Blur to Shut NFT Website as BLUR Sinks and Blend Loans Face Deadline
- Published
Blur will close its web front end on Nov. 12 while keeping its on-chain marketplace and smart contracts running. Blend will stop arranging new loans on the same date, and borrowers with existing loans face a Nov. 12 deadline in one piece that says they must address them before default. One piece also says monthly marketplace trading volume has fallen more than 99% from its 2023 peak.
