GameStop GameStop NFT Marketplace

The shop closed. The stock is still on the shelves, in someone else's shop.

GameStop launched an NFT marketplace in July 2022 on Immutable X and Loopring, positioning itself as the retailer for a digital-goods economy. It closed on 2 February 2024, with the company pointing to continuing regulatory uncertainty. Buying, selling and minting stopped; the tokens themselves stayed on-chain and accessible through other platforms, which is precisely the awkward part.

No single contract

This was a platform or marketplace rather than one collection, so there is no canonical address to record. Rather than pick one and imply it stands for the whole thing, the field is left empty.
