Major liquidity providers have pulled their bids ahead of next week\u2019s Blast token launch.<\/p>\n

Other popular collections aren\u2019t faring much better, with DeGods plummeting 32% and Azuki dropping 15%. Meanwhile, CryptoPunks are down 13% and trading at their lowest level since November 2023.<\/p>\n

NFT marketplace Blur has been running an airdrop farming campaign where users are rewarded with [REDACTED], powered by Blast. Traders assume that this will be in the form of the Blast Layer 2 network\u2019s upcoming token, set to launch on June 26.<\/p>\n

Blur users earn points by bidding on NFTs and providing loan liquidity through the Blend protocol. Blur\u2019s incentive structure has been controversial as the liquidity often isn\u2019t indicative of true demand, leaving collectors reluctant to enter the market.<\/p>\n

On June 17, more than $16 million was withdrawn from the Blur bid pool, representing a fifth of available buy-side liquidity, according to a Dune dashboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n
