There were more than 45,000 buyers on the marketplace and over 91,000 sellers, but sales did not exceed figures <a href="https://crypto.news/nft-sales-on-bitcoin-hit-record-in-december-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">set</a> in December last year.&nbsp; 
The Magic Eden <a href="https://crypto.news/nft-sales-on-bitcoin-hit-record-in-december-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin NFT</a> market saw an uptrend in volume, fees, buys, and sales since September last year, when Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>) exchanged hands for around $25,000 according to TradingView. BTC is up over 125% since then, trading above $57,000 for the first time since December 2021.&nbsp;

A collection dubbed “Rare Pepes” is considered the first NFT collection on Bitcoin, although the term “non-fungible token” did not exist then. The effort predates the NFT hype that would later gather on crypto’s second-largest chain, Ethereum, in late 2019, following the successful Crypto Punks launch two years prior.&nbsp; 
Bitcoin NFTs made a <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-becomes-second-largest-nft-chain-by-volume/">comeback </a>in 2023 with the introduction of ordinals and inscriptions, a method for adding data to BTC transactions. The technique was created by Casey Rodarmor in January last year and paved the way for renewed decentralized finance activity on crypto’s genesis blockchain. 
While the standard inspired pseudonymous developer Domo to create the BRC-20 framework, unlocking a multi-billion dollar token ecosystem on Bitcoin, core contributors <a href="https://crypto.news/developer-asks-community-not-to-underestimate-bitcoin-ordinals/">pushed back</a> on the idea and tagged it a bug with the potential to threaten BTC’s chain.
