Why Blur’s Website Shutdown Sparks Optimism Among NFT Traders

Blur, one of the best-known NFT trading platforms of the past cycle, says it will shut down its website next month. The decision follows a period of shrinking NFT volumes since the market’s boom years, and it also revives debate over the royalty incentives that helped Blur rise in 2023. According to a post by Blur on X, the platform’s frontend will close on Nov. 12 . Blur said its onchain marketplace will continue operating, distinguishing the shutdown from a total system exit.
