PANews reported on June 14th that, according to Decrypt, the trading volume of tokenized Pokémon cards on crypto platforms is growing rapidly. Driven by the "gacha" mechanism, which maps physical cards to NFTs or digital vouchers, a trading experience similar to "opening a box/drawing cards" is formed. According to data disclosed by Messari, in May, approximately $230 million in transactions were achieved on seven blockchains including Solana, Polygon, Base, and BNB, representing a roughly tenfold increase compared to a year ago. Furthermore, the global trading card market size reached $15.8 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to $23.5 billion by 2030, while the overall market capitalization of NFTs is currently around $2.4 billion, indicating that on-chain collectibles are still in the early stages of penetration.
