PANews reported on April 21 that, according to The Block, the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) marketplace generated $5.38 million in weekly revenue, approaching its all-time high set in September 2025. The current growth differs structurally from six months ago: the previous peak was driven by a single week-long token generation event (TGE) at Collector Crypt, while the current peak has been steadily accumulated over six consecutive weeks, with Courtyard contributing the majority of the increase. Courtyard's model involves entrusting physical cards to a third party and issuing NFTs redeemable for those cards, attracting collectors seeking fragmented liquidity rather than purely speculative crypto demand. The tokenization layer is used as a liquidity tool rather than a speculative venue, allowing cards to flow to physical delivery, validating the pricing function of on-chain marketplaces. Courtyard currently generates approximately $200 million in annualized revenue, surpassing most mid-sized NFT markets in 2021, but with significantly less marketing spending.
