In 2023, the Bitcoin market experienced a significant wealth effect, surging from $16,500 at the beginning of the year to $42,000. Apart from Bitcoin itself, market funds also overflowed into its ecosystem.
The most striking example is the explosive growth of the BRC20 sector under the Ordinals protocol. Presently, the BRC20 token market size has exceeded $4 billion, showing an increase of nearly 40 times compared to $100 million in March this year. This growth has propelled continuous innovation and development across the entire Bitcoin ecosystem.
Currently, market attention within the Bitcoin ecosystem is primarily focused on two aspects: asset issuance protocols (such as Ordinals, Atomicals, Runes, PIPE, Taproots Assets) and scaling solutions (including Lightning Network, RSK, Stacks, RGB, BitVM).
The most prominent sectors in the Bitcoin ecosystem with evident wealth effects are the BRC-20 assets under the Ordinals protocol, ARC-20, and Realm under the Atomicals protocol, PIPE under the PIPE protocol, and tokens related to Bitcoin's scalability (such as RIF, STX).
Although predicting the future growth trajectory of the Bitcoin ecosystem is challenging, data reveals a linear increase in Bitcoin UTXO since the inception of the Ordinals protocol.
Based on this, we have six predictions for the Bitcoin ecosystem:
1. If the Bitcoin ecosystem continues to expand, BTC prices may surpass previous highs in the next bullish phase, possibly reaching $100,000.
2. ORD, as a leading currency in the Bitcoin ecosystem, is expected to enter the top thirty in terms of circulation market value.
3. The future Bitcoin NFT market could grow by over 100 times its current size.
4. Protocols like Ordinals, Atomicals, and Taproot Assets might present opportunities for coins to grow exponentially.
5. In the short term, the Bitcoin ecosystem will maintain a variety of protocol solutions, but in the long term, a unified virtual machine environment may emerge.
6. The Lightning Network will serve as a key technical support for expanding Bitcoin payments, with more assets likely to be issued on it in the future.
