$30,000 Loan Secured by Pokémon Card NFT

Pokémon cards have entered the real-world asset tokenization (RWA) market. Physical cards are being issued as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), allowing users to trade them with stablecoins or redeem them for the physical cards. According to analysis by NH Investment & Securities, Pokémon cards have established themselves as investment assets due to the purchasing power of millennials and the demand for rare cards, with some cards trading for millions of won. Currently, platforms such as CollectorCrypt, Courtyard, and Phygitals are attempting to tokenize Pokémon cards. These platforms store the physical cards and issue NFTs, allowing users to receive cards in random packs and trade them on NFT marketplaces. NH Investment & Securities analysis indicates that a loan of $30,000 has been secured against the NFT of the 'English version 1999 Mewtwo 1st Edition PSA10'. The Pokémon card tokenization market operates by connecting the storage of physical cards, NFT issuance, marketplace trading, and physical redemption. The total market capitalization of the RWA market has reached $31.23 billion, reflecting a 2.7% increase from the previous month. The tokenization of Pokémon cards remains a case of RWA expanding beyond financial assets into collectibles.
