ORDI price and where to buy ORDI

What is ORDI?

ORDI was the first token created with the BRC-20 standard, which uses inscriptions written into Bitcoin transactions to create tokens on Bitcoin. It has no utility beyond trading.

How to buy ORDI, step by step

1. Pick an exchange. ORDI is listed on four of the five exchanges we track. Compare fees, funding options and whether it serves your country in our exchange reviews.
2. Create and verify your account. Regulated exchanges ask for identity documents before you can deposit fiat.
3. Fund the account. A bank transfer or a stablecoin deposit usually costs far less than a card payment.
4. Buy ORDI. Use the ORDI/USDT or ORDI/USD market, and check the cheapest venue in the table above first.
5. Decide where to keep it. On the exchange is simplest, but the exchange then holds your coins. BRC-20 tokens need a wallet that supports Bitcoin inscriptions; an ordinary Bitcoin wallet can lose them.

Where to buy ORDI at the best price

The cheapest venue right now is marked in the table above. Add its trading fee before comparing: on ORDI the venues disagree by about 0.15 percent on average, so on a small purchase the fee and the funding method usually matter more.

• The trading fee. Our fee comparison lists spot fees side by side.
• How you fund the account. A bank transfer or stablecoin deposit is usually far cheaper than a card payment, which often costs several percent.

Why the ORDI price differs between exchanges

In our minute-by-minute measurement the gap between the highest and lowest venue averaged about 0.15 percent, against about 0.025 percent for Bitcoin. It went above half a percent in about 15 minutes out of every thousand, and reached about 2.3 percent at its widest.

About half of the ORDI spot volume we track trades on a single venue. The spread figure at the top of this page is the live measurement; our guide on why crypto prices differ between exchanges explains the mechanism.

What moves the ORDI price

The wider crypto market, and in ORDI’s case its own news too. In our hourly composite, ORDI moved with Bitcoin at a correlation of about 0.56, where 1 would mean identical moves, and its moves were about two and a half times the size of Bitcoin’s.

ORDI-specific drivers come on top: interest in Bitcoin inscriptions and leverage. The funding rates on this page show whether leveraged traders are paying to be long or short right now.
