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.
