NFT 市场长期低迷，MakersPlace 宣布关闭

该平台于 2018 年推出，专门从事数字艺术 NFT 的创建和销售，但面临着难以克服的财务挑战

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

由于 NFT 市场长期低迷，创建和销售数字艺术 NFT 的平台 MakersPlace 宣布关闭。

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

该平台于 2018 年推出，并于 2025 年 1 月 15 日宣布，在面临财务困难后将停止运营。

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 的内容经理布雷迪·埃文·沃克 (Brady Evan Walker) 表示，做出这一决定是由于“持续的市场挑战和融资困难”。这一公告发布之际，该平台曾在普及数字艺术 NFT 方面发挥了重要作用，突显了 NFT 行业当前的不稳定状况，该行业已出现 2020 年以来的最低表现。

Transition and Closure Details for Users

用户的过渡和关闭详细信息

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.

虽然 MakersPlace 上的新账户创建和铸币已立即停止，但该平台将继续运行，供现有用户购买 NFT，直到完全关闭。

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 将推出一款转账工具，帮助用户将 NFT 移出平台，最终转账截止日期为 2025 年 6 月。该公司保证，在以太坊上铸造的所有 NFT 仍可通过二级市场访问。

Financial Outcomes and Industry Impact

财务成果和行业影响

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 在巅峰时期吸引了大量投资，于 2021 年从 Pantera Capital、Coinbase Ventures 和索尼音乐娱乐等重量级支持者那里获得了 3000 万美元的投资。

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 年开始的 NFT 交易量大幅下降对 MakersPlace 产生了重大影响。该平台关闭之前，整个行业经历了一系列关闭，而 Recur 和 Voice 等其他市场也因监管挑战和用户兴趣下降而关闭。

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 市场曾经由备受瞩目的藏品和数字艺术家推动，现在正在考虑其未来。然而，行业数据仍然乐观。 Animoca Brands 董事长 Yat Siu 等人士表示，尽管当前市场低迷，但 NFT 将会复苏，超越昔日的辉煌。
