Aria heralds new era of music tokens-$ 100 million début!
On September 22, 2025, Aria announced the introduction of his new institutional platform Aria Prime, which specializes in the tokenization of intellectual property (IP). This platform could revolutionize the way music and other creative content are managed and acted. Aria Prime starts with a first transaction of impressive $ 100 million, which are invested in Korean music catalogs Story Protocol onchain are brought.
Aria's partnership with Story Protocol and Contents Technologies is a strategic move in this growing market. Tokenized music rights already represent more than half of the total music distribution market in South Korea. This shows the immense potential that the platform has to facilitate access to this lucrative market. Aria PRIME manages extensive IP portfolios that include not only music, but also film franchises and other creative works.
Technology and benefits of tokenization
The tokenization of IP via the Aria Prime platform not only increases the liquidity of the music catalogs, but also creates more transparent property structures for the rights holders. Institutional investors can access these valuable assets via an advanced blockchain infrastructure. The platform is supported by the Story Layer 1 Blockchain, which was specially developed for the tokenization of IP.
An outstanding feature of the Aria Prime platform is the possibility of dividing assets into fractions. These fractions can generate income and integrate with the help of smart contracts into remixing and license rights, which opens up new sources of income for artists and rights holders.
Financing and future prospects
In September 2025, Aria was able to secure $ 15 million through a seed and strategic financing round, with an assessment of $ 50 million. The supporters of this financing round are prominent investors such as Polychain Capital, Neo Classic Capital and the Story Protocol Foundation. Despite these positive news, Aria is currently reducing the fees from token starts and trade in order to promote the acceptance of the platform among the users.
The $100 million invested in Korean music catalogs marks the first step into a larger institutional IP market. In the future, Aria plans to expand this market to include cinema, art and other genres to position cultural IP as a scalable financial asset. Expectations are high that the launch of Aria PRIME will not only transform the strategies of rights holders, but also permanently change the entire IP management landscape.
