NFT Marketplace X2Y2 to Shut Down After Trading Volumes Collapsed
The team is pivoting to a new project involving AI-powered, decentralized financial tools.
What to know:
- X2Y2, once a major NFT marketplace, will close at the end of the month.
- The NFT market decline, with trading volumes dropping nearly 90%, led to X2Y2 struggling to maintain network effects.
- The team will transition to a new project focused on AI-powered, decentralized financial tools.
X2Y2, once a leading marketplace for non-fungible tokens (NFT) will shut on April 30, ending a three-year run that saw the exchange briefly trail only OpenSea in trading volume during the NFT boom of 2021.
The decision comes as the broader NFT market continues to deflate. Trading volumes have dropped nearly 90% since their peak, the team wrote in a post, and X2Y2 struggled to maintain the network effects critical to marketplace success.

X2Y2 started up in early 2022 and reached $5.6 billion in all-time trading volume, according to data from TokenTerminal.
Smart contracts tied to the platform will remain operational, but users are encouraged to withdraw assets or transition activity by the shutdown date. The price of the marketplace’s native X2Y2 token is down 10.7% on the announcement to now trade at little over $0.001. The token has lost 97.7% of its value over the last two years.
