Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology, it eliminates single points of failure by distributing key shards across multiple secure nodes.
This means:
- No single device or backup phrase holds full access.
- Recovery is easier during emergencies without sacrificing security.
- All transactions remain on-chain and fully verifiable.
Aligned with the core Bitcoin principle—“not your keys, not your coins”—OKX Wallet ensures complete self-custody while delivering a smooth user experience. Whether you're managing NFTs, tokens, or Ordinals, your assets stay under your control at all times.
Driving Innovation at Bitcoin Builders Conference
OKX continues to champion Bitcoin’s next evolution by participating in Bitcoin Builders, the first conference dedicated exclusively to Bitcoin’s Layer-2 ecosystem. Taking place on May 17 in Miami, Chief Innovation Officer Jason Lau will join industry leaders on a panel discussing the future of scalable, programmable Bitcoin.
This event underscores OKX’s ongoing investment in developer tools, infrastructure, and community growth—all aimed at expanding what’s possible on Bitcoin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What are BRC-20 tokens?
A: BRC-20 is a token standard built on the Bitcoin blockchain using JSON-based inscriptions. Similar to ERC-20 on Ethereum, it enables the creation and transfer of fungible tokens, opening new use cases like meme coins and community tokens on Bitcoin.
Q: Can I use the Ordinals Marketplace on mobile?
A: Yes. The Ordinals Marketplace is fully integrated into the OKX Wallet mobile app (iOS and Android), allowing you to view, trade, and mint assets on the go.
Q: Is my private key ever exposed when using MPC?
A: No. MPC technology splits your private key into encrypted fragments distributed across secure environments. No single party ever sees the full key, ensuring maximum protection against theft or loss.
Q: Do I need BTC to interact with BRC-20 tokens?
A: Yes. Since BRC-20 tokens live on the Bitcoin blockchain, you’ll need BTC to pay for transaction fees when transferring, trading, or minting tokens.
Q: Will other wallets support BRC-20 trading soon?
A: While some wallets may follow, OKX Wallet remains the first multichain wallet to offer full BRC-20 trading support with an integrated marketplace—setting a new benchmark in functionality and ease of use.
Q: How does Lightning Network reduce transaction costs?
A: The Lightning Network processes transactions off-chain through payment channels. Only the opening and closing of these channels require on-chain confirmation, drastically reducing congestion and fees.
By merging cutting-edge technology with user-centric design, OKX Wallet is not just keeping pace with Web3 innovation—it's leading it. From pioneering MPC security to launching the first multichain Ordinals Marketplace, OKX continues to empower users with tools that make decentralized ownership simpler, safer, and more powerful than ever before.
