Tokenized Pokémon card trading surged, with on-chain sales on Solana and other platforms reaching $230 million in May
The trading volume of tokenized Pokémon cards on crypto platforms is rapidly increasing. Driven by the "gacha" mechanism, it creates a trading experience similar to "opening boxes/drawing cards" by mapping physical cards to NFTs or digital certificates. According to data disclosed by Messari, in May, approximately $230 million in trading volume has been achieved across seven blockchains including Solana, Polygon, Base, and BNB, which is about a tenfold increase compared to a year ago.
In addition, the global trading card market size reached $15.8 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to $23.5 billion by 2030, while the overall market value of NFTs is currently around $2.4 billion, indicating that on-chain collectibles are still in the early stages of penetration.
