Market Forces TCG by VanEck

Did you really think we’d make a game without giving a nod to @pudgypenguins? 🐧 Any guesses what card this ends up on?

Crude Oil. Natural Gas Futures. These aren't just concepts -- they're cards. And they hit differently when the Energy Shock market event flips.

@creativedrewy @MattBartlettVE soon, very soon!

@MarketForcesTCG @MattBartlettVE I also actually went and hit your profile and saw tons! But I was also kinda hoping for a physical card sneak because hey why not 👉👈

You're not ready for this!

@creativedrewy @MattBartlettVE did you see the art???? :)

@MattBartlettVE I want it! Any sneak previews hmmmmm???

The market is not a place. It is a force. It moves through trading floors and back-channel calls, through decisions made before most of the world is awake. It has no memory, no mercy, and no preference between the brilliant and the lucky. It simply moves. Market Forces: The First Surge by @vaneck_us Coming 2026.

If you've ever built around a Commander in @wizards_magic or locked in a legend in @playriftbound - you already know this feeling. Your identity at the table starts before the game even begins. Market Forces works the same way. Your Investor card never leaves play: • The Dividend Devotee plays it safe. • The Disruptive Dreamer chases volatility. Which one are you?

First edition. First Surge. An estimated 8,000 units are planned for public release via pre-orders and the waitlist. When it's gone, it's gone. Many will miss. Stay tuned.

Rate Shock hits. Liquidity dries up. Your Equities, Fixed Income, and Digital Assets all take negative returns this round. What's your move? The Tactics phase isn't over yet.

Different theme. Familiar foundations. Market Forces is built to feel instantly playable, especially if you’ve touched a TCG before 👇 In @wizards_magic, you have sorceries and instants → In Market Forces, you have strategies and tactics In Commander (MTG) or @playriftbound, you build around a central character → In Market Forces, you build around an investor, each with unique abilities In @vibes_tcg, any card can be played face down as a rod → In Market Forces, any card can be played face down as a liquidity token Easy to learn. Hard to master.

One of our artist's has worked with Marvel, Lucasfilm, MAD Magazine and DC Comics. He is now helping to build the world of Market Forces. Here is just a taste of what is coming👇

@Frenchiee @vaneck_us @pudgypenguins So you like VanEck collectibles? Hmmm

J’ai récupéré le @vaneck_us intern X @pudgypenguins 🧸 Belle bête.

@TheProfesserf Interested in seeing you play it

@MarketForcesTCG interested to see how this turns out 👍

What if your trading card game taught you how markets actually work, and was genuinely fun to play? We're building that.

@namsan329 @MattBartlettVE @vaneck_us @syncd_collect and there is a high chance of this set having an Intern card.

@MattBartlettVE @MarketForcesTCG @vaneck_us @syncd_collect looking forward to it matt sketch promos of vaneck intern and you ringing the opening bell at the NYSE

There are a lot of reasons to build @MarketForcesTCG. It’s a brand-building exercise for @vaneck_us. It’s a native collectible for @syncd_collect. Collectibles are a growing asset class - and we wanted to create something worth collecting. But for me, it’s personal. I’ve watched friends in Web3 make genuinely smart moves - real conviction, real upside. And then watched those same people get taken out by things that had nothing to do with the quality of their ideas. Concentration risk. Holding too long. Mistaking exposure for diversification. Trying to time a market they couldn’t. They weren’t uninformed. They just didn’t have a framework. Market Forces doesn’t give financial advice. But it puts you in a system where those mistakes have consequences, and the only thing at risk is a card game. That felt worth building.

The market moves. You adapt. Bull runs. Black swans. Rate shocks. Your portfolio. Your move. ETA 2026.

We’ve been quietly building something new for the TCG community… Introducing @syncd_collect, our new social collector app for trading cards. I often describe it as Robinhood meets Tinder for TCGs. The app just launched on iOS (Google Play coming soon). Right now you can: - Scan or manually add your favorite TCGs (@vibes_tcg, @ONEPIECE_tcg_EN , @playriftbound , @Pokemon , more coming) - Track sealed, raw, and graded cards in your inventory - Build and manage your wishlist - See a clean, financial-style breakdown of your collection’s value on the home screen The “Robinhood” side is the portfolio experience, treating your collection like the asset class it is. And the “Tinder” side? That’s coming next. We’ll be rolling out matching + deal discovery, so you can connect with collectors who have what you want and want what you have. Think swipe-style discovery for trades and smart deal matching. Plus: - Swipe-style discovery - DMs - Shareable binders - Deal-making built into the experience - Set pricing improvements If you’ve been following and supporting what we’re building, I’d really appreciate it if you could download the app and give it a try. Your feedback at this stage means everything. More updates are coming fast.
