⛵️ NFT Marketplace for ‘Pro Traders’ Could Unseat OpenSea
NFT marketplace Blur has quickly become a primary trading venue since its October launch. Rivaling OpenSea — the largest NFT marketplace by trading volume and daily active users — Blur currently commands around 32% market share, with OpenSea at nearly 49%. While OpenSea is a singular venue, Blur also serves as an NFT market aggregator. It’s now the largest by far with more than 70% of the market, per a Dune Analytics dashboard (aggregators allow NFT browsing across multiple platforms simultaneously). Sara Gherghelas, a researcher at blockchain analytics unit DappRadar, told Blockworks that the recent increase in trading volume on Blur is likely correlated to the upcoming launch of the BLUR token on Feb. 14 and its third and final airdrop. Its initial airdrop rewarded so-called “care packages” to users who actively traded NFTs during the bear market — to claim, traders simply had to list an NFT on its platform. Care packages are meant to be eventually exchanged for BLUR. A similar approach was implemented for the second airdrop — where users were rewarded for listing NFT sales on its Blur.
