We’re excited to see what’s possible.”

“From collectibles to music royalties, NFTs and Web3 represent the pulse of consumer demand and an exciting future for the music industry,” says Lin Dai, OneOf CEO. “We are thrilled to partner and innovate together with Warner Music Group and use our cutting-edge Web3 technology to bring their iconic labels and world-renowned artists to the next 100 million fans on blockchain.”

Following its launch last year, OneOf has launched NFT collections with Whitney Houston, Doja Cat, Alesso, The Game, Chief Keef, Pia Mia and more.
