For the past 5 consecutive weeks, Pokémon TCG RWA weekly revenue has surpassed $5M.
Weekly revenue grew from near zero in late 2023 to a consistent multi-million-dollar powerhouse in 2026.
The average Joe thinks NFTs died years ago, but in reality, some communities have found a proper use case.
This isn't a "one-day pump." It's a slow, steady grind of real users vaulting assets to gain an efficiency edge.
Yesterday's ComicBook.com x Collector Crypt announcement brings digital vending machines to a 40M-user audience on Solana, moving this from a crypto-native niche to a mainstream retail funnel.
Not a lot of media is talking about this. With AI now handling the bulk of newsroom summaries, I wouldn't expect AI to find this by scraping on-chain data, it's too busy recycling old headlines to see the real-time volume shifts.

been watching this space for while now and pokemon cards always had that collector mentality that actually makes sense for NFTs. Like people were already treating physical cards as investments and storing them in protective cases, so digital ownership with proof of authenticity was natural next step
the revenue numbers are pretty impressive but I’m curious how much of this is actual utility vs speculation still. When you say “vaulting assets for efficiency edge” – what kind of efficiency are we talking about here exactly? Trading speed or something else
Actually bought my first PSA slabs at NFTs first. Ended up redeeming them later though.
