Coinbase to Launch Mobile Service Linking Digital Card Packs to Physical Cards

  • Coinbase teased a mobile service for Pokémon card packs linked to physical cards.
  • Coinbase showed five numbered Pokémon-branded packs in blue, silver, copper, gold and black.
  • Coinbase has not disclosed a launch date, pricing, eligible countries, blockchain or licensing status.

Coinbase is preparing a mobile Pokémon card service that will let users open digital packs linked to physical cards that can be held with a custodian or shipped directly. A teaser on X showed five numbered Pokémon-branded packs in blue, silver, copper, gold and black, though Coinbase has not disclosed their pricing, contents or whether the colors represent different tiers. The exchange replied affirmatively when a user characterized the concept as Pokémon packs on the chain, suggesting an onchain component without identifying a blockchain or explaining the ownership structure. Coinbase has not disclosed a launch date, fees, supported countries or whether The Pokémon Company licensed the product. The move extends Coinbase's Everything Exchange strategy beyond trading fees after the company posted a $359.5 million second-quarter net loss as revenue missed forecasts. GameStop already offers a comparable model through digital Power Packs containing PSA-graded Pokémon cards that can be vaulted, sold or shipped.
