BRC-20 token prices

A crypto analyst behind the X handle @arndxt_xo says that BRC-20 is the leading narrative in 2024, and with Bitcoin halving less than two weeks away, whales are heavily accumulating these BTC ecosystem tokens. 

Typically, Bitcoin price rally catalyzes gains in ecosystem tokens as well. Traders can expect BRC-20 tokens to rally alongside BTC pre-halving if the trend from previous halvings repeats itself.
