The BRC-20 token standard has been gaining huge traction in the cryptocurrency market, particularly due to the emergence of memecoins. BRC-20 tokens are modeled after Ethereum's ERC-20 tokens and were created by anonymous on-chain analyst Domo for the purpose of creating and transferring fungible tokens via the Ordinals protocol. This token standard is only available for use on the Bitcoin blockchain and cannot be used directly on Ethereum or any other blockchain.

The growth of BRC-20 tokens has had a major impact on the cryptocurrency space, with the market capitalization now surging to just over $928 million and 13,530 tokens in circulation globally. Some of the most popular BRC-20 tokens to emerge out of this market surge include Ordi, Pepe, Piza, Meme, and Moon.

Users must have access to a Bitcoin wallet compatible with the BRC-20 token standard in order to mint and trade these tokens. This can then be further used to buy BRC-20 tokens on a decentralised or centralised exchange, depending on the user’s preference.

The long-term success of BRC-20 tokens will be greatly dependent on several external factors, including technological advancements, market sentiment, and regulatory developments. Despite the uncertainty of what the future may hold for BRC-20 tokens, it is clear that there is interest in the tokens that extend beyond the memecoin industry, with more people beginning to recognise their potential.
