Once-prominent NFT marketplace Nifty Gateway to wind down operations
The Gemini-owned NFT platform will close on Feb. 23, 2026, entering withdrawal-only mode as another major casualty of the sector’s prolonged downturn.
Nifty Gateway, one of the earliest and most recognizable NFT marketplaces, is set to shut down operations next month, marking another high-profile exit amid the sector’s prolonged downturn.
“Today, we are announcing that the Nifty Gateway platform will be closing on February 23, 2026,” the Gemini-owned platform wrote in a Saturday post on X, adding that it has already entered withdrawal-only mode, giving users roughly one month to move any remaining NFTs or funds off the site.
A shutdown notice is now displayed on Nifty Gateway’s homepage, and users can withdraw assets either through a linked Gemini Exchange account or directly to their bank via Stripe.
