OpenSea NFT Marketplace, which is based in the U.S., has begun to ban Iranian users from their platform. It caused an outcry from NFT collectors.

OpenSea Iranian users began posting to Twitter on Thursday morning (NYSE:), claiming that their accounts had been deactivated and deleted without prior notice. Iranian NFT artist “Bornosor” vented frustrations to their 4,700 followers, in a tweet that quickly gained traction, garnering 342 retweets and over a thousand likes within a few hours.
