I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner, primarily so that the IRS could more easily track and tax NFT sales.
The government generally doesn't care what you do unless it's blatantly obvious you're breaking the law OR unless you don't pay your taxes.
NFT's are such an insane concept to me. It's like fine art with less rigor and more crime.
