Coinbase Expands into Collectibles with Digital Pokémon Packs

Coinbase, a major cryptocurrency exchange, has announced plans to sell digital Pokémon packs inside its app. This move marks the company's expansion into physical collectibles, sparking new interest from traders.

The exchange revealed this development on social media platform X, showing five branded Pokémon packs in different colors that hint at various price tiers. However, no official launch date or pack prices have been confirmed by Coinbase's management.

When a user opened a digital pack, they can choose to keep the physical card in a secure storage vault or have it shipped straight to their home address. This integration of physical items aligns with Coinbase's goal of becoming an all-in-one trade exchange and generating new revenue streams outside of standard crypto trading fees.
