Current overview (not historical)

AI overview

Blur announced that it will shut down its NFT marketplace front‑end on November 12, 2026, while the underlying protocol will remain operational on the blockchain. On the same day, its lending platform Blend will stop matching new loan requests; existing borrowers must repay or risk default before the closure. The move comes amid a broader downturn in the NFT market, with Statista projecting global NFT revenue to fall to $318.3 million in 2026, far below the 2021‑2022 peak. Blur’s decision reflects the platform’s shift away from consumer‑facing services, while Blend’s loan‑matching halt signals a tightening of credit offerings in the space.
