Solana Card Token CARDS surges over 43% in 24 hours, Pokemon auction frenzy fuels the rise

【Blockchain Rhythm】The token CARDS issued by Collector Crypt, a card trading platform in the Solana ecosystem, has recently gained popularity. Data from January 14th shows that CARDS increased by over 43% in 24 hours, with a market cap reaching $186 million and a trading volume of $5.3 million.

There is an interesting behind-the-scenes story to this surge. The popularity of the Pokemon card market is indeed rising, and CARDS’s performance seems to be riding this wave of enthusiasm. What is the key event? Celebrity Logan Paul announced that he will auction a PSA 10 graded Pokemon Illustrator card in January 2026. This is no small matter—Logan Paul originally bought the card for $5.275 million, and Ken Goldin, founder of the famous auction house Goldin Auctions, privately offered $7 million to buy it, but was rejected.

Interestingly, there is now money on Polymarket betting that this card will sell for over $15 million in the end. What does this indicate? It suggests that everyone expects a fierce bidding war at the auction, with the final price potentially far exceeding the previous record. This anticipation has driven the overall card market’s enthusiasm, and related tokens like CARDS are also rising accordingly.
