Ordinals Asia 2024 will be taking place alongside Bitcoin Asia, and is expected to be one of the largest Bitcoin gatherings of the year. The event will be held on May 11, 2024, at the Soho House in Hong Kong city centre. The single day event follows immediately after what’s known to be one of the premier Bitcoin conferences worldwide, the BitcoinAsia conference, which is happening on May 9-10.
Ordinals Asia 2024 is set to bring together more than 600 participants, as the event aims to feature compelling panels with industry experts and leading Bitcoin builders, as well as top developers, builders, investors, artists and collectors from the ever growing Bitcoin ecosystem. Attendees can expect a full day packaged with panels and activities, as topics range from BRC-20 infrastructure to arts and culture, core development, UI/UX and more.
The speaker line-up includes Domo, Creator of BRC-20, Udi Wertheimer, Co-founder of Taproot Wizards, Casey Rodarmor, Creator of Bitcoin’s Ordinals, Ken Liao, Founder & CEO of Xverse, Lorenzo, Founder at UniSat, Dashan from Waterdrip Capital, Jason Lau, Chief Innovation Officer of OKX, as well as Benjamin Charbit, CEO and Co-founder of Animoca Brands’ subsidiary Darewise Entertainment, and more.
“Asia is Ordinals, and our mission is to become THE Ordinals event in Asia, bringing together leading voices, artists, builders and collectors from the Bitcoin Ordinals ecosystem. East and west, together in one place” says Jan Smejkal, Chief Strategy Officer of Xverse wallet, a co-host of Ordinals Asia 2024.
Bitcoin hit the new All Time High surpassing $73,000 for the first time, a significant milestone after the launch of spot ETFs last month. Additionally, there is considerable anticipation surrounding the demand for Runes and their ability to empower users to create and issue their own Rune fungible tokens on Bitcoin. All of this adds to an exciting growing community, as Ordinals continue to demonstrate itself as a high-value asset. Ordinals also recently surpassed over 62 million inscriptions, generating more than $200 million in miner fees to help secure the Bitcoin network. Investors are also looking eagerly to the next Bitcoin halving, expected in April this year. That process is designed to slow the release of Bitcoin, whose supply is capped at 21 million tokens - of which 19 million have already been created. Bitcoin rallied on the previous three halvings, the most recent of which was in 2020.
All of this combined with the Ordinals community growing stronger with hundreds of builders, dozens of investors and thousands of active wallets make the conferences even more opportune.
“Driving innovation and promoting the adoption of Bitcoin is what brings the community together, and it gives everyone an opportunity to explore all the upcoming developments in the Ordinals ecosystem,” said Raph, Lead Maintainer of the Ordinals Protocol.
In addition to Xverse, the event is supported by premiere Asia-based web3 projects such as Animoca Brands’ subsidiary Darewise Entertainment who recently launched SPARKS Ordinals and the OPAL Protocol, Ordz Games, the first gamefi on Bitcoin and launching the world’s first web3 gaming device, and Ordzaar, which revolutionises the Ordinals space for its permissionless and zero creator fee launchpad, and Animoca Brands.
Event sponsors include; ALEX, Animoca Brands, Asigna, Bitcoin Frogs, Bitcoin Frontier Fund, Botanix, Fomojis, HOTFi, Liquidium, Merlin Chain, Mirror, NeoSwap, Newman Capital, Nolcha, Gamma, OKX, RuneAlpha, Stacks, Taproot Wizards, Thesis, Turtsat, and UniSat.
Ordinals Asia will also feature an unforgettable afterparty organised by Taproot Wizards.
