Animoca Brands is one of the most important investors and Web 3.0 companies with a role in digital property rights for gaming and the metaverse. Its investment portfolio in Web3 is huge, and it continues to grow, shop, and acquire projects in this domain. Blockchain technology is spreading to other industries, with music being one of the most recent to adopt it. As we talked about in our last report, blockchain technology is making its way into the music industry, as new projects show. This recent stake acquisition will also shape the future of the music industry, but how? Let’s check it out.

A Hong Kong company called Animoca Brands just said that it has bought a big part of Pixelynx. The goal is to build music studios, invest in infrastructure, and buy other technologies that will help the music industry. This is possible because the music industry, the game industry, and the Web 3.0 domain all work together. Integration extends beyond the technological realm to include communities.

Joel Zimmerman, also known as deadmau5, and Richie Hawtin made Pixelynx, which is an interactive music ecosystem. It also boasts big names in the music and gaming industries like Dean Wilson, Inder Phull, Ben Turner, and more.

Pixelynx has offices in five countries, with its headquarters in Los Angeles. Its main goal is to make a music metaverse for musicians and a new platform for game studios called Elnyxir. In short, Pixelynx is making new ways for the music business to move forward, especially in the spirit of decentralizing ownership. 

Also, the platform gives musicians the space and freedom to manage their relationships with fans, partners, and other platforms. It will also strengthen the music community and build new ways to create, share, and monetize music.
