AnotherBlock, a Web3 marketplace for music, has successfully raised €4 million ($4.35 million) in funding, with UK-based venture capitalist Stride VC leading the investment round. Founded in 2022, AnotherBlock allows users to buy and sell music rights using NFTs and tokens, providing artists with royalties when their music NFTs are purchased. The platform gained attention when a co-producer of Rihanna’s album sold his royalties for the song “Bitch Better Have My Money” as an NFT, earning $63,000. This successful NFT sale attracted venture capitalists, including Swedish House Mafia artist Axwell, who participated in the funding round.

 

The emergence of tokenized music assets and NFTs has generated increased interest in Web3 and blockchain technology. AnotherBlock’s funding achievement highlights the potential of NFTs to revolutionize the music industry by creating new revenue streams for artists and allowing fans to own a share in their favorite songs. Moreover, AnotherBlock’s ownership agreement permits secondary sales, with NFT holders receiving a percentage of streaming royalties at least twice a year. This innovative approach to music rights has the potential to disrupt traditional models and empower creators to share financial incentives with their fanbase.

 

AnotherBlock is not the only Web3 music NFT marketplace to secure substantial funding following a surge in sales. Royal, a platform that enables fans to buy and sell tokenized song ownership and earn royalties alongside artists, recently raised $71 million in Series A funding. This trend underscores the transformative impact of tokenized music rights in reshaping the music industry and providing new opportunities for artists and fans. As Web3 and NFTs continue to grow, the future of the music industry holds promising prospects for expanded ownership and collaboration.
