It's called wash trading and for securities, it is illegal. I dont think the Nyan Cat NFT is a security. Its more like a commodity. And yes, wash trading and money laundering via art is an age-old practice.

My point was that the Nyan Cat NFT likely isn't a security, and hence wash trading might not be illegal.
