Over US$635 million of Ethereum non-fungible token sales in April were wash trades, which made up nearly 60% of all NFT trades on the blockchain for the month, according to new data from CryptoSlam ,

The new data also revealed wash trading activities on Solana , Binance , Polygon , Cardano , Flow and Arbitrum , which had been largely unknown until now. According to CryptoSlam, wash trades are transactions made without the intent to take a genuine position in the market.

Blur marketplace’s point farming is the primary driver of Ethereum NFT wash trades, leading to US$3.4 billion worth of NFT trades being flagged as wash sales so far this year . Blur traders’ bids and listings are incentivized by the marketplace’s points — the platform’s loyalty system — fueling some traders’ reliance on bulk wash sales to maximize points, which is subsequently rewarded in the form of Blur’s utility token, $BLUR. 

In March , over US$1.1 billion, or 66% of all NFT sales on Ethereum, were wash trades. However, the single highest wash trading day occurred on Feb. 20 , days after the launch of $BLUR. Traders aggressively farmed points to earn more $BLUR token rewards, resulting in over 85% of the day’s sales volume, valued at US$295 million, being flagged as wash trades. 

Ventas mensuales y transacciones de lavado en Ethereum en 2023

Febrero, marzo y abril se destacan como puntos altos para el comercio de lavado en Ethereum, con un valor total combinado de más de US $ 3.135 mil millones. En el punto máximo de las operaciones de lavado el 4 de marzo de 2023, las transacciones diarias de operaciones de lavado de NFT en Ethereum alcanzaron las 49,806 2,743 en comparación con las 16 del 2022 de abril de XNUMX, el vértice de la agricultura de tokens de $LOOKS.

Similar to $BLUR token farming in 2023, traders in early 2022 were farming $LOOKS tokens at the then-new LooksRare marketplace. CryptoSlam’s data has revealed $LOOKS farming as the driving factor behind US$819 million in wash sales that took place on Jan. 19, 2022 , the most successful day for wash trading ever. Over US$18 billion in wash trades were flagged in January and February 2022.  

Aunque el valor de las ventas comerciales de lavado ha disminuido desde el año pasado, la cantidad de transacciones ha crecido casi 20 veces, según muestran los datos de CryptoSlam.

The top two wash-traded collections across all blockchains are Ethereum’s Terraforms and Meebits , with US$11.5 billion and US$9 billion in flagged trades, respectively. Standout NFTs from these collections include Terraforms #4206 , which has been wash traded for 86,905.12 ETH (US$242.97 million), and Meebit #13824 for 29,453.9 ETH (US$99. 4 million).

Destacando el alcance de las prácticas de los comerciantes, CryptoSlam ha descubierto US$ 31 mil millones en volumen de ventas comerciales de lavado de todos los tiempos en Ethereum, totalizando el 41% de los US$ 74 mil millones en ventas de blockchain. Otros 330 millones de dólares estadounidenses en operaciones de lavado se reflejan en las otras 10 principales cadenas de bloques NFT, lo que representa un porcentaje mucho menor de sus ventas de todos los tiempos. 

Wash trading is expected to continue and possibly increase on Ethereum as traders use liquidity-providing tools like BenDAO , NFTfi and Blur’s new Blend lending protocol to pursue more platform rewards in Blur’s Season 2.
