ORDI Surges Against Bitcoin Amid Reviving Ordinals Narrative

ORDI, the primary financial instrument tied to the Bitcoin Ordinals ecosystem, has made significant gains against the dollar. The token's price rose by around 9% in a single day, outperforming the broader market and beating Bitcoin (BTC) by roughly 10 percentage points in 24 hours.

The current price of ORDI sits at $4.68 with a market cap of approximately $98 million, placing it at rank 291. The token's daily trading volume is around $217 million, more than double its total market cap.
