The Bitcoin BRC-20 Token Standard has drawn attention from crypto enthusiasts and developers due to the microcosm of memecoins it has launched. The first successful meme token PEPE, created using the BRC-20 Ethereum-based standard, exploded in price, resulting in a 38,900% return on investment for early investors.

This inspiring success encouraged developers to explore the original BRC-20 token standard, designed by pseudonymous on-chain analyst Domo, to mint and transfer tokens across the Bitcoin network. BRC-20 is a new and unique mechanism, modeled after the ERC-20 token standard, yet simpler, as it does not require smart contracts.

Since the discovery of this token standard, the number of BRC-20 tokens generated and launched has increased exponentially and marked a significant growth in the BRC-20 token market capitalization and transaction volume. As a result, the BRC-20 study currently exceeds that of the Bitcoin chain by more than 50%, as seen from data reports from Coinmarketcap from April 29 to May 2, 2023.

Interest from investors towards this new token standard has grown, yet it is important to note that BRC-20 is still only in its early stages. Therefore any investment has to be made with caution in order to secure profitable returns.
