As we start the new year we're taking a hard look in the mirror at where we're at and what we need to do to find success in 2026.

If you're reading this - I'm sure you've always known Coop Recs a a crypto-first company. Whether that was through the sale of NFTs or our more recent move to songcoins, crypto has always been at the heart and center of everything we've done. We've paid out over $2m to 200+ artists this way and been able to work with some of the biggest names in dance music.

However - we've reached an inflection point that we need to be honest about. Crypto can't be the headline for what we're doing. We need to reach real music fans and offer them something they deeply care about that has impact in their daily lives. That's why we've been heads down building out clip.energy - our new product which rewards fans for posting videos at shows.

Over New Years we ran campaigns with artists like Illenium, Jigitz, Daniel Allan and Distant Matter - and we're gearing up for some major tour runs in the weeks to come. And while every new sign up comes fresh with a new wallet and stablecoin payouts, you wouldn't know it's crypto unless you really dug deep.

In parallel - we're pausing on new drops on cooprecords.xyz and focusing on our traditional record label. We just crossed 1M Spotify streams on "In the Middle" with Daniel Allan & Arden Jones in the first month of being release. We're back with Daniel's next single "Take Me Under" - setting the tone for our main focus moving forward this year.

We've been going hard on Tiktok - posting 3-5 times a day across my personal account, the Coop Recs account and fan pages we've set up for Daniel, MPH and DJ STRAWBRY.

All this goes to say that while our direction may have shifted - we've never felt better about finding ways to support and break artists, and are extremely optimistic about how we can tie everything together in the year to come!
