Unlike the excitement that wears off with tangible toys after some time, the experience of a digital plaything has the potential to last much longer, especially since its value can go up over time or be traded for something entirely new. Cryptoys are blockchain-based, fully interactive digital toys that have the ability to evolve and unlock new experiences and games. Like unboxing a physical toy, Cryptoys emerge from CryptoyCubes to recreate the element of surprise. OnChain Studios raised $7.5 million USD to support its mission to build an NFT-native digital toy company for the next generation of collectors. Co-founder Will Weinraub says "Simply put, we want to build the most entertaining and accessible NFTs for collectors." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Blockchain-based Digital Toys:** The trend of creating blockchain-based digital toys that offer unique and long-lasting player experiences could be disruptive innovation for the gaming industry. - **Nft-native Collectibles:** The trend of creating NFT-native collectibles, like Cryptoys, could disrupt the traditional collectibles market by introducing a new format for ownership and trading. - **Interactive Evolving Toys:** The trend of creating interactive digital toys that evolve and unlock new experiences and games could be a disruptive innovation for the toy industry by offering longer-lasting and more dynamic play experiences. ### Where This Applies - **Gaming:** The gaming industry could benefit from blockchain-based digital toys that offer new and exciting experiences for players and collectors alike. - **Collectibles:** The collectibles market could be disrupted by NFT-native collectibles, like Cryptoys, by introducing a new way to own and trade unique items. - **Toy:** The toy industry could benefit from creating interactive, evolving digital toys that offer longer-lasting and more dynamic play experiences for kids and collectors alike. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [NFT-Enabled Cartoon Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cryptoys-1.md) - [Toy Pony NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-little-pony-nfts.md) - [Family-Focused NFT Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toekenz.md) - [NFT-Inspired Vinyl Toy Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superbored-vinyl-art-toys.md) - [Mascot NFT Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-collections.md) - [Virtual Metaverse Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-pets-company.md) - [Surreal Dark Comedy Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazing-digital-circus.md) - [Digital Hero Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-rangers-nft.md) - [Customizable Vinyl Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makeship.md)
