Arthur Hayes' Family Office Calls for Investment: CARDS Target Price $4, Bullish on On-Chain Tokenized Pokémon Card Explosive Growth

BlockBeats News, June 24th, Arthur Hayes' family office Maelstrom released an in-depth research report on the Solana ecosystem entity card trading platform Collector Crypt, setting CARDS' target price at $4 by the end of summer. According to GMGN market data, CARDS' current price is $0.272, with a market cap of approximately $550 million.

In recent months, the on-chain tokenized Pokémon card market has seen explosive growth, with the top seven platforms recording $230 million in May gachapon sales, compared to just $32 million in the same period last year, a growth of over 10 times. The core driver is the gachapon mechanism. Users can invest funds to randomly receive NFT card backs, simulating the physical pack-opening experience while providing instant liquidity. Collector Crypt founder Tuom Holmberg previously revealed that gachapon accounted for 90% to 95% of the company's business, with cumulative sales exceeding $1 billion in the platform's 18 months of operation. The global physical card market reached $15.8 billion last year, projected to grow to $23.5 billion by 2030. Despite the NFT hype in the crypto space waning, tokenization technology is once again becoming a key infrastructure for the card speculation market.
