Magic Eden to Close Bitcoin and EVM NFT Markets as It Pivots to Dicey Gambling Platform

Solana-based NFT marketplace Magic Eden will wind down its Bitcoin and Ethereum NFT support to concentrate on its on-chain casino and sportsbook platform Dicey. CEO Jack Lu said EVM and Bitcoin-based Runes and Ordinals markets will close on March 9, with the Bitcoin API ending March 27 and its crypto wallet shutting on April 1. The move follows a two‑month closed beta for Dicey in which about 200 users wagered over $15 million, leading the firm to prioritize iGaming and NFT packs that better support revenue.
