CoinMarketCap melaporkan Blur akan menutup situs platform perdagangan NFT-nya pada 12 November dan berhenti mengatur pinjaman baru melalui Blend, meskipun kontrak pintar Ethereum-nya tetap beroperasi. Volume perdagangan bulanan platform itu merosot lebih dari 99,5% dari puncak sekitar US$1,43 miliar pada Maret 2023 menjadi kurang dari US$7 juta pada Maret 2026. Selama tiga tahun terakhir, pasar tanpa biaya ini tidak menghasilkan pendapatan protokol. Penutupan ini menyusul pengumuman penghentian Blast, proyek lain yang dibuat Tieshun Roquerre. Setelah pengumuman, token BLUR turun lebih dari 20%. Blur pernah menjadi salah satu pasar terbesar untuk perdagangan NFT Ethereum. Platform menyatakan situsnya akan tutup pada 12 November dan layanan pinjaman NFT, Blend, akan berhenti mengatur pinjaman baru. Peminjam harus melunasi pinjaman pada tanggal tersebut atau membiarkan pinjaman itu gagal bayar. Blur berencana menyediakan alat terpisah setelah tanggal tersebut agar pengguna dapat menarik aset dari Blend. Kontrak pintar yang mendasari Blur akan terus beroperasi di Ethereum, artinya penutupan ini tidak menghapus sistem perdagangan berbasis blockchain tersebut. Pemegang token BLUR masih akan mengendalikan saklar biaya, yakni mekanisme pemungutan suara yang menentukan apakah biaya transaksi diaktifkan. Keputusan ini muncul setelah Blast, jaringan penskalaan Ethereum yang dibuat Roquerre, lebih dikenal sebagai Pacman, dan dikembangkan oleh tim di balik Blur, mengumumkan penghentian pada 2 Oktober. Blast sebelumnya menarik lebih dari US$2 miliar aset dengan memberi imbalan kepada pengguna yang menyetor dana. Saat pengembang mengumumkan penghentiannya, jumlah itu turun menjadi sekitar US$32 juta, dan pengembang menyebut biaya operasional jaringan melebihi pendapatannya. Kebangkitan Blur juga sama pesatnya. Diluncurkan pada 2022, platform ini menantang pemimpin pasar saat itu, OpenSea, dengan menawarkan eksekusi perdagangan lebih cepat, biaya lebih rendah, dan imbalan token bagi pedagang profesional. Strategi ini membantu Blur menguasai lebih dari 70% volume perdagangan NFT Ethereum pada Maret 2023. Menurut data DefiLlama, volume perdagangan bulan itu sekitar US$1,43 miliar. Pada Maret 2026, volume bulanan tersebut turun menjadi kurang dari US$7 juta, penurunan lebih dari 99,5%. Pasar Blur tidak menghasilkan pendapatan biaya transaksi dari aktivitas perdagangan itu. Platform tidak membebankan biaya kepada pedagang, dan catatan Token Terminal menunjukkan meskipun volume perdagangan NFT mencapai miliaran dolar, pendapatan protokolnya US$0 selama tiga tahun terakhir. Data ini tidak menunjukkan apakah Blur memperoleh pendapatan melalui layanan pinjaman atau aktivitas lain. Program insentif agresif Blur dikritik karena mendorong perdagangan spekulatif dan menekan royalti yang diperoleh kreator NFT. Berdasarkan data transaksi saja, tidak mungkin menentukan berapa banyak aktivitas ini berasal dari pembeli sungguhan versus pengguna yang bertransaksi semata-mata demi imbalan. Berbeda dari Blast, Blur tidak secara publik mengaitkan penutupan ini dengan kerugian operasional. Setelah pengumuman Senin, BLUR turun lebih dari 20% dan diperdagangkan sekitar US$0,015. Pengguna Blast dapat menarik aset melalui antarmuka standar jaringan hingga 26 Oktober. Penutupan terpisah Blur dijadwalkan pada 12 November.

A whale opened four new wallets about four months ago and started trading on Hyperliquid. The trader has completed 15 trades with $29.75 million in cumulative profit, and nearly all were profitable. The whale again opened a long position in ETH, holding 24,000 ETH worth about $60.7 million, with unrealized profit at $2.6 million.

The top seven token unlocks this week are led by PUMP at $40.11 million, followed by ARB, DBR, and STRK, according to Cryptorank. These scheduled releases highlight the largest upcoming token supply events among the seven tracked projects.

$XRP anjlok 3%, tertinggal dari $BTC dan $ETH, meski debut @evernorthxrp yang didukung Ripple di Nasdaq sudah lama dinanti-nanti.

BitMine bought 12,532 ETH in the week to October 11, 2026, raising its treasury to 6,028,946 ETH, or 4.9% of Ethereum's 122.1 million supply. Chairman Tom Lee said the company needs about 100,000 more ETH to reach its 5% target, after which it is done stacking. BitMine has staked 5,067,309 ETH, 84% of its holdings, and Lee projected $336 million in annualized staking revenue.

Blur, once the largest marketplace for Ethereum NFTs, will close its website on Nov. 12 after trading activity fell more than 99% from its peak. The move marks the second major retreat in ten days for projects built by crypto entrepreneur Tieshun Roquerre. Blur said Monday that its NFT lending service, Blend, will stop arranging new loans. Borrowers have until Nov. 12 to repay or default. After that, Blur plans to provide a separate tool for withdrawing assets from Blend. The underlying smart contracts for Blur will remain operational on Ethereum, so the shutdown does not eliminate the blockchain-based trading system. BLUR tokenholders will retain control of the fee switch, a mechanism that lets them vote on whether the marketplace should start charging trading fees. The decision follows the Oct. 2 shutdown announcement from Blast, an Ethereum scaling network also created by Roquerre, better known as Pacman, and developed by the Blur team. Blast once attracted more than $2 billion in assets, partly through rewards for users who deposited funds. That figure had fallen to about $32 million when developers announced the closure, saying the network cost more to operate than it generated in revenue. Blur rose just as dramatically. Launched in 2022, it challenged the then leader OpenSea by offering professional traders faster transactions, low fees and token rewards. The strategy helped Blur capture more than 70% of Ethereum NFT trading volume in March 2023, when activity on the platform reached about $1.43 billion, DefiLlama data shows. By March 2026, monthly volume had fallen below $7 million, a decline of more than 99.5%. The marketplace generated no revenue from transaction fees during that trading boom. It charged traders nothing, and Token Terminal records $0 in protocol revenue over the past three years despite billions of dollars in NFT trades. That figure does not establish whether Blur earned money from its lending service or other activities. The aggressive incentive programs at Blur drew criticism for encouraging speculative trading and putting pressure on royalties paid to NFT creators. Trading figures alone do not show how much activity came from genuine buyers rather than traders seeking rewards. Unlike Blast, Blur has not publicly attributed its shutdown to operating losses. Its website still advertises zero marketplace fees and more than $7.4 billion in lifetime trading volume, a reminder of how quickly the business once grew. BLUR fell more than 20% after the Monday announcement, trading around $0.015. Blast users have until Oct. 26 to withdraw through the regular network interface. Blur will follow with its separate shutdown on Nov. 12.

SkyAI has sold 1.07 million SOL after holding 2 million SOL worth about $214 million. The firm disclosed the sale and said more reductions may follow. Onchain data shows it moved 1.57 million SOL worth about $175 million in October. Its average cost near $194 leaves an unrealized loss above $160 million.

On October 12, 2026, NFT marketplace Blur announced it will shut down its frontend on November 12, 2026. Its lending protocol Blend will stop matching new loans the same day. Existing borrowers must repay before the deadline. The BLUR token fell over 16% in 24 hours, dropping below 0.015 USDT. The protocol remains onchain and the fee switch stays active. Users are advised to revoke authorizations.
