The trading volume of wash sales in the Ethereum NFT market accounts for 1.8% of the total trading volume, reaching the lowest level in a year
The Block reported that the wash trading volume in the Ethereum NFT market has dropped to its lowest level in over a year.
According to The Block Pro's data dashboard, on January 9th and January 13th, wash trading accounted for 1.8% of the total USD trading volume. This ratio is much lower than the 36.2% on January 1st, 2023, and also the lowest point since May 1st, 2022 when it was at 0.35%.
Rebecca Stevens, Senior Research Analyst at The Block, said: "Blur is actively trying to filter out wash traders from their airdrops, which reduces the appeal of wash trading. In addition to some NFT market tokens experiencing a decrease in valuation, this has led to an ongoing decline in overall wash trading."
It is reported that wash trading is a form of market manipulation where individuals trade assets among themselves artificially inflating prices or liquidity.

In the third quarter, Korean retail investors made net purchases of US stocks worth approximately 10.15 trillion won, marking a complete reversal from the previous pattern in the first half of the year, when they made net purchases of nearly 100 trillion won in KOSPI stocks. In September alone, the sell-off amount reached as high as 14.2 trillion won. Analysts attribute this shift to a combination of factors: a sharp decline in KOSPI at high levels, the continued strength of the US stock market driven by AI themes, and the appreciation of the Korean won reducing currency exchange costs.
