OKX NFT, a digital marketplace powered by the <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/okx/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">OKX</a> crypto exchange, appeared to be the second-largest NFT platform over the past month, surpassing <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/opensea/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">OpenSea</a> in trading volume. As per DappRadar, OKX NFT secured a “substantial 32% dominance in the NFT sector,” overtaking OpenSea, which is currently holding a 10% market share in terms of trading volume. 
Yet, DappRadar Blockchain Analyst Sara Gherghelas notes that OpenSea remains the top platform in terms of user base with over 190,000 registered accounts as of November 2023. She also suggested OKX succeeded in its efforts thanks to its bet on unique offerings of <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin</a> <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/ordinals/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ordinals</a> art pieces.

However, it is yet to be seen if OKX could retain its title given that Bitcoin Core developers are planning to get rid of Inscriptions, essentially putting an end to Bitcoin Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens. 
As crypto.news <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-core-developer-calls-ordinals-a-fraud-announces-fix/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>, Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr hopes to put an end to BRC-20 tokens and Bitcoin-based NFTs with a set of upgrades as these products appear to be spamming the network, leading to an excessive amount of data being stored on the blockchain. 
Bitcoin Ordinals&nbsp;are non-fungible tokens that enable the inscribing of data onto a satoshi, the smallest division of a Bitcoin. Since its launch in January 2023, the protocol has seen the inscription trend take off, leading to thousands being minted on the Bitcoin network. This has&nbsp;<a href="https://crypto.news/over-225000-bitcoin-transactions-are-unconfirmed-as-ordinals-bloat-mempool/">caused congestion</a>&nbsp;and spikes in transaction fees, reaching a peak in April and May 2023.
