This Week in Music NFTs - April 4

The Music NFT community shines at NFT LA.

The Music NFT community is taking shape.

From IRL events at NFT LA to recurring digital social spaces - the growing sector is finding its roots.

While it was a slow week by headline standards, it’s evident that a rising generation of artists and collectors are starting to see the vision.

From mentions of Sound.xyz or Royal at every dinner to challenges from Crypto Twitter, the emerging sector is a consistent topic of discussion.

But, we’ve still got a long way to go.
