Porsche has ended PIONΞERS CIRCLE, its 911-themed NFT project, leaving holders with tokens that remain on-chain but have lost most of their market value. The collection launched in 2023 with a mint price of 0.911 ETH, or about $1,400 at the time. Roughly a month later, the floor price climbed above 3 ETH, equivalent to around $5,100, before sliding to 0.077 ETH, or about $200. That puts the collection down more than 96% from its peak and about 85% below the original mint price. The company did not give a detailed reason for ending the project. In a statement posted on X, Porsche described the initiative as a space for "experimentation" and a "shared adventure," adding that it would keep evolving as this chapter comes to an end. Porsche also said the NFTs will stay with their current holders and continue to exist on the blockchain. The shutdown comes as the automaker faces broader business pressure, including reported job cuts, weaker deliveries, and a sharp decline in its XETRA-listed stock over the past year.

PIONΞERS CIRCLE offered holders access to events, awards, and other opportunities tied to Porsche’s 911-themed NFTs. Porsche did not spell out why the project was closed, but in a statement on X it described the initiative as a place for “experimentation” and a “shared adventure.”

The company said: “As this journey draws to a close, Porsche continues to evolve, adapting to new opportunities and shaping the future in its own way.”

Floor price dropped from above 3 ETH to 0.077 ETH

When the collection launched in 2023, minting one Porsche 911 NFT cost 0.911 ETH, worth roughly $1,400 at the time. About one month later, the floor price rose to more than 3 ETH, then valued at around $5,100.

Since then, the floor price has fallen to 0.077 ETH, or about $200. Protos said that marks a decline of more than 96% from the high and leaves the collection about 85% below its original 0.911 ETH mint price.

Despite the shutdown, Porsche said the NFTs will remain with their respective holders and continue to exist on the blockchain.

Shutdown comes alongside broader pressure on Porsche

The report said Porsche dropped out of Germany’s DAX stock index last year after a weak year for profits. Michael Leiters took over in January 2026 as the company was already scaling back what the report described as its “ultra-ambitious” electric vehicle production plans.

Porsche reportedly said this year that it would cut 3,900 jobs by 2030 and another 5,000 by 2035. In the first half of 2026, deliveries in China reportedly fell by 32%, while overall deliveries dropped 16.5%.

The company still reported a 34% rise in profit, but its XETRA stock price is down almost 39% over the last year, according to the report.
