\u201cIt seems that organic trading is indeed increasing in LooksRare. The difference between selling expensive NFTs like BAYC on LooksRare rather than OpenSea can become a 1-2 Ether difference that the seller saves.

Although this success may not be long-lived. Wash trading in other markets is considered an illegal act. Chainalysis made a point of this in a report<\/a> and recommends LooksRare to discourage the activity of wash trading.
