Insights

KUKE partners with Naxos to create a blockchain-based music rights platform with potential new revenue streams, though implementation remains speculative.

KUKE Music's partnership with classical music giant Naxos represents an ambitious attempt to modernize the classical music industry through its "Music LEGO Engine" initiative. The core innovation involves deconstructing musical compositions into modular, independently licensable components - similar to LEGO bricks - that can be tracked, licensed, and recombined using blockchain technology.

The technical architecture centers on two key components: the Music LEGO Engine for content modularization and the Naxos Music Platform (NMP) as the blockchain infrastructure. This structure creates entirely new monetization avenues for KUKE's existing classical music catalog by enabling more granular licensing of musical elements rather than complete works.

From a technology perspective, this represents a novel application of blockchain for music rights management. The NFT-based verification system could potentially solve longstanding issues around copyright enforcement and royalty distribution in digital music. What's particularly significant is the integration of AI training capabilities with these modular music components, potentially positioning KUKE to become a provider of specialized music training data for AI systems.

However, the announcement is notably light on implementation details, timelines, or financial projections. The concepts of tokenizing music rights as AG˹ٷ World Assets (RWA) and creating an NFT-based trading ecosystem are ambitious but face significant regulatory hurdles globally. The technology integration challenges between AI systems, blockchain infrastructure, and complex musical content should not be underestimated.

While the partnership with Naxos provides KUKE access to a vast content library spanning 100+ countries, transforming traditional music licensing into a modular blockchain-based system remains largely experimental in the industry. Investors should view this as a forward-looking R&D initiative that could potentially create new revenue streams but requires substantial technology development before commercialization.

Beijing/Hong Kong, Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KUKE Music (NYSE: KUKE), a world-leading classical music content service provider, today announced a strategic collaboration with Naxos Music Group, the world’s largest independent classical music group. With a catalog of over 3 million audio tracks spanning more than 100 countries and regions, Naxos is the undisputed global leader in classical music. Under this partnership, Naxos will leverage its unparalleled content resources and service infrastructure to support KUKE Music’s exploration of artificial intelligence (AI) innovations, blockchain and RWA (AG˹ٷ World Assets) in classical music. The collaboration centers on building a blockchain- and AI-powered "Music LEGO Engine" designed to fundamentally revolutionize the creation, rights verification, application, and value circulation of musical content. Within the compliance framework, tokenizing the company's music copyright assets as RWA.

Building the "Music LEGO Engine": Modular Copyright Drives Tech Revolution

The core initiative—dubbed the "Music LEGO Engine"—will deeply structure and modularize KUKE Music and Naxos� vast, authoritative global classical music catalog. Copyright elements (e.g., melody fragments, harmonic structures, orchestration combinations, performance styles) will be deconstructed into standardized, independently identifiable, licensable, and combinable "modules," akin to LEGO bricks. This innovative framework will serve as critical infrastructure for future AI training and copyright monetization:

Validating Core Capabilities: The project will test KUKE Music’s ability to integrate structured copyright data and complex technical collaboration, laying groundwork for future tech-driven products.

Redefining Internal Synergy: It will establish a new paradigm for efficient collaboration between musicians and AI teams, bridging content-technology gaps and fueling organizational innovation.

Foundational for Future Growth: The Engine will underpin KUKE and Naxos� upcoming AI-powered music creation/analysis tools and blockchain-based copyright monetization products (e.g., NFTs, financialized copyright trading), providing scalable content and operational models.

Naxos Music Platform: Blockchain Backbone for the LEGO Engine

The Naxos Music Platform (NMP), the blockchain backbone of this collaboration, will empower the "Music LEGO Engine" with robust rights verification, traceability, and value distribution. Naxos' global content network and user base will directly serve KUKE Music's blockchain strategy through the NMP platform:

Rights Verification & Traceability: Each music asset (including "LEGO modules") receives a unique, immutable NFT-based copyright certificate on-chain, recording creator, licensor, and holder history to enhance enforcement and reduce disputes.

Fair & Sustainable Ecosystem:

Transparency: Smart contracts automate royalty/licensing distribution, replacing opaque legacy systems with auditable on-chain execution.

Fan-Driven Economy: NFT holders (fans/investors) share revenue based on contributions (e.g., plays), fostering a value-aligned community.

Global Payments: Platform tokens enable borderless settlement, eliminating currency barriers.

Sustainable Loop: Integrated tokenomics (payments, profit-sharing, buyback/burn) and NFT mechanisms drive long-term growth.

Building a self-sustaining growth mechanism for long-term development
The financialization interface and global reach of the "Music LEGO Engine": NMP’s mature NFT royalty-sharing system and transparent on-chain revenue distribution mechanisms provide an ideal testing ground for the licensing, combinatorial valuation, and fractional financial investment of "Music LEGO Modules." Modular copyrights enable finer-grained, more flexible transactions and value capture on NMP. Crucially, by leveraging Naxos� extensive network spanning over 100 countries and regions, its massive user base, and its vast copyright catalog (which exclusively supplies core modular materials for the project’s initial phase), KUKE Music’s "LEGO Engine" and blockchain financialization initiatives will gain unprecedented global market access and content support. All global content and services from Naxos will be integrated into and dedicated to serving this innovative project under KUKE Music as a listed company.

Future Roadmap: AI, Blockchain and RWA in Concert

Beyond infrastructure, KUKE and Naxos have defined clear expansion paths through the Music Lego engine and Naxos Music Platform:

  1. AI-Driven Creation and Commercialization:
    The modular classical music "Music LEGO Modules" will serve as premium training data for professional AI models, enabling practical applications such as AI-assisted composition, intelligent orchestration, and stylized music generation. Simultaneously, the Naxos Music Platform (NMP) will facilitate on-chain rights verification and automated royalty distribution for AI-generated works.
  2. Open Creator Ecosystem: NMP will open to independent musicians (especially classical) to upload, modularize, and mint NFT-based works, accessing global markets via the Naxos-KUKE network.
  3. Innovative Fan Engagement: Combining the flexibility of the "Lego" module with a global fan base, "Fan blind boxes" (containing rare music snippets/rights) and limited NFT albums will deepen artist-fan connections.
  4. Copyright Monetization: Exploring the possibility of tokenizing "LEGO modules" for staking, lending, or portfolio investment will unlock new financial potential and leverage the AI technology for KUKE’s global assets. Within the compliance framework, tokenizing the company's music copyright assets as RWA.
