Pokemon isn’t nostalgia anymore — it’s financial infrastructure. The market just crossed $75B after being under $10B only six years ago. That kind of growth doesn’t happen because of “hype.” It happens because collectibles have quietly become one of the strongest performing alternative asset classes on earth. Why? • Limited supply, permanent scarcity • Global brand recognition across generations • Emotional demand + financial demand • Institutional money slowly entering the space • A new generation treating cards like stocks People laughed at sneakers. Then watches. Then whiskey. Then sports cards. They’ll laugh at Pokémon too—until they’re priced out. The smartest money buys cultural assets before Wall Street gives them permission. Position accordingly.
