NFT Strategy Unveils World's First Pokémon Card Fund, Targeting Institutional-Grade Cultural Asset Investment

Asian-listed digital asset firm MemeStrategy (HKEX:2440) has launched the world’s first tokenized Pokémon Trophy Card fund, available exclusively to professional investors. Tokenized ownership in the fund is facilitated via licensed alternative asset digital platform EVIDENT Platform Services Limited, with the goal of creating an institutional-grade investment channel for the trophy card market. The fund will focus on PSA 10-graded “Van Gogh Pikachu” (Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat) cards—jointly released by The Pokémon Company and the Van Gogh Museum, inspired by Van Gogh’s *Self-Portrait with Grey Felt Hat*, and a limited-edition item. MemeStrategy disclosed there are roughly 47,000 PSA 10-graded copies of the card, with a total estimated market value exceeding $94 million. The fund targets acquiring approximately 25% of the available PSA 10-graded cards on the market. Citing market data, MemeStrategy noted the global collectibles market is projected to hit $6.28 trillion by 2031, while the collectible card segment is expected to grow from $14.7 billion in 2025 to $37.42 billion by 2034. Pokémon cards have surged more than 30x in value over the past 20 years, with high-end single-card auction records repeatedly broken—including the $16.492 million sale of a PSA 10-graded “Pikachu Illustrator” card once owned by Logan Paul. On the fund’s structure: RWA Labs Limited—MemeStrategy’s wholly owned subsidiary—serves as the fund’s General Partner (GP) and also participates as a Limited Partner (LP) for strategic investment. Physical cards are secured in the firm’s Grade10 custody vault, which provides authenticity certification, insurance, and museum-grade temperature/humidity control. Assets will undergo semi-annual reserve verification audits by a Big Four accounting firm.
