What changes

Blur’s official post says the change applies only to its frontend. Blend will stop matching new loans on November 12; borrowers can repay by then or allow their loans to default. Blur says it will provide a frontend tool after that date to help users withdraw assets from Blend. Blur’s announcement

Why BLUR fell

The announcement signals the loss of Blur’s main user-facing marketplace and the end of new Blend lending, raising uncertainty about future use of the protocol and the value investors assign to BLUR’s fee-switch role. The timing and magnitude of the drop are reported by CoinGecko, while the roughly 32% 24-hour move is also reflected in exchange quotes. CoinGecko’s post Coin Bureau’s report

Loan recalls

Coin Bureau reported that more than 1,000 ETH in Blend loans had been recalled and warned that defaults could lead to collateral sales. The official announcement confirms the repay-or-default deadline, but the 1,000 ETH figure and forced-sale scenario remain reporting and market concerns, not figures confirmed by Blur’s post.
