Shifting Trends, Onchain Gacha TCG Surpasses Popularity of Memecoin and NFT
The onchain TCG industry shows exponential growth with transaction volume projections reaching a new all-time high of $211.2 million by May 2026. Messari data as of May 7, 2026, indicates a major shift in interest from traditional memecoin and NFT speculation toward digital collectible cards like Pokémon integrated with blockchain technology.
The Solana ecosystem dominates this market through two main platforms leading transaction volume significantly. Collector Crypt ranks at the top with a projected volume of $84.8 million (market share 40.2%), followed by Phygitals in second place with a volume of $51.6 million. This dominance reinforces Solana’s position as the primary infrastructure for TCG projects relying on speed and low transaction costs.
In addition to major players, the Courtyard platform also records a strong volume of $50.6 million, while projects like Beezie are beginning to attract investor attention. The consistent volume surge since the beginning of the year indicates that the onchain TCG industry has become a new main narrative within the digital asset ecosystem. This trend is driven by the increasing adoption of physically defined digital assets (phygital) among global collectors.
