ANote Music, the Luxembourg-based startup, will launch a blockchain-based platform to allow its users to invest for music royalties on July 28.
On June 4, it has been reported in an announcement that Marzio Schena, the CEO and co-founder at ANote Music, said that the platform aims to “bridge the gap between the music industry and capital markets.”
However, the platform helps artists, record labels, publishers, and songwriters become financially independent by allowing them to access funding through royalty sales. After investing, users receive a share of rights and can trade them with others on the platform at prices determined by supply and demand.

Schena explained:
“Our goal is to unlock the hidden value in music for both investors and artists by creating a stock-exchange platform for music investments. We are excited to be the pioneer of alternative investments, while revolutionizing traditional systems within the music industry.”

Likewise, Grégoire Mathonet, the Chief Technology Officer of ANote Music, stated that the firm decided to use blockchain technology for the platform to ensure transparency and traceability for its users.
He added:
“All these records are saved on a private Ethereum network, regularly backported to the main Ethereum network, which is the mechanism of plasma chains.”
The report said that ANote Music struck a deal with Italian label Irma Records to launch 200,000 euros in shares on the platform.
Mathonet said:
“With Irma Records, we bring a mature and solid investable asset to the early users of ANote Music. At the same time, it provides a good benchmark of the kind of music catalogues our audience can expect to find and invest in on the ANote Music Platform, once we have officially launched.”
As Irma Records was founded in Bologna, Italy, in 1988, Mathonet added that now the firm has offices in Japan and the United States.
Thus, he concluded:
“Irma Records has had consistent and protected royalty flows with a remarkably stable profile of royalty payments, with a standard deviation of just 3.8% over the past five years. It has been generating an average income of over €230,000 annually from music royalties between 2014 and 2019.”
