In this episode of Crypto Tech with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into how blockchain is finally bringing transparency to music royalties—an industry long plagued by opaque accounting and delayed payments. They focus on a specific case: the 2025 catalog acquisition of mega-producer Dr. Luke by Kobalt-backed blockchain startup Mediachain. Using smart contracts, each stream triggers an instant micropayment split among collaborators, eliminating the lag and leakage that cost artists up to 20% of owed revenue. Lucas unpacks how this model is now being adopted by independent labels and major publishers alike, with early data showing a 15% increase in royalty payments to featured artists. Grounded in current market data—including a 4.8% weekly rise in Ethereum, the backbone of many royalty tokens—the hosts explore whether this could reshape the $30 billion global music industry. No hype, just the mechanics and the numbers. #Blockchain #MusicRoyalties #SmartContracts #Mediachain #DrLuke #Kobalt #Ethereum #Streaming #Micropayments #Transparency #MusicIndustry #Royalties #Decentralization #Technology #Crypto #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CryptoTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
