NFT 市場長期低迷，MakersPlace 宣布關閉

該平台於 2018 年推出，專門從事數位藝術 NFT 的創建和銷售，但面臨著難以克服的財務挑戰

MakersPlace, a platform for creating and selling digital art NFTs, has announced its closure due to the prolonged downturn in the NFT market.

由於 NFT 市場長期低迷，創建和銷售數位藝術 NFT 的平台 MakersPlace 宣布關閉。

The platform, launched in 2018, will cease operations after facing financial difficulties, as announced on January 15, 2025.

該平台於 2018 年推出，並於 2025 年 1 月 15 日宣布，在面臨財務困難後將停止營運。

Brady Evan Walker, the content manager at MakersPlace, stated that the decision was made due to “ongoing market challenges and funding difficulties.” This announcement comes as the platform once played a significant role in popularizing digital art NFTs, underscoring the current instability in the NFT industry, which has seen its lowest performance since 2020.

MakersPlace 的內容經理 Brady Evan Walker 表示，做出這項決定是由於「持續的市場挑戰和融資困難」。這項公告發布之際，該平台曾在普及數位藝術 NFT 方面發揮了重要作用，突顯了 NFT 行業當前的不穩定性，該行業已出現 2020 年以來的最低表現。

Transition and Closure Details for Users

用戶的過渡和關閉詳細信息

While creating new accounts and minting on MakersPlace has been halted immediately, the platform will remain operational for existing users to purchase NFTs until it completely shuts down.

雖然 MakersPlace 上的新帳戶創建和鑄幣已立即停止，但該平台將繼續運行，供現有用戶購買 NFT，直到完全關閉。

In February, MakersPlace will introduce a transfer tool to assist users in moving their NFTs off the platform, with the final deadline for transfers set for June 2025. The company assures that all NFTs minted on Ethereum will still be accessible via secondary marketplaces.

今年 2 月，MakersPlace 將推出一款轉帳工具，幫助用戶將 NFT 移出平台，最終轉帳截止日期為 2025 年 6 月。

Financial Outcomes and Industry Impact

財務成果和行業影響

MakersPlace had attracted significant investment at its peak, securing $30 million in 2021 from heavyweight backers including Pantera Capital, Coinbase Ventures, and Sony Music Entertainment.

MakersPlace 在巔峰時期吸引了大量投資，並於 2021 年從 Pantera Capital、Coinbase Ventures 和索尼音樂娛樂等重量級支持者那裡獲得了 3000 萬美元的投資。

However, the broader decline in NFT trading volumes, which began in 2022, impacted MakersPlace significantly. The platform's closure follows a series of shutdowns across the industry, with other marketplaces like Recur and Voice also winding down in the face of regulatory challenges and dwindling user interest.

然而，自 2022 年開始的 NFT 交易量大幅下降對 MakersPlace 產生了重大影響。在該平台關閉之前，整個行業經歷了一系列關閉，而 Recur 和 Voice 等其他市場也因監管挑戰和用戶興趣下降而關閉。

The NFT market, once driven by high-profile collections and digital artists, is now considering its future. Industry figures, however, remain optimistic. Figures like Animoca Brands chairman Yat Siu express belief that NFTs will experience a resurgence, surpassing their former glory despite the current market woes.

NFT 市場曾經由備受矚目的收藏和數位藝術家推動，現在正在考慮其未來。然而，行業數據仍然樂觀。 Animoca Brands 董事長 Yat Siu 等人士表示，儘管當前市場低迷，但 NFT 將會復甦，超越昔日的輝煌。
