- NFT holders’ assets on the blockchain will remain accessible and saleable.
- The decision to withdraw from the NFT marketplace is attributed to a lack of regulatory clarity.
Gaming retail giant GameStop has announced the imminent shutdown of its non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace, citing regulatory ambiguity in the crypto space. In a statement on the company’s website, GameStop informed users that the NFT platform would cease operations on February 2, 2024.
With just over two weeks left, users were urged to finalize any transactions or access their NFTs before the shutdown. Despite this development, GameStop assured NFT holders that the decision to withdraw from the crypto sphere would not affect the accessibility or ability to trade their NFT assets.
The company’s decision to withdraw from the NFT marketplace is attributed to the lack of regulatory clarity surrounding the crypto industry. GameStop expressed concern about the uncertain regulatory landscape and deemed it prudent to wind down its NFT offerings.
