CARDS Token Surges as Gacha Volume Hits All-Time High
By: [Squiffs](https://thedefiant.io/author/squiffs) • January 14, 2026 · DeFi

On‑chain trading card platform Collector Crypt’s CARDS token is up 60 % in the last week as its gacha spin volume hits new highs, driving protocol revenue and token buybacks to their highest levels since September.
The CARDS token is up 12 % today and 211 % over the last month to a $200 million fully diluted valuation (FDV). Despite its strong month, however, CARDS is still down 73 % from its all‑time high in September.
Following its official token launch in August, CARDS exploded to a nearly $1 billion FDV, with its parabolic price action potentially aided by its low circulating supply of less than 20 %.

Between Jan. 5 and Jan. 12, users spent almost $20 million on the platform’s gacha vending machine for a chance to win rare tokenized Pokémon cards.
The surge in activity drove Collector Crypt’s revenue to its highest level since September, totaling $1.87 million over seven days.
