In March 2020, Duncan Cock Foster, who co-founded the NFT marketplace Nifty Gateway with his twin Griffin, predicted that in ten years people would commission artists to create nifties to give away at dinner parties.
Now, in 2026, the platform is officially over, underscoring how the NFT landscape has evolved since its early days.
The closure highlights shifts in how creators monetize drops and how collectors engage with digital collectibles.
The shutdown signals broader changes within the NFT ecosystem as projects pivot and markets reassess strategy.
Industry observers reflect on the platform’s role in popularizing nifties and the lessons learned for future NFT marketplaces, investment models, and creator economies.
