Ethereum NFT Marketplace Blur to Shutter After Trading Volume Vanishes

Once the largest Ethereum NFT marketplace around, Blur said this week that it will shut off its frontend in November, concluding its run as recent trading volume sat at a fraction of its previous peaks. Blur’s “frontend will be deprecated on Nov. 12, 2026,” according to a Monday post on X , meaning that the marketplace website will no longer be available for traders. The underlying trading protocol will continue to function and can be accessed via smart contract interactions and aggregators, but the branded Blur marketplace will cease to exist this time next month.
