GameStop shut down its NFT marketplace last month, citing “regulatory uncertainty”.
The announcement came from GameStop’s partner Loopring who facilitated the company’s marketplace.

GameStop has been playing around with crypto and NFTs in recent years, likely due to the surge of interest lay investors created a few years ago when they tried to capitalize on a short squeeze. This caused the stock price of GameStop to unnaturally surge beyond 5x its current price ($14.33 at the time of writing).
