Tokenized Pokémon cards have seen a significant surge in trading volume, with on-chain sales reaching $230 million in May across platforms like Solana, Polygon, Base, and BNB. This marks a tenfold increase from the previous year, driven by the "gacha" mechanism that links physical cards to NFTs, creating a unique trading experience akin to "opening a box." The global trading card market was valued at $15.8 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to $23.5 billion by 2030, while the NFT market cap stands at $2.4 billion, highlighting the early stage of on-chain collectibles.
