Bitcoin (BTC) Soars Toward $30K, Solana (SOL) Skyrockets 13% Daily (Market Watch)
After a few days of trading sideways, bitcoin went on the offensive hard in the past 12 hours or so and shot up to nearly $30,000.
The altcoins have also turned green, with SOL, BCH, XRP, XLM, and MNT skyrocketing by up to 12%.
BTC Eyes $30K
The start of the business week was quite positive for the primary cryptocurrency, which pumped to $28,000 after a boring weekend. Monday saw another mindblowing price surge when a fake report in regards to the SEC approving a spot BTC ETF pushed the asset north by around two grand to a multi-month peak of just under $30,000.
However, the subsequent rebuttal of the report resulted in a similar price drop that erased all gains. The bulls tried to drive the cryptocurrency north in the following days but to almost no success. That changed in the past day or so, though.
BTC shot up to $29,400 late on Thursday before soaring even more to its current price point of $29,800. Being so close to the $30,000 milestone means that its market cap has increased to over $580 billion.
Its dominance over the altcoins, which has been on a steady rise in the past week or so, is now up to 51.7%.
SOL Steals the Show
The altcoins have also followed BTCβs upward trajectory. Ethereum has gained about 4% on the day and sits above $1,600. BNB, Cardano, Dogecoin, Tron, Toncoin, Polygon, Polkadot, and Litecoin have soared by similar percentages.
Ripple is up by 7% now following the latest positive developments in the companyβs legal case against the SEC.
Solana, though, has stolen the show from the larger-cap landscape with a massive 13% daily surge. Consequently, SOL sits at a multi-week high at $27.
More impressive gains come from the likes of Bitcoin Cash, Avalanche, XLM, MNT, and OP. Bitcoin SV and Stacks have skyrocketed the most from the mid-cap alts, by 30% and 20%, respectively.
The total crypto market cap has added over $40 billion daily and sits well above $1.2 trillion on CMC.

https://xworld.store/en-US/quest
Recently, the BRC-20 token sats has continued to rise. Coingecko data shows that in the past half month, the price of sats has been hovering around 0.00000002 USDT for a long time. In the past two days, the price has climbed rapidly, reaching a maximum of 0.00000007 USDT, with a maximum increase of nearly 250%. What has happened in the BRC-20 market recently?
Meme coins that Impossible to mint
When it comes to sats, the biggest impression people have on it is its extremely large supply. The total supply of sats is 2,100,000,000,000,000, which is 2,100 trillion, which is 100 million times that of Bitcoin.
Therefore, at the beginning of its launch, many users did not believe that this BRC-20 token would eventually be fully minted. But the enthusiasm of users is powerful, and sats, a meme named after Satoshi Nakamoto, was eventually fully minted.
On September 24, the casting progress of sats reached 100%, with the total number of castings reaching 21,107,258 times and 36,061 holders. The casting started on March 9, 2023 and took a total of 6 months.
Judging from the number of participants, there are enough sats, which to a certain extent represents sufficient "decentralization". Moreover, the token name itself is an "innate advantage", which also gives sats a certain advantage in the competition on the meme track.
Meme coins turned into utility tokens
As the scale of the sats community expands, UniSat, the largest wallet developer in the BRC 20 ecosystem, has also taken a fancy to this "hot potato". The UniSat team is trying to empower sats and increase application scenarios. (note: UniSat Wallet is a Chrome plug-in wallet for the BTC ecosystem, helping users store, mint and transfer BRC-20 tokens, including buying and selling BTC, NFT, domain names, etc.)
The story of Meme coin "empowerment" is not the first time it has happened in the crypto world. Previously, DOGE and SHIB had once triggered heated discussions in the market for "issuing chains". The story this time comes from the fee consumption of swap. In UniSat's latest brc20-swap, sats will be charged as a handling fee, which will cause users to consume a lot of sats.
UniSatWallet stated that brc20-swap will charge a 0.3% service fee to all users participating in the transaction. About 1/6 (0.05%) of this fee is collected by UniSat, and the remaining 5/6 (0.25%) is allocated to each trading pair. All liquidity providers. This fee structure is primarily based on the rate scale currently used by UniSwap. Regarding the use of handling fees, UniSat will donate 2% of its income to L1F (Layer1Foundation). In addition, UniSat will open the fully interpreted and verified source code of brc20-swap to facilitate early support of the indexer.
At present, the brc-20 protocol and even the entire Ordinals ecosystem are still in their early stages, and UniSat occupies a huge market share and influence. Sats is favored by UniSat and provides itself with great positive expectations. OKX data shows that sats generated approximately US$2 million in trading volume in the past 24 hours.
BRC20-swap went online with twists and turns
Previously, due to the "original" user experience and poor liquidity, brc-20 tokens still belonged to the "small circle" niche track, and the lack of infrastructure made it difficult for EVM whales to enter. The opening of UniSat's brc20-swap has opened a channel for more users to enter the Bitcoin ecosystem and trade BRC-20 tokens. The launch of this product has also experienced some setbacks.
On September 27, UniSat Wallet announced the launch of the brc 20-swap testnet, where users can mint BRC-20 tokens, deposit, trade and increase liquidity on its testnet.
On October 10, UniSatWallet announced the release schedule of the brc20-swap mainnet, which is planned to be launched on October 25.
On October 22, UniSat itself encountered technical difficulties. Some users discovered that different markets are using different versions of ord, which index different inscription numbers. Before MagicEden, OKX and UniSat Wallet all used the same ordinal number, there was a risk of double spending when trading BRC-20.
UniSat later issued a response on . We are monitoring the work of contributors and indexers and will promptly notify our users." On the same day, Magic Eden suspended BRC-20 trading.
On October 25, the original scheduled mainnet launch time for brc20-swap has arrived. However, UniSat delayed the launch of the product and postponed its mainnet launch to October 31. At the same time, it stated that during the initial mainnet launch, the team will continue to distribute Prime Access for free; as more users join, the team The performance of the system will be closely monitored and any issues that may arise promptly addressed; after a series of iterations, all features will eventually be made available to all users.
On November 1, Beijing time, the brc 20-swap mainnet was officially launched. However, unlike common "permission-free" DEXs, brc20-swap still requires a certain "permission" before trading can be started.
Among the first batch of online assets, UniSat has included 14 inscription assets in the first batch of support lists for the brc20-swap mainnet, namely: sats, ordi, trac, oshi, btcs, oxbt, texo, cncl, meme, honk, .bit, vmpx, pepe, mxrc. Specifically, asset open trading adopts an "on-demand transaction" model: only when a new user deposits relevant assets into brc20-swap, the withdrawal request can be used.
It seems too early to draw a conclusion on how far the BRC-20 ecology can go. It might as well let the bullets fly for a while and wait for development.
