Polygon Rockets as Pokémon NFT Cards Ignite Trading Frenzy

Polygon (MATIC) saw a surge owing to Pokémon NFT card pack sales on Courtyard.io, boosting trading activity on the blockchain network as users opened their newly acquired packs on-chain.

• Users purchased ‘Mystery Boxes’ containing various Pokémon-themed virtual cards, with the thrill of discovering them through ‘Pack Rips’.

• All 175 Pokémon Cards were quickly claimed in a two-phase sale facilitated by Courtyard.io and backed by trusted brands like Brinks, MoonPay and VaynerFund.

• The Pokémon card packs were available for just $5.00, offering a chance to obtain valuable cards, including PSA9-graded ones from 2000, worth about $500.

• Following the rapid sell-out of these cards, unopened 2000 Base Set booster boxes now command prices exceeding a mighty $15,000.

• A reason behind the hype includes the digital packs offering liquidity benefits compared to the physical booster boxes.
