Bringing iconic IP onchain with Drip
Traditional and Web3 markets are merging faster than ever. For example, Robinhood is tokenizing stocks. Circle just brought stablecoins to Wall Street. Real-world assets (RWAs) are going mainstream as the world comes onchain. What about collectibles?
Our alliance with Drip introduces the most popular collectible brand of all time — Pokémon — to the #1 gaming chain. Many Ronin gamers grew up collecting and trading these cards, and we all know that a First Edition Charizard is harder to get than a regular Blastoise. Pokémon is part of every collector’s DNA. Today, we unite that nostalgia with our NFT collections.
