Binance to End NFT Support on Exchange, Shift to Wallet

Binance announced it is shutting down support for non-fungible tokens on Binance Exchange and moving NFT management to its self-custodial cryptocurrency wallet, Binance Wallet. The exchange said this will offer NFT holders "easier access to Web3 and decentralized features," according to a Wednesday announcement. NFT holders have until July 3 to withdraw their transferable NFTs from the platform before they become inaccessible. For non-transferable NFTs that can't be withdrawn by design, Binance Academy will provide a PDF certificate of course completion — a tidy digital souvenir for an asset you can no longer touch.

The decision is the latest sign that exchanges are winding down NFT support and refocusing on other areas, such as tokenized assets. Binance follows crypto exchange Kraken, which shut down its NFT marketplace in February 2025, and NFT marketplace OpenSea, which announced halting support for BNB Smart Chain-native NFTs in August 2023.

Binance said it will offer two promotions for NFT withdrawal fee reimbursements for one month. The first includes a reimbursement for general NFT withdrawal fees for non-CR7 NFTs. The second involves a withdrawal reimbursement for CR7 NFTs. The exchange said it will select up to 100,000 users for the reimbursement, with each receiving 1 USDC for an eligible NFT withdrawal, credited to eligible users' Binance spot accounts by July 3.

The broader NFT sector has been declining for some time. Leading NFT collections have yet to recover to their previous all-time high seen in the summer of 2022. CryptoPunks, the largest NFT collection by market capitalization, is currently trading at 30.9 ETH, down 61% from its all-time high of 80.9 ETH recorded in July 2022. The Bored Ape Yacht Club's floor price was trading at 7.9 ETH, down 93% from its all-time high of 128 ETH seen in May 2022, data from NFTPriceFloor shows.
