<p>The heightened interest in PUPS is driven by the upcoming launch of Runes. The protocol introduces a novel UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output)- based fungible token system to the Bitcoin blockchain, aiming to simplify the creation and management of tokens. The BRC-20 token is set to transition to Runes later this month as the protocol becomes available alongside the&nbsp;<a href="https://crypto.news/understanding-bitcoin-halving-impact-and-importance/" target="_blank" rel="">Bitcoin halving</a>.</p>
