The service, owned by bitcoin wallet service Blockchain since 2013, did not disclose why it is closing down.
In a statement, Blockchain co-founder Nic Cary told CoinDesk that the company would continue to maintain its existing ZeroBlock mobile apps, focused on price and data.
"While we’re no longer developing the trading interface, Blockchain will continue to support and maintain the ZeroBlock apps for iOS and Android, which have very strong ratings in both app stores," he said.

What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
