Blur Sets November Shutdown Date for Its NFT Trading Platform

NFT marketplace Blur has announced it will shut down the blur.io frontend on November 12, 2026. The closure affects the main interface that professional NFT traders have used for bidding, listing, portfolio management, and liquidity. Significantly, the underlying marketplace protocol will remain operational on-chain. The BLUR token will continue to control its fee switch, the governance mechanism that determines whether the protocol charges fees and where that revenue goes. In addition, the announcement sent the BLUR token price down over 29% immediately after it was made. The more urgent situation is for users of Blend, Blur’s NFT lending protocol.
