What Are Bitcoin Ecosystem Coins?
Bitcoin ecosystem coins are Bitcoin itself plus the tokens that are created on Bitcoin or built around it. This list ranks them by market cap, with live prices. It covers BTC, BRC-20 tokens, Runes tokens, and tokens of Bitcoin layers and Bitcoin DeFi projects.
Quick Facts
- Blockchain type: Layer 1 blockchain, the first cryptocurrency network
- Launch: The Bitcoin network launched in 2009
- Creator: Satoshi Nakamoto, an unknown person or group
- Native coin: Bitcoin (BTC)
- Consensus: Proof of Work
- Token standards: BRC-20 (based on Ordinals inscriptions) and Runes
How the Bitcoin Blockchain Works
Miners use computers to solve hard math puzzles. The winner adds a new block of transactions and earns new BTC plus fees. This process is called Proof of Work. Bitcoin has no smart contracts like Ethereum. Tokens on Bitcoin use extra data stored inside normal Bitcoin transactions. Ordinals launched in 2023 and made it possible to inscribe data on single satoshis, the smallest unit of BTC. BRC-20 tokens use these inscriptions. Runes launched in 2024 at the Bitcoin halving and offer a simpler way to create tokens.
Types of Tokens on Bitcoin
- Native coin: BTC, used to pay fees and to send value.
- BRC-20 tokens: Tokens made with Ordinals inscriptions, such as ORDI and SATS.
- Runes tokens: Tokens made with the Runes protocol, such as DOG.
- Bitcoin layer tokens: Tokens of networks that build on top of Bitcoin, such as Stacks (STX) and projects in its ecosystem.
- BTCfi tokens: Tokens of apps that let people earn yield or borrow with BTC.
- Meme coins: Many BRC-20 and Runes tokens are community meme coins.
How to Buy Bitcoin Tokens
- Use a wallet that supports Ordinals, BRC-20 or Runes. A basic BTC wallet may not show these tokens.
- Hold some BTC to pay network fees.
- Buy the token on a marketplace or exchange that supports the token standard, or on a centralized exchange that lists it.
- Check the exact token name or ID, since many tokens use similar tickers.
Risks
Most BRC-20 and Runes tokens are small and have low liquidity. Fees on Bitcoin can rise sharply when the network is busy, which makes small trades expensive. Sending tokens with the wrong wallet can lose them. Bitcoin layers and bridges add extra smart contract and custody risk.

- What is the difference between BRC-20 and Runes?
BRC-20 and Runes are two ways to create tokens on Bitcoin. BRC-20 uses Ordinals inscriptions, which store token data as text attached to satoshis. Runes launched in 2024 and stores token data in a more compact way inside Bitcoin transactions. Runes was designed to create less extra data on the Bitcoin network.
- What are the risks of Bitcoin ecosystem tokens?
Bitcoin ecosystem tokens carry more risk than BTC itself. Many BRC-20 and Runes tokens are small, with low liquidity and large price swings. Network fees can jump when Bitcoin is busy. Using an unsupported wallet can lose tokens. Bitcoin layers and bridges also add smart contract and custody risks.
