Solana Is Winning Real World Assets 🔥 CEO INTERVIEW⚡Collector Crypt🚨 $CARDS

Solana is starting to dominate the RWA scene, and there's many reasons why. Today, we're going to have a special guest that will kind of break this down for you, so don't miss it.

I want to, of course, thank our sponsor today, and that is Tangem. And this, of course, is where you can get into self-custody. And you guys have seen this wallet out there for quite some time.

We've had it on the channel almost forever, but it is the perfect way to get into self-custody. All you have to do is jump over to Tangem.com. You guys can get started over there.

They've got a little bit of a discount always brewing, and ours stacks on top of that. So use our code down below. You guys can get started and get into self-custody if you're not already doing it.

Very easy to use and very secure in terms of, and at times like this, that's an important one. All right, so I want to bring on Twam coming in from Collector Crypt to kind of break down some of these issues around RWAs. Twam, how are you? Doing just fine. Today's a beautiful day here in California.

Maybe some of our people don't know who Collector Crypt is. Let me just kind of start there so we can get going in and why this is so important to RWAs. Give us kind of a quick rundown on it.

Sure, Collector Crypt is a novel project built on blockchain, specifically on Solana. And what we do is we tokenize real world assets. And the idea is that by putting real world assets on chain,

you immediately solve a lot of friction and pain points that exist, trading other real world assets. So in the real world, I guess. And the idea is that if you can trade, you know,

beyond geographical borders, you can settle your transactions instantly, and you can do it in a trustless, permissionless way, you can significantly improve on the friction

that collectors like myself have when we deal with eBay and some other marketplaces like that. Right. And I think this is one of the things that,

when you look at real world assets and crypto and blockchain, it seems like this was almost meant for this. if you just look at tokenized commodities right now, you can kind of see,

we are talking about an explosion that is currently underway, centered some around gold, but I anticipate we'll probably see something like Pokemon cards on this very soon,

being able to understand where that market is heading. And within that, tokenized gold versus like Pokemon, do you think Pokemon once available to something that's tracking this would grow faster

than what we've seen here with early stage RWA's like gold? Yeah, I think, you know, gold, you've been able to trade gold through your brokerage house and, you know, in many different formats for decades. You know, it's a commodity. It's been traded a lot.

You can buy and sell futures. You can buy and sell gold ETFs. You could get exposure to gold through mining companies. The same is not true at all for, you know, trading card collectibles.

So if you take a look at Pokemon specifically over the last 25, 30 years, it has outperformed nearly every single other asset class that exists on the face of this earth. You know, the hardest part about it, it's very difficult to get institutional exposure to Pokemon cards.

So bringing them on chain, being able to put them in a vault, have the custody and trust available, very, very similar to like how you have with stocks with your depository trust company. You have the Pokemon cards in your vault.

And now you can, you know, create new financial instruments around it. So we're very excited and we definitely think this unlock is going to make, you know, trading cards more accessible to to not typical trading card investors. Yeah. So with everything that's happening in D.C. around Clarity, would that have any Clarity Act? Would that have any implication on your business?

It has a lot of implication on our cards token. So our collector crypt does have a token that you can trade on Solana. But, you know, Pokemon, even Gensler said that Pokemon cards are not security. So Clarity won't have an impact on being able to trade Pokemon cards.

It certainly will have an impact on our platform, though. Yeah, we've talked about this before. Other things that make me believe that we are in maybe a next generation era for collectors is what's happening in Japan. You look at Japan right here moving to regulate Pokemon trading cards.

This is going to be huge. And of course, granted, Japan has been making so many moves here when it comes to crypto. This seems like a natural evolution for that. What do you expect out of this?

Do you think it's going to really open up the market opportunity? I think a lot of what's happening because Pokemon cards, you know, they're literally worth more than their weight in gold. They become a financial instrument and they're used in kind of unsavory settings in many cases.

And they're also being targeted by criminal enterprise. So I think it's a very good move by Japan to come in and start to pass regulation to protect consumers and to protect the beneficial trade in the Pokemon ecosystem. And with everything related to Pokemon cards, Japan was one of the first to pass regulation

about how these kind of Pokemon boxes and products should be constructed and all of this to basically protect consumers. And we're totally behind that. Yeah.

Well, they're even going to the level of now getting facial recognition to block resellers and scalping, which kind of surprised me. I mean, this means that it's super serious.

And of course, you've got massive demand in this market as well. When you look at what you guys are doing with the cards token

and the potential of something like an IPO, I'm just in general, when you kind of look at this project versus things like token and equity, which is kind of in limbo right now.

How would that play out for you guys in terms of how you're structured today? Yeah, so we're kind of in a very, I'd say we're in limbo, right? We've been waiting for regulation to pass surrounding, you know, how the SEC is going to treat tokens.
