Phygitals, a marketplace for physical collectibles on Solana, has tokenized a 1997 issue of Weekly Shonen Jump that carried the first appearance of One Piece. According to the report cited by Techub News, only 118 graded copies of the magazine exist worldwide. Users can buy tokens on Solana that correspond to authenticated physical copies.
The project uses a one-token-per-item structure. Each token represents a graded physical collectible held by a custodian, and holders can request delivery of the underlying item at any time. Once the physical copy is redeemed, the digital version is destroyed.
Solana’s official account promoted the release on Aug. 28. Phygitals described the launch as the first manga tokenization in history. The company said the model had already been used in trading cards and is now being extended to manga collectibles. The report also noted Solana’s broader push into on-chain collectibles, including a July partnership between the Solana Foundation and Japan’s SBI to develop a yen-denominated on-chain marketplace, while network activity hit a record in August. SOL was quoted at $107.21, up 5.9% on the day.
