What Happens to Your NFTs After JPG Store Shuts Down?

[cryptobro]

Q: Is JPG Store still operating?
No. JPG Store announced its permanent shutdown on May 23, 2026. Since April 23, the platform has been in restriction mode — new listings, offers, loans, and minting are all disabled, though existing listings can still be purchased and active orders can be cancelled.

Q: What happens to NFTs held in wallets?
Users with NFTs in self-custody wallets do not need to take any action. Their assets remain fully accessible through other platforms that aggregate JPG Store smart contracts or through the Cardano CLI.

Q: Is JPG Store the only marketplace to close recently?
No. JPG Store's closure is part of a broader trend — Nifty Gateway shut down in February 2026, and Immutable also wound down its marketplace amid declining trading volumes across the NFT sector.

JPG Store, Nifty Gateway, and Immutable all closing within months of each other isn't a coincidence — it's a sector-wide liquidity problem. NFT trading volumes never recovered post-2022 and the fee models that sustained these platforms simply stopped working.
