As stated by Haider Rafique, the CFO of OKX, users were first able to use their accounts to see and save ordinals, with the possibility of minting ordinals being hinted at in the future. first, OKX users could view and store ordinals.

The Bitcoin NFTs are also accessible on markets such as Magic Eden, which introduced the functionality in March and is one of the marketplaces where they may be purchased.
