[On-chain Pokémon card spending reaches $324 million in June 2026, setting a historic high] According to Cointelegraph, on-chain gacha spending reached $324 million in June 2026, setting a historic high, while Bitcoin fell over 20% during the same period, hitting a 21-month low. Users purchasing tokenized Pokémon cards have driven growth in the RWA (Real World Asset) sector, defying the downturn in the crypto market. Projects like Collector Crypt and Courtyard are tokenizing physical cards, allowing users to trade NFTs or redeem physical cards. Pokémon's U.S. sales in 2025 reached $2.5 billion, an 87% year-over-year increase, with surging demand prompting PSA to suspend some grading services to handle a backlog of nearly 10 million cards. Platforms offering instant buyback mechanisms create a gacha cycle, with project teams reporting that approximately 30% of users ultimately choose to redeem physical cards.
