Gemini to shut down Nifty Gateway NFT marketplace in February
Nifty Gateway has entered withdrawal-only mode as Gemini prepares to close the marketplace, raising concerns about the accessibility of some NFTs.
Gemini announced it will shut down its NFT marketplace Nifty Gateway in February, ending one of the sector’s earliest and most recognizable platforms [2][4].
The platform entered withdrawal-only mode on Friday, meaning users can no longer list, purchase, or sell NFTs on Nifty Gateway and must withdraw assets from the service [2][1].
Observers warn that Nifty Gateway’s reliance on private servers risks rendering a swath of NFTs permanently inaccessible or broken as the marketplace winds down, creating potential challenges for holders who must act to secure their items [3][4].
With the platform scheduled to close in February, holders are being directed to withdraw assets from Nifty Gateway while awareness grows about potential permanence issues for NFTs hosted off-chain [2][3][4].
