🧡 A chapter closes in Bitcoin.
On June 1, 2026, @ord_io is shutting down for good.
After more than 1 million users and 3 years being the visible heart of the Ordinals, it's going out quietly. They've run out of funds.
What we were:
- 2023: Bitcoin evolved from just being money to becoming an endless canvas.
- The Ordinals allowed us to inscribe art, memes, videos, and dreams directly onto satoshis.
- The golden era arrived: in less than 9 months, we generated over $3 billion in volume.
- At its peak, Bitcoin surpassed Ethereum + Solana combined in NFT sales.
- Mempool was congested, fees skyrocketed, and a FOMO we never saw again. It was chaotic… it was magical.
The heartbeat of the movement:
$ORDI - First BRC-20 token, created in March 2023 almost as an experiment.
- Burst onto the scene (initial price ridiculously low).
- At its peak, it hit $95 with an FDV of over $2 billion.
- Today (2026), it hovers around $5, down more than -95%.
And what we are now:
- Over 107 million inscriptions live forever on the blockchain.
- Stable monthly volumes between $30M and $50M.
- Without the wild hype of before, but a smaller, more mature, and more real community remains.
Today, ORD . io shuts down, but the Ordinals are not done.
They simply evolve, like everything in Bitcoin.
One of the craziest and most beautiful eras in crypto history is etched into the satoshis. We were there. We witnessed it.
What’s your favorite memory from the Ordinals era?
