Blur is closing. The NFT market downturn is getting harder to ignore

Blur will retire its trading website on November 12, leaving its marketplace contracts on Ethereum while its Blend lending service stops matching new loans. Its exit from the interface business follows the closures or contraction of several NFT venues. The distinction between an NFT, the contract that transfers it and the website through which a holder can manage it now matters more than the industry's old volume rankings. Blur's website will close on November 12, 2026, while its Ethereum marketplace contracts remain operational.
