CrytoQuant analyst Alex explains that Bitcoin is currently under siege from the BRC20 junk coins leading to record high fees and thousands of unconfirmed transactions. However, on-chain data shows that the total number of unconfirmed transactions has dropped below 400,000 from nearly 500,000 over the weekend.

“Unlike conventional token standards, such as Ethereum’s ERC-20, BRC-20 does not utilize smart contracts and operates only with wallets supporting the #Bitcoin blockchain,” writes Alex. 

Amid the recent strong activity, the market cap of BRC20 tokens has exceeded $1 billion, with 24-hour trading volumes exceeding more than $200 million. Some of the prominent BRC20 tokens on the radar are ORDI, NALS, VMPX, PEPE, and MEME. All these tokens have shown wide volatility with prices fluctuating between +10% to -55%.

Twitter user Domo developed the BRC20 standard earlier this year on March 8. Nearly, 14,000 BRC20 tokens have been existing on the Bitcoin blockchain currently.

A number of top exchanges like Binance and Gemini have recently rushed to offer support for Bitcoin Ordinals amid its strong demand.
