加密货币公司 Kraken 计划于 2025 年 2 月停止 NFT 市场运营

分析师认为 Kraken 的这一举动有些出乎意料，考虑到 Kraken 是此类代币的主要参与者，人们对 NFT 的未来前景提出了疑问。

Kraken, a major cryptocurrency exchange, announced plans to shut down its NFT marketplace early next year. The exchange will begin winding down the marketplace on November 27.

主要加密货币交易所 Kraken 宣布计划明年初关闭其 NFT 市场。该交易所将于 11 月 27 日开始关闭市场。

After that date, users will no longer be able to bid on, list, or sell NFTs. However, users will still be able to withdraw their funds from the marketplace until February 27, 2025.

在此日期之后，用户将无法再竞标、列出或出售 NFT。不过，在 2025 年 2 月 27 日之前，用户仍然可以从市场提取资金。

The exchange said it is shifting more resources into new products and services. A Kraken spokesperson confirmed the exchange’s decision and the fate of its marketplace next year.

该交易所表示，正在将更多资源转移到新产品和服务上。 Kraken 发言人证实了该交易所的决定及其明年市场的命运。

“This was a difficult decision, given how much we've enjoyed serving our NFT community over the past two years,” the spokesperson said.

该发言人表示：“考虑到我们在过去两年中非常享受为 NFT 社区服务，这是一个艰难的决定。”

“Closing the marketplace will allow us to explore new avenues and continue developing new products and services.”

“关闭市场将使我们能够探索新途径并继续开发新产品和服务。”

Kraken said it has notified its customers of the ongoing changes, and the exchange’s support team will assist users of the NFT marketplace users in transferring their assets to other wallets or the Kraken self-custody wallet.

Kraken表示，已将正在进行的变化通知客户，交易所的支持团队将协助NFT市场用户将资产转移到其他钱包或Kraken自助钱包。

The news of the NFT marketplace closure comes just nearly a month after the cryptocurrency platform trimmed its workforce and appointed a new co-CEO.

NFT 市场关闭的消息是在该加密货币平台裁员并任命新的联合首席执行官近一个月后发布的。

In October this year, Kraken reduced its workforce by 15% after it laid off 400 employees, saying that it was part of their organizational restructuring.

今年10月，Kraken在解雇400名员工后，裁员15%，称这是其组织重组的一部分。

At the same time, the crypto platform appointed a new co-CEO, seasoned Silicon Valley executive Arjun Sethi who will help Dave Ripley in co-managing the company as it navigates towards becoming the world’s largest crypto platform.

与此同时，该加密货币平台任命了一位新的联合首席执行官、经验丰富的硅谷高管 Arjun Sethi，他将帮助 Dave Ripley 共同管理该公司，帮助该公司成为全球最大的加密货币平台。
