Music intellectual property asset digitalisation

Music catalogue investments are experiencing growth similar to other alternative asset classes, driven by strong investor interest. However, this growth is hampered by a lack of digital infrastructure. The outdated management of intellectual property (IP) within the music industry further complicates accessibility, particularly for those outside the industry.

The “Real World Asset” tokenisation concept could present a significant turning point. “Music IP tokenisation” refers to the process of representing conventional music intellectual property through digital tokens on the blockchain. This process extends beyond just the IP to contain the vast array of associated rights, ranging from royalty- and copyrights to distribution- and sampling rights. By tokenising music intellectual property on the blockchain, the key to liquidity is unlocked, offering a transparent, global market that operates around the clock.
