Crypto analytics firm Parsec closes as DeFi and NFT activity drops

2026-2-23 10:31

The crypto analytics sector is losing another player as Parsec, an on-chain data platform founded during the last major bull cycle, announced it is shutting down after five years.

The company’s closure reflects deeper changes across decentralised finance and NFT markets, where trading activity and leverage have declined from earlier peaks.

As crypto markets mature, analytics firms built around earlier trading patterns are finding it harder to remain relevant.

Parsec’s shutdown also comes amid falling Bitcoin prices, declining NFT sales, and broader signs of weakening participation across key parts of the crypto ecosystem.

Parsec confirmed its closure in a post on X on Thursday, stating that it is shutting down after years of tracking on-chain markets.

Chief executive Will Sheehan said the company’s focus on decentralised finance and NFTs became increasingly misaligned with the direction of the crypto industry.

He explained that after the collapse of FTX, decentralised finance spot lending leverage never returned to the same form.

Trading activity shifted into new patterns that differed from earlier cycles, making it harder to analyse markets using the same tools.

These changes affected platforms built to monitor decentralised finance metrics.

As market behaviour evolved, analytics products designed for earlier conditions became less relevant.

NFT decline signals weaker participation

NFT markets have seen clear declines over the past year.

Total NFT sales reached about $5.63 billion in 2025, representing a 37% drop from the $8.9 billion recorded in 2024.

Average NFT sale prices also fell year over year, dropping from $124 to $96. These declines show reduced trading intensity and fewer speculative flows.

Lower NFT activity reduced the need for specialised analytics tools focused on tracking collections and trading patterns.

Bull cycle launch could not sustain growth

Parsec launched in early January 2021, just months before Bitcoin rose from around $36,000 to approximately $60,000 by April that year.

The growth in crypto trading during that period created strong demand for analytics platforms.

The company secured backing from Uniswap, Polychain Capital, and Galaxy Digital.

These investments helped Parsec build tools designed for decentralised finance markets.

In its shutdown message, Parsec thanked users and supporters who followed its journey through changing market cycles.

Closures point to crypto consolidation

Parsec’s closure comes shortly after crypto startup Entropy announced it would shut down and return funds to investors, citing scaling difficulties and challenges in achieving product-market fit.

Industry leaders expect consolidation. Bullish chief executive Tom Farley said in a CNBC interview on Feb. 8 that crypto companies are likely to be acquired or merged.

Bitcoin has fallen from its October all-time high of $126,100 to $67,836, according to CoinMarketCap.

Google Trends shows searches for “Bitcoin going to zero” have reached their highest level since November 2022.

These trends reflect changing crypto market dynamics, where declining NFT activity and consolidation pressures are reshaping analytics platforms.
