The launch of Ordinals in early 2023 took the Bitcoin community by storm, creating a new thriving market for digital artifacts inscribed onto Bitcoin. To seamlessly trade Ordinals, you need a marketplace like OKX and a Bitcoin wallet like Xverse that supports Ordinals.

Read on for a step-by-step guide on how you can buy and sell Ordinals on OKX using your Xverse wallet.

What is the OKX Ordinals Marketplace?

OKX Marketplace is a multichain NFT trading platform that launched a Bitcoin Ordinals marketplace to support the inscribing and trading of Ordinal inscriptions and BRC-20 tokens.

The Web3 marketplace aggregates listings from other major marketplaces to create a one-stop shop for trading and collecting Ordinals. OKX Marketplace collaborates with Ordinals compatible wallets like Xverse to allow you to buy and sell Bitcoin Ordinals securely. 

OKX, based in Seychelles, was launched in 2017 as OKEx but was rebranded to OKX in 2022. 

How Does the OKX Ordinals Marketplace Work? 

You can access the OKX Ordinals marketplace by downloading the OKX mobile app or visiting their official marketplace website. The OKX marketplace is decentralized, so you don't need an OKX exchange account to use it. All you need is a compatible wallet like the Xverse Ordinals wallet. 

The Ordinals marketplace supports searching for Ordinals inscriptions in many categories from the aggregated listings. You can also discover the latest high-ranking collections under the platform's ‘Featured’ section. 

The marketplace also allows you to trade Ordinals in bulk, and you can customize your trading strategies using an order book. While there are no platform fees, network fees still apply when buying inscriptions on the platform. 

The OKX platform employs advanced security features, such as two-factor authentication, anti-phishing code, and mobile verification, to ensure a safe user experience.
