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. 

Vendite mensili e operazioni di lavaggio su Ethereum nel 2023

Febbraio, marzo e aprile si distinguono come punti salienti per il wash trading su Ethereum, con un valore totale combinato di oltre 3.135 miliardi di dollari. Al culmine del wash trading il 4 marzo 2023, le transazioni giornaliere di wash trade di NFT su Ethereum hanno raggiunto 49,806 rispetto alle 2,743 del 16 aprile 2022, l'apice del token farming di $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.  

Sebbene il valore delle vendite di wash trading sia diminuito dallo scorso anno, il numero di transazioni è cresciuto di quasi 20 volte, mostrano i dati di 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).

Evidenziando l'estensione delle pratiche dei trader, CryptoSlam ha scoperto 31 miliardi di dollari di volume di vendite di wash trade di tutti i tempi su Ethereum, per un totale del 41% dei 74 miliardi di dollari di vendite della blockchain. Altri 330 milioni di dollari in operazioni di lavaggio si riflettono sulle altre 10 principali blockchain NFT, rappresentando una percentuale molto inferiore delle loro vendite di tutti i tempi. 

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.
