Who still remembers BLUR back in the day? It was the most dazzling star of the 2023 NFT bull market, once hailed as the end of OpenSea and the new king of NFT trading.

How crazy was its peak? In just two months after launch, it completely crushed OpenSea, with monthly trading volume soaring to $1 billion, pressing the veteran leader into the ground. Paradigm, a top-tier VC, led a $11 million seed round, and a host of crypto whales and NFT influencers like Maji and others came together to support it. Top-tier NFTs like BAYC and Azuki were traded wildly on the platform. The first-season airdrops made many early users wealthy—Maji alone received nearly 1.85 million tokens, worth over a million dollars at the time. The token price shot above $5 upon launch, with a market cap once soaring into the billions. Everyone was shouting, “The future of NFT trading is Blur.”
Just look at this daily chart: from its all-time high, it has been steadily declining, dropping from $5 to the current $0.02, a decline of over 99%, almost wiped out completely. Early spot users who bought in at any point are now deeply trapped at the top; even holding until now, they’re left with almost nothing—barely enough to break even. No matter how glorious the myth, it couldn’t withstand the scythe of the bear market.
Even more ironic, platform trading volume has dried up completely, and the NFT market has cooled off entirely. The once top-trading pairs now lack liquidity, and the so-called “NFT revolution” has become a joke. Celebrity endorsements, VC backing, technological innovation—all bubbles that burst in the face of the bear market. What should fall still falls; what should go to zero still goes to zero.
Blur’s fate is a microcosm of the entire NFT track: as wild as it was, it’s now desolate. The crypto world has never had eternal legends—only eternal harvests. No matter how dazzling a star is, it ultimately cannot escape the fate of zero.
