After raising $50 million and earning support from industry giants like Hello Kitty and Nickelodeon, Recur NFT platform announces its impending shutdown amid the ongoing blockchain challenges.

With this announcement of business closure, Recur will be the latest NFT platform to fold amid the recent difficulties in the blockchain and Web3 sphere. The company is known to offer the generation of digital items, including in-game NFTs and other customizable assets.

Recur said the shutdown of its platform will happen in the coming months. A social media post explained they made the decision after much contemplation and consideration, and the discontinuance will formally take effect on Nov. 16.

This is an unfortunate development for the company that, at some point, was able to establish remarkable collaborations with big names, including Hello Kitty and Nickelodeon. As the company ceases the operation of its NFT platform, users will see core features on the site being disabled one by one.

From the withdrawals of stablecoins to retrieval of NFTs to buy and sell deals on Recur’s integrated marketplaces, these will gradually vanish until users can no longer do any transactions. People are advised to withdraw their digital assets and topped-up balances starting Aug. 31 until the second week of November.

BSC News reported that Recur had to make this unexpected move due to unforeseen changes in the market on top of the challenges it had to face. There is also a notable slowdown in the demand for NFTs and other digital collectibles.

Meanwhile, Recur was founded in 2021, and within a short time, it established itself as a reliable NFT platform that provides inventive Web3 building blocks for various markets and businesses. Its valuation rose to $333 million in 2021 after a Series A round that was led by hedge fund mogul Steve Cohen.
