CoinMarketCap API Used to Build Bitcoin Ordinals/BRC-20 Tracker
Developers can now build a Bitcoin Ordinals/BRC-20 tracker using CoinMarketCap's API. This allows for monitoring of BTC prices, BRC-20 token discovery, and tracking of trends in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Bitcoin Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens have made it possible to add programmability to Bitcoin without changing its base layer. They enable arbitrary data to be inscribed directly into Bitcoin transaction witness fields, giving each satoshi a unique serial number and allowing for NFT-like content to be carried.
The leading BRC-20 tokens by market cap include ORDI, SATS, and several others. These tokens trade on both CEXs (Binance, OKX) and Bitcoin-native DEXs like UniSat and Magic Eden.
