Tokenized Pokémon card trading surges in popularity, with weekly revenue reaching a record high of 7.4 million USD
Odaily reports that the tokenized Pokémon card-related market achieved a total revenue of approximately $7.4 million in the first week of May, reaching an all-time high and growing 337% year-on-year. Among the platforms, Courtyard ranked first with around a 46% market share, Collector Crypt and Phygitals accounted for roughly 27% and 26%, respectively.
The surge in market enthusiasm is considered closely related to the Pokémon IP approaching its 30th anniversary celebration cycle. Google Trends shows that searches for keywords such as “Pokémon cards” and “Japanese Pokémon card” have nearly reached historic highs, while the official brand has launched a year-long global celebration and plans to release a new “30th Celebration” card series in September.
Analysts note that tokenized card trading platforms generally show a certain lag effect compared to the physical market’s popularity. The current increase in on-chain transactions largely reflects a secondary amplification trend: “physical collecting craze → digital assetization.”
In addition, some industry opinions suggest that as the 30th anniversary series approaches release, if demand in the physical market further erupts, on-chain tokenized trading may usher in a new round of accelerated growth. (The Block)

The 10-year US Treasury yield has surpassed 5%, making bonds more attractive relative to stocks than at any point in the past 25 years. The earnings yield of stocks, as measured by the inverse of the S&P 500’s price-to-earnings ratio, is now lower than the 10-year US Treasury yield, resulting in a clear yield suppression effect on the stock market from bonds. According to the Shiller model, the S&P 500 may outperform bonds by only about 1% annually over the next decade. The 20-year paradigm of stocks outperforming bonds has officially come to an end.
