🖼️ Blur closes its website, ending an era for the once-largest Ethereum NFT marketplace
Blur shut down the blur.io website on Nov. 12, and its NFT lending product Blend has stopped matching new loans. The marketplace contracts keep running onchain, BLUR keeps control of the protocol's fee switch, and bids and listings made on the site were canceled. A closure page will stay up until Nov. 12, 2027 so users can withdraw ETH from Blur Pool and close out open Blend loans. Monthly trading volume had collapsed more than 99%, from about $1.43B in March 2023 to under $7M in March 2026.
⭐ The closure caps the long decline of NFT trading and follows the shutdown of Blast, another project from Blur's founder, a sign that weak sectors are seeing teams wind down rather than wait for a rebound.
