A total of 400,000 new Ordinal Inscriptions were added to the Bitcoin blockchain on Aug. 7.

According to data from Glassnode, this is the second-highest number of new Inscriptions added in a 24-hour window. The previous high was recorded at the end of July when around 420,000 new Inscriptions were added.

Ordinals represent digital assets, similar to NFTs, inscribed on Bitcoinโ€™s smallest denomination โ€” the satoshi. Inscriptions saw a huge spike in popularity when launched at the beginning of the year, eventually leading to a massive increase in transaction fees that grew mining profitability.
