Trading of “tokenized Pokémon cards” surges: Sales on Solana and other blockchains reached $230 million in May
Svmuu News: Trading volume for tokenized Pokémon cards on crypto platforms is growing rapidly. Driven by the "gacha" mechanism, which maps physical cards to NFTs or digital tokens, this creates a trading experience similar to "opening boxes" or "drawing cards." According to data disclosed by Messari, trading volume across seven blockchains—including Solana, Polygon, Base, and BNB—reached approximately $230 million in May, marking a nearly tenfold increase from a year ago. Furthermore, the global collectible card game market reached $15.8 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to $23.5 billion by 2030, while the total market capitalization of NFTs currently stands at approximately $2.4 billion, indicating that on-chain collectibles are still in the early stages of adoption.
