It’s crunch time for Music NFTs. The sector is going through a bit of a trough to kick off the new year. Generally - it feels like artists and collectors are wondering - what’s next? The concept has been proven. The playbooks have been run. Artists are seeing success and collectors and steadily growing. Still - the space is in search of that viral moment. And that will take some time. So instead, this week’s focus is on composability - the developments happening under the hood that carries the space forward. Reo Cragun @ReoCragun When I first started tokenizing music I never imagined it would've lead me onto the path i'm on. My gut says the work we've been doing will impact music in a + way, and that the true value of music will begin to unlock. We made strides last year, but the marathon continues. 117 2:36 PM • Jan 15, 2023 I’m proud to be starting the Web3 Manager Launchpad this week with a cast of 12 promising emerging mangers. With all that in mind - keep an eye on those who are native to the movement. The artists dropping without any prior warning. Those giving their group chats a leg up and making this about more than the technology. In the midst of uncertainty, the visionaries double down.
