On March 3, MemeStrategy (HKEX:2440), an Asian-listed digital asset company, announced the launch of the world's first Pokémon collectible card tokenized fund, open to professional investors. The fund provides tokenized rights through EVIDENT Platform Services Limited, a licensed alternative asset digital investment platform, aiming to establish an institutional-grade investment channel for the collectible card market.
The fund will focus its investment on the PSA-rated "Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat" card. This card, a collaboration between The Pokémon Company and the Van Gogh Museum, is inspired by Van Gogh's famous painting "Self-Portrait with Grey Felt Hat" and is a limited edition. The company disclosed that approximately 47,000 PSA-rated cards remain in circulation, with an estimated market value of over $94 million. The fund aims to acquire approximately 25% of the PSA-rated Pikachu cards on the market.
The company cited market data indicating that the global collectibles market is projected to reach $628 billion by 2031, with the collectible card segment expected to grow from $14.7 billion in 2025 to $37.42 billion in 2034. Pokémon cards have seen their value increase more than 30-fold over the past 20 years, and high-end single-card auction records continue to be broken, including the sale of a 10-card "Pikachu Illustrator" PSA set, formerly owned by Logan Paul, for $16.492 million.
In terms of structure, the fund is managed by RWA Labs Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MiStrategy, which acts as the general partner (GP) and simultaneously as a limited partner (LP) for strategic investments. The physical trading cards are authenticated, insured, and housed in museum-quality temperature and humidity controlled environments by MiStrategy's Grade10 vault. The related assets will undergo a semi-annual reserve audit by one of the Big Four accounting firms.
