July is shaping up to be a pivotal month for Music NFTs.

With major platform upgrades, premier artist drops and key membership passes - the ecosystem is quietly finding its footing.

Artists want to be heard. Labels help artists reach fans. Let's unpack a record deal and how web3 fits in. 🧵

Everyone seems to be wondering - when will Music NFTs have their breakout moment?

It’s becoming clear that it won’t happen overnight. In fact, it probably won’t happen in the immediate short term.

Instead, we’re going to see gradual growth from the artists, collectors and operators creating new monetization models for music over the next year.
