Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines – October 9, 2025 – Fanable, a Web3 platform that blends physical and digital collectibles, has secured $11.5 million in new funding to accelerate its growth and enhance blockchain-driven features. Alongside this milestone, the company has launched token farming for its soon-to-debut $COLLECT token, allowing users to earn points and rewards ahead of the token’s full rollout.
Funding Fuels Web3 Collectibles Expansion
The latest investment round attracted notable backers including Michael Rubin, founder of Fanatics, as well as Ripple, Steel Perlot, Polygon, Borderless, and Morningstar. Fanable’s marketplace has already recorded more than 20,000 sales with a reported 100% month-over-month growth rate.
The new capital will go toward scaling its Pokémon ecosystem, broadening global reach, and integrating more Web3-native tools for collectors.
Token Farming and Community Empowerment
Fanable’s collaboration with the Collect Foundation introduces a point-based farming program tied to the upcoming $COLLECT token. Users can begin earning points now, which will later convert into governance rights, trading perks, and other benefits within Fanable’s ecosystem.
According to Steve D’Agostino, CEO of the Collect Foundation, this initiative marks “a major step forward to bridge the worlds of collectibles and Web3.” The campaign underscores Fanable’s mission to prioritize community ownership and decentralization, granting early adopters meaningful influence in the platform’s future.
Platform Features and Ecosystem
Fanable supports graded collectibles from trusted providers such as CGC, PSA, Beckett, and WATA, covering a wide range of categories like:
- Pokémon cards
- Comic books
- Video games
- Funko Pops and other rare memorabilia
Users send their collectibles to a Brink’s-secured vault, where the assets are digitized and represented on-chain. This system enables secure trading, sales, or physical redemption directly through the platform.
The marketplace also offers:
- A 2% royalty on future sales of vaulted collectibles until redemption
- Lower transaction fees than most competing marketplaces
- Armored transport by Brink’s for high-value items exceeding $50,000
Fanable operates on Epic Chain, which ensures tokenized assets maintain verified provenance, transparency, and blockchain security.
Challenges and Industry Outlook
Fanable sits at the crossroads of two fast-evolving sectors: real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and the global collectibles market. Regulatory uncertainty remains a key challenge, as tokenized assets may fall under securities laws that vary across jurisdictions.
Nevertheless, Fanable’s strong investor lineup, rapid growth, and clear product-market fit suggest it’s well-positioned to shape the emerging “phygital” (physical + digital) collectibles space. The company’s progress will depend on the success of its $COLLECT farming initiative, the engagement of collectors, and broader regulatory clarity.
If Fanable can turn its passionate community into long-term token holders and ecosystem contributors, it could become a major player bridging nostalgia-fueled collectibles and blockchain-powered ownership.
