Aggregated weekly revenue across tokenized Pokémon TCG marketplaces reached record highs of around $7.4 million in the first week of May, up 337% year over year. The Courtyard platform led the record week with a 46% share, followed by Collector Crypt at 27% and Phygitals at 26%.
The milestone reflects the strongest cultural backdrop Pokémon has had in history, with 2026 being the franchise's 30th anniversary and Google Trends showing searches for "Pokémon cards" near all-time highs worldwide, and "Japanese Pokémon card" queries also at record levels.

A "Pokémon Day" presentation in February kicked off a year of worldwide 30th-anniversary releases, to be capped off by an all-foil "30th Celebration" set scheduled for a global same-day launch in September. The macro demand backdrop for the hobby is as strong as it has been in the modern era, and the record onchain marketplace revenue is a direct reflection of that.
It is worth noting that tokenized marketplaces tend to lag the physical reality of the phenomenon rather than tracking it tick-for-tick.
