MakersPlace announces shock closure 😔

NFT art marketplace MakersPlace has announced its shock closure, closing down immediately after a 6-year tenure.

In a statement on January 16, MakersPlace said that; “Despite our existing runway, with these market conditions, we anticipate significant challenges in securing further investment which would make it difficult, if not impossible, to pursue our mission to champion digital art, sustain operations, and deliver meaningful returns to our shareholders.”

Big names in NFT art have offered their condolences, including Beeple, David Ariew, Rebecca Rose and many more.
