The Japanese marketplace's stock is clawing back losses following restrictions on Pokémon card listings.
Shares of Japanese online marketplace Mercari are recovering after new restrictions on Pokémon card listings triggered a selloff earlier this week, according to CNBC.
The stock's swings reflect how sensitive Mercari's valuation is to trading card activity on its platform, a category that has become a significant part of its marketplace volume.
