Looking at Jackson.io's performance over the past six months is quite interesting. Starting from a TGE price of $0.001 in December last year, it has now reached a historical high of $0.0583, an increase of over 500%. TVL has surpassed $11 million, and trading volume has reached over 470 million.

Why do some believe it can break $1 in 2026? The core reasons are three successive catalysts— the official launch of Cardz.game, the 30th anniversary of Pokémon, and the mid-year World Cup IP hype. It sounds ambitious, but the logical chain is worth breaking down.

First, let's talk about the project's design itself. Jackson.io is the first licensed iGaming GameFi protocol on Sui, and this "licensed" label still carries weight in the industry. The most unique feature is the zero-commission model— all platform fees are 100% redistributed to LPs and token holders, effectively supporting automatic buy-ins and creating a positive feedback loop. Looking at the 600% monthly increase after TGE, it doesn't seem like pure hype; it appears to be a re-pricing based on fundamentals.

Sui's performance advantages are also well utilized. Instant confirmation, low Gas costs, fully support high-frequency interactions in GameFi scenarios. The entire ecosystem's TVL is expected to double this year, providing solid backing for the Jackson ecosystem.

Now, let's look at those three catalysts. The Cardz.game pilot starting in January is particularly noteworthy—each NFT maps to a PSA-rated physical Pokémon card, stored in a vault, with support for mailing redemption. This is a real-world asset (RWA) implementation. The surge in trading volume and community activity after launch indicates that user engagement has indeed been triggered. Plus, the 30th anniversary of Pokémon and the World Cup IP are queued as additional catalysts.

Whether it can truly break $1 depends on whether these catalysts can continue to convert into platform activity and cash flow. Currently, the price essentially discounts these expectations.
