At Aria, we believe that intellectual property (IP) is not just creative output; it's one of the most valuable asset classes in the world. Aria’s mission is to pioneer a new onchain IP economy, powering novel markets for iconic cultural IP. With Aria PRIME, we advance that mission by establishing Aria’s platform for institutional IP investment.
What is Aria PRIME?
Aria PRIME is Aria’s institutional arm, purpose-built for ultra-high-value IP assets including billion-dollar music catalogs, globally-recognized entertainment franchises, and other mega IP rights and funds.
Aria PRIME is built to bridge global capital markets with a cultural economy. It’s where the world’s most valuable IP portfolios spanning across music, film, art, and beyond can be tokenized IP as a productive real-world asset.
This enables IP owners to transform their assets into fungible tokens, offering control, visibility and liquidity, as well as opening them up to potential future composability onchain. It can also enable institutional grade investors to access these iconic cultural assets with the efficiency, transparency, and liquidity of blockchain infrastructure.
A $100M Milestone in Korean Music
Aria PRIME will launch with US$100M in tokenized Korean music catalogs, in partnership with Story and Contents Technologies. This demonstrates how through Aria PRIME, rights holders gain the infrastructure to manage their IP with clarity while unlocking liquidity onchain.
Over time, Aria PRIME is anticipated to enable composability of onchain IP assets within Aria’s financial stack and enable permissioned institutional-grade investors access to these high-value assets
Aria PRIME catalyzes institutional capital formation while driving cultural activity within Story’s ecosystem. This first $100M milestone in music marks Aria’s first step toward making cultural IP an institutional-grade financial asset. Aria PRIME can expand into additional categories of iconic IP, from film to art, building toward the world’s leading institutional platform for tokenized intellectual property.
With Aria PRIME, intellectual property becomes more than culture. It becomes capital, at scale.
