 <p>The registration of new user accounts has already been discontinued, and all remaining site functionalities will end by Nov. 16, 2023.</p> 
 <p>Recur has issued guidance for users on withdrawing NFTs and the redemption of any remaining balances. A significant part of the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="shutdown" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/shutdown.html">shutdown</a> process is the transfer of metadata for NFTs minted directly on Recur to the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS).</p>

 <p>This decentralized storage protocol will make the data accessible, ensuring that information related to users’ NFTs will be available even after the platform’s closure.</p> 
 <p>Recur’s decision to cease operations follows previous successful fundraising efforts, including a $5 million seed round and the substantial $50 million Series A funding, which valued the company at $333 million.</p> 
 <p>The reasons behind the closure remain undisclosed, but the team has alluded to unexpected challenges and changes in the business environment.</p> 
 <p>The announcement coincides with a general downturn in the NFT market. Figures from CryptoSlam reveal that the total value of NFT sales on Ethereum has dropped significantly from over $4.9 billion in January 2022 to roughly $272 million in July 2023.</p>
