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].
