BLUR plunged nearly 30%. The platform that once dominated the NFT market is now preparing to shut down even its website.
On 10/12, Blur announced that it would disable its official website interface on 11/12. Blend, its NFT lending protocol, will also stop matching new loans.
Following the announcement, BLUR fell sharply.
A market snapshot on 10/13 showed BLUR at around $0.01341, down 29.1% over 24 hours.
Blur once recorded monthly trading volume of around $1.43 billion in March 2023. By March 2026, that figure had fallen to less than $7 million.
Trading volume has shrunk by more than 99.5%.
More strikingly, Blur once promoted zero trading fees. According to public data, despite accumulating a large volume of trades, the protocol still generated zero revenue from marketplace trading fees.
That raises a question:
BLUR holders still have governance rights over whether protocol fees are enabled, but if users and trading volume have both disappeared, how much is that right actually worth?
It’s important to note that Blur isn’t disappearing as an on-chain protocol. Its underlying smart contracts will continue to operate.
Only the official interface is shutting down, and Blend will no longer match new loans.
For BLUR, the key to overturning today’s pessimistic outlook is whether it can rebuild meaningful trading volume and generate economic value that can be distributed.
This decline isn’t just about market sentiment. Investors are reassessing how much value a token can capture when its protocol has lost its main gateway for users.
