Today, $ARIAIP is live and eligible participants can now claim their tokens.
This marks a major milestone for the Aria ecosystem, ushering in the next phase of Aria Protocol’s growth with expanded community participation and deep alignment across our ecosystem.
About Aria Protocol
Some of the most powerful assets in the world are songs that define generations, stories and characters with global reach, and art that shapes culture. These are iconic forms of intellectual property (IP), long overdue for a financial and technological breakthrough.
IP as an asset class is estimated to be worth over $80 trillion globally, but most of it, particularly iconic IP, sits behind significant walls: difficult to access, complex to licensing, and limited in how it can be monetized.
Aria Protocol is changing this.
Aria Protocol enables investors to access and earn from iconic IP RWAs, turning historically illiquid real-world rights into fungible and liquid crypto assets. The first IP RWA on Aria Protocol, $APL, represents partial income rights to hit songs performed by global artists like Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, BLACKPINK, and BTS. Through $APL, original rights holders unlocked capital from future royalties, while investors gained the right to receive real-world royalty income, with daily payouts distributed to stakers. To date, stakers of the $APL token have earned $323,000 in royalty buybacks, strengthening $APL’s monetization and demonstrating the power of IP RWA as a financial primitive.
