BlueMove NFT marketplace to close on the Sei network due to low transactions.
The NFT market faces a downturn with record-low trading and user engagement.
The NFT crisis led to drops in BlueMove and top collections’ prices; OpenSea, Blur, and ParaSpace were also impacted.

BlueMove, a pioneering NFT marketplace operating across the Aptos and Sui blockchains, recently revealed plans to suspend operations on the Sei network due to lower-than-expected transaction volumes.

Effective August 31 at 4:00 UTC, the closure aims to safeguard users’ assets, urging them to delist their NFTs during this period.

Launched in August 2022, BlueMove rapidly emerged as an influential player in the NFT arena, capitalizing on the strengths of the Aptos and Sui blockchains.

However, despite its promising start, the project found itself succumbing to the NFT crisis exactly a year after inception, underscoring the challenges even well-established platforms face in the volatile NFT market.

Recent data reflects a substantial downturn in the NFT sector, with a meager 5000 ETH in trading volume over the past week – the lowest in two years. Furthermore, NFT trading engagement has hit a two-year nadir, signaling a broader market trend.

This setback is not isolated to BlueMove. In July 2023, Forbes highlighted significant drops in floor prices for revered NFT collections.

Esteemed projects like CryptoPunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club, Mutant Apes, and Azuki suffered declines of up to 62% within a single month, illustrating the broader challenges faced by NFT platforms.

As the industry contends with adversity, even prominent marketplaces like OpenSea, Blur, and ParaSpace find themselves navigating turbulent waters. The future of NFTs remains uncertain, and industry participants must navigate carefully in this ever-changing landscape.
