DeFi platforms generate $11m revenue from Pokémon NFT trading cards

The decentralized platforms reported $11 million in revenue last month by letting users buy and sell NFT versions of Pokémon cards and unopened packs.

DeFi protocols are capitalizing on a trading card boom by moving Pokémon cards and unopened packs onto blockchain-based marketplaces as non-fungible tokens, according to DL News.

The outlet said the platforms enabled users to buy and sell NFT versions of Pokémon cards and pack openings, and that they generated $11 million in revenue last month.

DL News framed the development as part of the broader push by decentralized finance services into more mainstream collectible trading activity, highlighting that the concept is capitalizing on consumer interest rather than traditional DeFi use cases.
