Boston, MA, USA, May 12th, 2026,
The collectibles platform with $142M+ ARR, 540,000+ claw pulls, and $100M+ in Base volume is expanding its full marketplace infrastructure to Solana, with all inventory secured in institutional-grade vaults.
Beezie enters Solana with established onchain activity and real collector participation. The platform has processed 540,000+ claw pulls and executed 530,000+ instant buyback swaps, a ~90% buyback rate designed to keep liquidity circulating within the platform. Graded items are authenticated by PSA, BGS, or CGC, with all inventory secured in institutional-grade vaults and available for physical redemption anywhere in the world. Thousands of collectors, many of whom were new to crypto, have already redeemed and shipped items through the platform.
“Beezie was built on a simple belief: collecting should feel fun again, ownership should be real, and liquidity should be instant. Our goal is to touch every single person onchain and bring millions more with them,” said Andrea Miele, CEO of Beezie. “Solana is where the next wave of collectors will find us, and we’re bringing our proven collectibles experience and introducing new verticals, such as luxury goods.”
The Product Behind the Platform
Beezie’s product is live, with authenticated inventory secured through institutional-grade third-party custody and active collector participation across chains.
The Marketplace operates peer-to-peer. Listed items are authenticated, graded by PSA, BGS, or CGC where applicable, and secured via third-party vaulting. Ownership transfers digitally while the physical asset remains stored until redemption, reducing settlement friction and counterparty exposure. Beezie ships globally with full insurance.
"The Points Vault rewards collectors who have been with us since day one. We want to give back to our community in more meaningful ways, turning platform activity into real products like grails, sealed boxes, and free pulls," said Pratik Kadam, Chief Product Officer at Beezie.
Beezie is backed by Moonrock Capital, Devmons, Legendary, Techstars and Adam Cochran, with early investment from Roham Gharegozlou, CEO of Dapper Labs.
Why Solana
Solana processes over 3,000 transactions per second at a fraction of a cent per transaction, making it one of the highest-throughput chains in production. Daily active addresses regularly exceed 2 million, and the chain has become the default for consumer-facing crypto products across payments, gaming, and DePIN.
The collectibles vertical is already moving onchain, and Solana is where the liquidity sits. Over $150 million in tokenized trading card volume has traded on the chain in the past year alone, and the category is growing week over week. For a platform like Beezie that processes 540,000+ claw pulls and runs a peer-to-peer marketplace with real inventory, settlement speed and transaction cost matter at every layer.
Beezie enters Solana with a live product generating $142M ARR, and a collector base that is already active across chains. Beezie’s expansion strategy has always been built around one principle: meeting collectors where they are — whether on Flow, Base, Solana, or Web2. As a result the door gets wider for every collector onchain and offchain.
“Solana is where the next wave of collectors will find us, and we are bringing our proven collectibles experience and introducing exciting new verticals, such as luxury goods,” said Andrea Miele, CEO of Beezie.
Alongside the Solana expansion, Beezie is introducing luxury goods as a new onchain collectible category. Beezie is also taking the collector experience offline at the Beezie Card Show in Korea on May 16–17, 2026, which brings together traditional card vendors, Web3 communities including the Solana ecosystem, and casual collectors under one roof in Suwon. The event features a live physical claw machine activation, exclusive drops, and on-site Beezie experiences, marking a new chapter in how Beezie brings onchain collecting into the physical world.
“Solana was built for consumer-scale applications. We welcome Beezie to the Solana ecosystem – the platform brings dedicated users, significant trading volume, and a collector experience that works at the speed traders expect.” – Pedro Miranda, Head of Consumer, Solana Foundation
The Bigger Picture
The collectibles industry is valued at over $496 billion and growing at an estimated 7.4% CAGR, with projections reaching $535 to $628 billion by 2031. The trading card market alone hit $7.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $16.9 billion by 2035. Gen Z drives 56% of all collectibles spending.
Pokémon cards have outpaced the S&P 500 by 3,000% over the past 20 years. Logan Paul’s Pikachu Illustrator card sold through Goldin auctions for $16.5 million in February 2026, up from $5.275 million in 2021. A complete 1st Edition Pokémon Base Set in PSA 10 went for $911,629 in late 2025, a 660% increase from its 2020 valuation. Sealed vintage products across categories have shown 22% compound annual growth over 25 years.
Most of this market still settles through eBay listings, in-person meetups, and manual processes. Tokenized real-world assets are scaling. Consumer crypto infrastructure has matured to the point where blockchain is invisible to the end user. Beezie sits where all three meet, making physical collectibles liquid onchain with institutional-grade custody.
