NFT Marketplace to Shut Down Amid Market Challenges
08.08.2024 19:00 1 min. read Alexander Stefanov
Immutable, a key player in the NFT and blockchain gaming space, is closing its NFT marketplace on August 13, with a full redirection by September 27.
Originally created to demonstrate the Immutable SDK’s features, the marketplace will now pivot to supporting other platforms within the ecosystem. Immutable aims to boost these external marketplaces rather than compete with them directly.
The company assures users that their blockchain assets will remain accessible through any marketplace, maintained by the Immutable Global Orderbook.
This move follows GameStop’s February shutdown of its NFT marketplace, which had partnered with Immutable, citing regulatory uncertainties as the reason.
The NFT market has been volatile, with sales volumes dropping significantly from $1.29 billion in February to $429.93 million in July, according to CryptoSlam. Despite this, Q2 2024 saw an 8% increase in sales volume compared to the same period last year.
