Data Quality

Data: Medium

Courtyard.io operates in a massive and growing collectibles market with an innovative blockchain-backed model, evidenced by strong GMV growth in early 2025 and recent expansion into luxury watches.

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Bull (35%)+200%

Courtyard.io successfully leverages its secure vaulting and proprietary blockchain infrastructure to capture significant market share in emerging high-value collectible categories, such as luxury watches through its partnership with Luxury Bazaar. Rapid user adoption and transaction volume drive revenue to over $75M by 2028, leading to a successful Series B round at a $450M valuation.

Base (30%)+30%

Courtyard.io continues to grow steadily in the physical collectibles market, reaching $40M in revenue by 2028. While maintaining its competitive position against other NFT marketplaces and traditional incumbents, a challenging market for blockchain-related ventures results in a modest valuation increase to $195M.

Bear (35%)-60%

Increased regulatory scrutiny on blockchain assets or aggressive moves by incumbents like eBay, coupled with intensified competition from other NFT marketplaces such as Magic Eden and Rarible, significantly slows Courtyard.io's growth. Revenue stagnates, leading to a down round that values the company at $60M, severely impacting common stock value given the existing liquidation preferences.
