GameStop Eyes Crypto Payments for Trading Cards—Here’s Why It Matters
GameStop might just flip the script—again. The retail trader darling is reportedly considering crypto payments for its trading card business, blurring the lines between memes and mainstream finance.
From Meme Stock to Crypto Hub?
After riding the WallStreetBets wave to infamy, GameStop's latest pivot could tap into the $2T+ crypto market. No confirmation yet, but the move would let shoppers swap Dogecoin for Pokémon—or Bitcoin for Magic: The Gathering.
Why TradFi Should Sweat
If executed, this would be another middle finger to legacy payment rails. GameStop's 2021 short squeeze already exposed Wall Street's fragility. Now? Cutting out credit card processors with decentralized payments—while hedge funds still charge 2% for 'alpha.'
The Bottom Line
Crypto adoption isn't coming—it's here. And when a company that survived apes and angry tweets bets on blockchain, maybe the 'phase' is permanent. Just don't tell the SEC.
