Blur NFT marketplace shutting down: Blur announced on Monday, October 12, 2026, that its blur.io website (the frontend) will close on November 12, 2026. The Blur NFT marketplace protocol itself keeps running on the Ethereum blockchain, so the NFTs in your wallet do not disappear.
In this Captain Fomo briefing we explain the story from the start: what an NFT is (a digital collectible you own on a blockchain), what an NFT marketplace does, and why Blur mattered as one of the biggest places to trade them. We walk through what happened in order: Blur’s monthly trading volume peaked at about $1.43 billion in March 2023 and fell to under $7 million a month three years later, according to The Block’s data, and on Monday Blur announced the shutdown.
Then we cover what users should know. Blend, Blur’s NFT lending tool, stops matching new loans on November 12; borrowers must repay before then or let the loan default, and Blur says it will provide a tool to withdraw assets from Blend after that date. The BLUR token fell sharply on the news. Watch out for fake accounts and fake announcements, and trust only Blur’s official posts.
