Montana's Latest Venture: Bitcoin Inscription

Reportedly, the Bitcoin Inscription is labeled with the tag 64333690 and spans a substantial 3.956 MB in size. Notably, this new Ordinal, ranking as the third largest, will utilize the BRC-420 asset protocol. Through this initiative, French Montana secures a lasting place for his music within a global, immutable database, establishing himself as a pioneer in this form of media creation.

French Montana's shift towards Bitcoin Ordinals could set a precedent for other musicians and artists intrigued by the concept of Bitcoin Inscriptions for their own works. In recent times, various celebrities, particularly within the music industry, have expressed escalating interest in Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency landscape.

Beyond Financial Aspects: The Growing Role of Blockchain

Exploring the capabilities of Bitcoin Ordinals, it becomes apparent that they serve as counterparts to Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), housing digital content like music, images, videos, and text. Recent instances have illustrated the evolving landscape, where entities delve into the possibilities offered by Bitcoin Ordinals.

Earlier this year, there was a misconception regarding the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rendering approval for Bitcoin ETF applications, which the SEC Chair, Gary Gensler, promptly debunked. Digital artist @billyrestey then transformed Gensler's public statement into a Bitcoin Ordinal, encapsulating it as a 24.32 KB WEBP image file within Bitcoin's creation block at a specific point in time.

Notably, even vocal Bitcoin skeptic Peter Schiff ventured into this realm by creating gold-based Ordinals and subsequently offering them for sale in Bitcoin. The ecosystem of Bitcoin Inscriptions and Ordinals is progressively gaining traction, exemplified by a surge in trading volume earlier this year, reaching a peak of $50 million, the highest since December 2023.
