ORDI surges around 150% in one week amid Binance listing error
ORDI (ORDI) surged 82% after the largest crypto exchange, Binance, announced its listing and mistakenly tied it to the Bitcoin Ordinals project.
Over the past 24 hours, the token’s price has jumped from $7.49 to $13.66 at the time of writing. However, ORDI price is still well below its all-time high of $29.16, recorded on May 8, 2023.
Since the all-time low on Sept. 11, 2023, the token has already increased by 381.95%.
ORDI’s market capitalization also jumped 22.5% in the recent 24 hours to $277 million. Now, according to this indicator, the token ranks 127th in the CoinMarketCap rating.
At the same time, ORDI trading volumes showed stunning growth. Over 24 hours, trading volume increased by 320% to $506 million. This propelled ORDI into the top 10 cryptocurrencies by 24-hour trading volume.
Binance lists ORDI
Earlier Binance announced the listing of ORDI on its platform. The crypto community believed that the token belonged to the popular Ordinals project.
However, Ordinals creator Casey Rodarmore stated that the ORDI token has nothing to do with his project. He asked Binance representatives to remove all information from the asset listing announcement page.
The crypto exchange has relaunched ORDI data and removed all links referring to Ordinals. According to the announcement, ORDI is the first token created in accordance with the BRC-20 standard on the Bitcoin network.
Ordinals can record data in the smallest unit of Bitcoin (BTC) – Satoshi. Ordinals convert individual satoshis into non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and thus create a Bitcoin NFT. Unlike traditional Ethereum-based tokens, the service stores user content on-chain.
