Ordinal financialization refers to the process of assigning unique, sequential identifiers to individual satoshis on the Bitcoin blockchain, enabling them to be treated as distinct, non-fungible assets. This system allows for the inscription of arbitrary data onto these specific satoshis. It thereby introduces a new layer of digital asset creation within the Bitcoin network.
Context

Proponents highlight its potential for expanding Bitcoin’s utility beyond currency, while critics express concerns about its impact on transaction processing. The long-term implications for Bitcoin’s economic model and developer priorities are under close observation.
