Momentum.

Music NFTs are seeing a steady increase in headlines, conversations, artists and collectors diving into web3’s fastest growing sector.

I’m working on a refresh of the Music NFT Landscape, and since it was published in January there are more than 50 new projects being added to the mix.

Behind closed doors, labels are ready to dive in and premier artists are fielding dozens of offers to navigate their web3 strategy.

With Limewire announcing a $10M raise, Catalog releasing custom contracts, Sound crossing 2,000 unique collectors, and Mike Shinoda advising Warner - it’s hard deny something is brewing.
