Tokenized Pokémon Card 'CARDS' Listed on OKX Europe
The narrative around tokenizing exotic collectibles on Solana is gaining traction as a project delivering tokenized Pokémon cards has emerged. The token, named Cards on Solana (CARDS), is now listed and tracked on the OKX Europe exchange. Social media posts show a video demo of the project, which aims to capitalize on recurring interest in tokenizing physical collectibles like Pokémon cards.
- The project behind the CARDS token, Collector Crypt, was co-founded by Tuomas Holmberg and Dax Herrera. - Collector Crypt's "Gacha machine," a system for purchasing randomized digital packs of tokenized Pokémon cards, has generated over $74 million in transaction volume from approximately 3,800 wallets since the beginning of the year. - The CARDS token launched on August 29, 2025, and saw its price increase by over 600% within a few days of its launch. - Each tokenized card is backed 1:1 by a physical, professionally graded Pokémon card held in a secure vault, which owners can redeem. - Since its inception, the platform has processed over $150 million in total trading volume, with weekly trading volume growing by an average of 27% since the start of the year. - The project's roadmap includes tripling their card inventory, opening a proprietary vault, and introducing three new Gacha machines in the coming months. - A loyalty program is in place where holding CARDS tokens earns users "Gacha Points," which can be used to acquire free packs from their "vending machine." - The broader market for tokenized Pokémon cards on platforms including Collector Crypt saw trading volumes of $124.5 million in August 2025 alone, a 5.5x increase since the beginning of that year.
