CatchBack has raised an $8M seed round led by Foundation Capital, with Y Combinator, Robinhood Ventures, Coinbase Ventures and the Solana Foundation joining, to scale its verifiable digital trading-card marketplace.

The San Francisco startup, founded by Joseph Zhang, builds digital mystery packs backed by physical cards, with real-time card trading and instant buybacks. The lineup pairs a veteran Silicon Valley seed fund with fintech and crypto heavyweights across Robinhood, Coinbase and Solana.

The raise underscores growing investor appetite for bringing collectibles onchain, where verifiable ownership and instant liquidity aim to modernize a trading-card market long run on physical scarcity and slow resale.
