How did gaap value their magic coins?


Likely marked to market, but it honestly doesn't matter. In a world where wash sales are effectively free from any friction whatsoever, you can set a market value of whatever you want.

I've been a crypto skeptic for all this time especially NFT's exactly because I was at the right age to understand how wash sales drove the dot-com bubble, and looking at the defi space, wash sales could explain how all of these insane valuations kept happening.


Hmm, could wash trading have played some part in the apparent success of Donald Trump's "digital trading cards"?
