The world of Bitcoin-based digital assets is evolving rapidly, and OKX Wallet is leading the charge with a groundbreaking update that redefines what a multichain wallet can do. As the first multichain wallet to support BRC-20 trading and Ordinals minting through its new Ordinals Marketplace, OKX Wallet is setting a new standard for self-custody solutions in the Web3 space.
This innovative expansion not only deepens integration with the Bitcoin ecosystem but also empowers users to seamlessly interact with cutting-edge assets like Bitcoin Ordinals, BRC-20 tokens, and NFTs — all within a single, secure interface across more than 60 blockchains.
Introducing the New Ordinals Marketplace
The upcoming launch of the Ordinals Marketplace within OKX Wallet marks a pivotal moment for Bitcoin-native assets. Designed for both creators and collectors, this marketplace will offer comprehensive functionality for engaging with the growing universe of inscriptions on the Bitcoin blockchain.
Key Features at Launch:

This native integration makes OKX Wallet the only multichain solution offering end-to-end support for minting, viewing, transferring, and trading both Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens — all without leaving the wallet environment.
Enhanced Bitcoin Ecosystem Support
Beyond the marketplace, OKX Wallet is expanding its foundational support for Bitcoin’s evolving infrastructure. These upgrades reflect a deep commitment to scalability, speed, security, and decentralization — core tenets of the Bitcoin philosophy.
Lightning Network Integration
OKX Wallet will soon support the Lightning Network, enabling faster and significantly cheaper Bitcoin transactions. This layer-2 solution allows for near-instant payments with minimal fees, making microtransactions and frequent trading far more practical for everyday users.
OKX BTC Explorer Now Supports BRC-20
The OKX BTC Explorer has been upgraded to become the first multichain explorer supporting BRC-20 tokens. This means users can now verify BRC-20 transactions in real time, directly from an on-chain source. Transparency and trust are enhanced as holders gain full visibility into token movements and inscription details.
Staking for $STX and BRC-20 Tokens
Adding further utility, OKX Wallet introduces staking support for $STX, the native token of Stacks — a leading Bitcoin Layer-2 platform. Additionally, select BRC-20 tokens will also be eligible for staking rewards, creating passive income opportunities tied to Bitcoin’s expanding ecosystem.
Built on MPC Technology for Maximum Security
Security remains paramount in self-custody wallets, and OKX Wallet stands out by being the first multichain Web3 wallet to implement Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology. Unlike traditional wallets that rely on a single private key — creating a single point of failure — MPC splits key generation and signing across multiple parties.
This approach eliminates the risk of total asset loss due to device failure or theft. Even if one component is compromised, funds remain protected. Moreover, recovery processes are streamlined, allowing users to regain access quickly during emergencies without relying on third parties.
True to the principle of “not your keys, not your coins,” OKX Wallet ensures complete decentralization. All transactions occur on-chain, and users retain full control over their assets at all times.

A Commitment to Innovation and Community
OKX Wallet continues to push boundaries not just technologically but also through active community engagement. The team will participate in Bitcoin Builders, the first conference dedicated entirely to Bitcoin’s Layer-2 ecosystem, held on May 17 in Miami. Chief Innovation Officer Jason Lau will join industry leaders on a panel discussion exploring the future of Bitcoin innovation.
This appearance underscores OKX’s long-term vision: to foster sustainable growth within the Bitcoin ecosystem by supporting developers, builders, and everyday users alike.
More updates on protocol enhancements and community initiatives are expected in the coming weeks, signaling ongoing investment in Bitcoin’s next evolutionary phase.
