This Week in Music NFTs - Jan 16
Music NFTs hit a lull. Helix. Tycho. Umprhey's. RŌHKI. Here's how artists are weathering the storm.
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 carry the space forward.
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.
Here’s what to watch for this week.
