OKX surpasses 50% of Bitcoin Runes market share

The protocol is now an integral part of the Bitcoin ecosystem alongside Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens.

Crypto exchange OKX now accounts for 51.08% of Bitcoin Runes' daily trading volume through its Web3 marketplace. 

According to data from Ordinals analytic platform GeniiData, Runes' trading activity on other platforms, such as UniSat and MagicEden, has steadily declined since April, holding a combined 48.83% market share. Almost all Bitcoin Runes' trading activity is conducted through the three aforementioned firms and their platforms.

Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem thrives despite market correction

The Bitcoin DApp ecosystem has been reinvigorated by the invention of native protocols such as Ordinals and Inscriptions last year.

The Bitcoin decentralized application (DApp) ecosystem has been experiencing a revival with the introduction of native protocols since the creation of Ordinals and Inscriptions.

One such project, omnichain yield-generating protocol SolvBTC, has accumulated a total value locked (TVL) of $700 million from its yield-bearing Bitcoin minted on Arbitrum, Merlin, and BNB Chains. In a statement to Cointelegraph, SolvBTC developers claim that the protocol has recently surpassed 10,000 BTC staked and attracted “over 92,000 participants” shortly after its launch earlier this month.
