FCG Night | Future Card Game Night was recently held at the New Taipei E-Sports Base, bringing together participants from trading card collecting, gaming, Web3, branding and related industries to discuss how TCG, Web3 and gaming may intersect. The event focused on physical collectibles, digital assets, community culture and trading markets, with discussion centered on how Web3 technology could connect with the traditional collectibles market as cards gain richer digital identities, trading methods and use cases.

One Piece debut issue of Weekly Shonen Jump tokenized for trading on Solana

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.

Pokémon Cards Are Becoming a Multibillion-Dollar Market. Crypto Wants to Fix How They Trade

Pokémon cards are becoming a multibillion-dollar market, and the crypto industry wants to fix how those cards trade. Collectors have already spent millions of dollars on physical trading cards, while a number of blockchain startups are now turning physical Pokémon cards into digital assets, according to a CoinDesk report published on Aug. 11, 2026. The report, by Aoyon Ashraf and edited by Cheyenne Ligon, says the harder task is creating enough liquidity to compete with established marketplaces. In other words, the challenge isn't just putting cards on a blockchain — it's building the kind of deep, active trading environment that collectors can reasonably rely on when they decide where to buy and sell. The piece appears in CoinDesk's business section and is based on the observation that card collecting has grown big enough to attract crypto-focused startups. It does not name individual startups or platforms, and it does not provide specific sales figures beyond the broad description of a multibillion-dollar market and millions spent by collectors.

Trump Coins Brand Unveils 'United We Stand' Silver Bar Honoring Signature Salute

Official Trump Coins, the commemorative coin brand linked to former President Donald Trump, announced on August 9 the release of a 'United We Stand' silver bar. The new collectible uses a vivid, full-color design to capture a signature moment from Trump's presidency: his salute in front of a waving American flag, a scene the brand said pays tribute to resilience, leadership and the enduring spirit of unity. Framed by the presidential seal and the words 'UNITED WE STAND,' the bar is being offered in two versions: a 1-ounce edition and a larger 10-ounce edition. Trump has personally promoted the brand's releases multiple times, describing them as 'the only official coins designed by me,' including the first-edition and second-edition silver medals released earlier. U.S. media have noted that the operation is actually run under license by Trump's sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., who are authorized to use the former president's name and likeness.

POAP shuts down after five years, moves into maintenance mode with 6.7 million badges minted

Proof of Attendance Protocol, better known as POAP, stopped operating on March 16, 2026 and has entered maintenance mode, according to Techub News citing CryptoBriefing. Over its five-year run, the protocol minted more than 6.7 million digital badges. The service was ended because it lacked a sustainable business model. The report said POAP had raised $10 million in 2022. Even so, the project was unable to build a revenue flywheel because it did not have a native token. The team said it will now shift its focus to building a new open standard for collectibles. Support for existing users will continue. Badges that have already been minted will also remain viewable on-chain. The update outlines both the end of POAP’s active operations and the next step for the team as it moves away from running the protocol as an ongoing service.
