Coinbase Teases Pokémon Card Packs Backed by Physical Collectibles

This is a notable pivot in how crypto rails get applied: tokenization aimed at collectibles, not securities or currencies, with custody as the core hook rather than speculation. It matters most for collectors and platforms already experimenting with physical-backed assets, since Coinbase's distribution could push the model toward mainstream familiarity. The absence of a launch date leaves execution and vault mechanics unresolved — whether the physical-to-token link is credible enough for collectors is the open question.
