Nifty Gateway, an early player in the non-fungible token (NFT) industry, announced it will cease operations on February 23, 2026.

According to a post on X on January 24, it has already switched to a withdrawal-only mode, which gives users about a month to move their NFTs or funds elsewhere.

A notice about the closure now appears on the platform’s homepage. Users can transfer their assets either through a linked Gemini $495.75M Exchange account or directly to a bank via Stripe.

The company said that customers with NFTs, Ethereum ETH $2,888.34 , or US dollar balances will get email instructions and should complete withdrawals before the deadline.

Launched in 2020, Nifty Gateway helped bring NFTs to a wider audience. It stood out by allowing credit card purchases rather than requiring crypto. The marketplace gained attention for curated releases from well-known artists like Beeple and Grimes.

Gemini, which bought Nifty Gateway in 2019, said, “This decision will allow Gemini to sharpen its focus and execute on the vision of building a one-stop super app for customers". NFT functionality will still be supported through the Gemini Wallet.
