About Ordinals (ORDI/USD)
ORDI is a BRC-20 token created on Bitcoin through the Ordinals protocol, which was introduced by Casey Rodarmor in January 2023. Ordinals assigns a serial number to each satoshi (the smallest unit of Bitcoin), allowing arbitrary data, including images, text, and token metadata, to be inscribed directly onto the Bitcoin blockchain. BRC-20 is an experimental token standard built on top of Ordinals that enables fungible tokens on Bitcoin using JSON inscription data. ORDI was the first BRC-20 token deployed and has become the benchmark for the Bitcoin token ecosystem. Its price is driven by Bitcoin ecosystem sentiment, Ordinals inscription activity, and speculation about Bitcoin's evolution beyond simple value transfer. ORDI/USD on StoicFX is a CFD, no ORDI tokens are purchased or held on your behalf.

- Bitcoin network fee dynamics as inscriptions consume block space and drive miner revenue
- Bitcoin community debate over inscription legitimacy posing existential protocol risk
- BRC-20 ecosystem development alongside competitive pressure from Runes standard

FAQ
What are Bitcoin Ordinals and how do they enable tokens on Bitcoin?
Ordinals is a protocol that assigns a unique serial number to each satoshi based on the order it was mined. This numbering system allows data to be attached to specific satoshis via Bitcoin transactions, effectively inscribing content onto the blockchain. BRC-20 tokens like ORDI use this mechanism to create fungible tokens by inscribing JSON data that defines token name, supply, and transfer rules.
What is the difference between BRC-20 and Runes on Bitcoin?
BRC-20 tokens store token data as individual Ordinals inscriptions in the witness portion of Bitcoin transactions. Runes, introduced by Ordinals creator Casey Rodarmor in April 2024, use Bitcoin's OP_RETURN field instead, which is more space-efficient and does not create unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) that bloat the Bitcoin UTXO set. Runes are generally seen as a more technically elegant approach, which has created competitive pressure on BRC-20.
Why is ORDI considered the blue-chip BRC-20 token?
ORDI was the first BRC-20 token ever deployed, giving it first-mover recognition in the Bitcoin token ecosystem. It was listed on Binance and other major exchanges before most other BRC-20 tokens gained traction. Its benchmark status means that ORDI often trades as a proxy for the entire Bitcoin token narrative, similar to how DOGE became the default meme coin trade.
If I trade ORDI/USD on StoicFX, do I hold any ORDI tokens?
No. ORDI/USD on StoicFX is a Contract for Difference. You trade ORDI's price against the US dollar without holding any tokens. To inscribe, transfer, or hold actual ORDI, you would need a Bitcoin wallet that supports BRC-20 tokens.
