OKX Wallet has integrated new functionalities to view and transfer Bitcoin Ordinals directly within its multi-chain platform. This upgrade also extends to its NFT marketplace, providing a more streamlined experience for users engaging with Bitcoin-based digital assets. The wallet now supports BTC Taproot addresses on its browser extension, with mobile support expected to follow soon.
With this update, OKX users can import their BTC wallets into the platform’s multi-chain interface to easily view and manage their Bitcoin Ordinals. This simplifies the process of handling Ordinals and enhances the overall user experience for collectors and traders in the growing Bitcoin NFT ecosystem.
Jason Lau, Chief Innovation Officer at OKX, commented on the development: “We’ve been closely watching the rapid expansion of Bitcoin Ordinals activity. We’re excited to offer users a seamless way to view and interact with their Ordinals, and we look forward to introducing even more features as the Bitcoin ecosystem evolves.”
This enhancement follows the recent listing of Bitcoin Punks on the OKX NFT marketplace, which enabled users to purchase Ordinals using ETH. Soon, the platform is also set to introduce minting and trading support for Bitcoin Ordinals, allowing users to create, buy, and sell these assets directly within the OKX environment.

OKX now stands alongside other leading platforms serving the Bitcoin Ordinals community, such as Ordinals Wallet, Xverse, and Hiro, as well as marketplaces like Magic Eden and Gamma. Prior to the emergence of these dedicated services, users often had to rely on more complex, self-managed solutions—such as creating Ordinals-compatible wallets via Sparrow Wallet and conducting over-the-counter trades—due to a lack of user-friendly, trustless infrastructure for inscribing, holding, and transferring Ordinals.
