Assessment

Contemporaneous reporting and ecosystem partner data from May–July 2022 corroborate that Magic Eden hosted between 7,000 and 10,000+ NFT collections on its platform. On June 22, 2022, Phantom officially cited Magic Eden's marketplace as having 7,000 collections, while VentureBeat reported on July 12, 2022, that Magic Eden had more than 10,000 collections listed. Given that the spoken statement was a round approximation ('like almost 10,000 collections'), the documented figures around mid-2022 confirm the claim.

Phantom integration announcement (June 22, 2022) cited Magic Eden's marketplace at 7,000 collections.
VentureBeat reporting by Dean Takahashi (July 12, 2022) documented that Magic Eden had more than 10,000 listed collections.
Multiple mid-to-late 2022 ecosystem overviews corroborated collection counts ranging from 7,000 to over 8,000 collections.
