Loot Labs runs Boxed.gg in Seattle, a platform for both physical and digital collectibles. It lets users buy, unbox, and ship physical trading cards (like Pokémon, MTG, and Yu-Gi-Oh!) and trade unwanted cards for site credit. It has opened over 15 million boxes, showing strong user engagement, and is now adding a beta marketplace for Counter-Strike 2 skins with fairness features and real-time pricing to reduce black-market risks. Backed by $7.5 million in two rounds led by BITKRAFT Ventures, Loot Labs aims to be a secure, engaging hub where hobbyists can buy, trade, and value both physical and digital collectibles.
