Wash trading will cause crypto’s next implosion: Mark Cuban

Crypto token wash trading on centralized exchanges will be the cause of the next crypto “implosion,” according to billionaire Dallas Mavericks owner and crypto investor 

Wash trading isn’t just limited to centralized exchanges, however. On Jan. 5, Quantum Economics CEO and former eToro senior market analyst Mati Greenspan said that 42% of all NFT volume is wash traded.

He added that wash trading is also used to harvest tax losses, making it appear (to the taxman) that there has been a greater loss than in reality.
