The NFT marketplace operated by Binance has chosen to discontinue support for Bitcoin-based NFTs starting this month due to decreasing market trends. Since April 18, Binance NFT will not allow trading or deposits of Bitcoin NFT collections. Users have been advised to transfer their Bitcoin NFTs out of the marketplace via the Bitcoin network before May 18. The platform will automatically cancel any affected listings on that date. Additionally, support for airdrops, perks, and features connected to Bitcoin NFTs will cease after April 10. The exchange has also addressed Runestone NFTs, mentioning that eligible users have already received the NFTs in their Binance accounts. However, these NFTs must be withdrawn by the following Wednesday to access associated tokens, utilities, or benefits. Binance attributed its decision to streamline its offerings based on market data indicating a significant decline in unique buyers and overall trading volume, despite a brief recovery in the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in market activity and criticism of Bitcoin NFTs contributing to network congestion likely influenced Binance's resolution.
