Story Protocol leads the IP tokenization wave
The development is part of a broader trend in the entertainment industry, where traditional models of content distribution and monetization are being reimagined through blockchain technology, with Story Protocol emerging as a leading platform for making IP investable.
Story Protocol recently supported Aria Protocol’s Aria PRIME platform in bringing $100 million of Korean music catalogs on-chain. The initiative uses Story Protocol to tokenize music rights, giving investors access to fractionalized IP while enabling rights holders to benefit from improved liquidity, automated royalties, and smart contract-enabled licensing.
Beyond entertainment and music, Story Protocol is expanding the tokenization of intellectual property across a wide array of industries, including AI models, game assets, memes, design creations, and patents. Flagship IPs on the platform include Magma, a browser-based professional design platform, and Mahojin, a decentralized AI platform for datasets and AI models.
