BAND Royalty Is Changing the NFT Landscape

NEW YORK, June 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via InvestorWire — BAND Royalty today announces its placement in an editorial published by NetworkNewsWire (“NNW”), one of 50+ trusted brands within the InvestorBrandNetwork (“IBN”), a multifaceted financial news and publishing company for private and public entities.

To view the full publication, “NFTs Flipping the Script, Bringing Value Back to Music Artists,” please visit: https://nnw.fm/dvON4

Currently retail investors can only get exposure to the music industry by buying stock in a public music label, investing in funds that buy/sell music royalties, or via websites that auction royalty rights, often well into the six-figure dollar range. In what many perceive as a ground-floor opportunity, BAND Royalty is changing the landscape and making it accessible for retail investors to participate by owning NFTs.

After a private sale of music NFTs that generated almost $1 million, BAND launched its own NFT sales platform on its website, creating the first music NFT-only platform this month. The company opened up access to the first series of 3,000 BAND NFTs on its platform, staggering the release based on rarity. The company’s plan is to keep the NFT count tight, much like other popular NFT projects such as CryptoPunks and Hashmasks, both of which have had secondary market sales in the millions of dollars. The long-term intention is to have a maximum of 12,000 BAND NFTs across four different series to be released over the next 18 months.

About BAND Royalty

BAND Royalty lets music lovers and fans take their enjoyment of music to the next level by offering blockchain-secured BAND NFTs that enable holders to earn crypto from some of the world’s most popular songs. This unique opportunity allows individuals to share in income streams each time a song in the BAND music catalog is performed. The name BAND is derived from the initials of its co-founders, blockchain experts Barnaby Andersun (BA) + Noble Drakoln (ND).

BAND Royalty muda cenário da NFT

NEW YORK, June 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via InvestorWire — BAND Royalty divulgou hoje que foi incluída em um editorial publicado pela NetworkNewsWire (“NNW”), uma das mais de 50 marcas de confiança da InvestorBrandNetwork (“IBN”), uma empresa editora de notícias financeiras multifacetada para entidades privadas e públicas.

Os investidores de varejo atualmente só podem se expor à indústria da música comprando ações de uma gravadora de música pública, investindo em fundos que compram/vendem royalties de música, ou através de sites que leiloam direitos de royalties, muitas vezes bem na faixa de seis dígitos. No que muitos percebem como uma oportunidade privilegiada, a BAND Royalty está mudando o cenário, possibilitando que os investidores de varejo tenham acesso à compra de NFTs.

Após uma venda privada de NFTs de música que gerou quase US$ 1 milhão, A BAND lançou sua própria plataforma de vendas de NFTs no seu site, criando a primeira plataforma NFT de música somente este mês. A empresa abriu acesso à primeira série de 3.000 NFTs da BAND na sua plataforma, escalonando o lançamento com base na raridade. O plano da empresa é limitar o número de NFTs, como em outros projetos populares de NFTs, como CryptoPunks e Hashmasks, que alcançaram milhões de dólares com vendas no mercado secundário. A intenção a longo prazo é emitir no máximo 12.000 NFTs da BAND em quatro séries diferentes nos próximos 18 meses.

Sobre a BAND ROYALTY

A BAND Royalty permite que os amantes e os fãs da música levem seu prazer musical para o próximo nível, oferecendo NFTs da BAND protegidas por blockchain que permitem que seus proprietários ganhem cripto de algumas das músicas mais populares do mundo. Esta oportunidade única permite que os indivíduos compartilhem fluxos de renda cada vez que uma música no catálogo de música da BAND é executada. O nome BAND é derivado das iniciais de seus cofundadores, especialistas em blockchain Barnaby Andersun (BA) + Noble Drakoln (ND).

Actuellement, les investisseurs de détail ne peuvent être exposés à l’industrie de la musique qu’en achetant des actions dans un label de musique public, en investissant dans des fonds qui achètent/vendent des redevances de musique, ou via des sites Web qui mettent des droits de redevance aux enchères, souvent pour plusieurs centaines de milliers de dollars. Dans ce que beaucoup perçoivent comme une opportunité idéale, BAND Royalty transforme le paysage et permet aux investisseurs de détail d’y participer en devenant propriétaires de NFT.

Après une vente privée de NFT de musique qui a généré près de 1 million de dollars, BAND a lancé sa propre plateforme de vente de NFT sur son site Web, créant la première plateforme exclusivement dédiée aux NFT de musique ce mois-ci. La société a ouvert l’accès à la première série de 3 000 NFT BAND sur sa plateforme, échelonnant l’émission sur la base de la rareté. Le plan de la société est de maintenir le nombre de NFT assez bas, à l’instar d’autres projets de NFT populaires tels que CryptoPunks et Hashmasks, qui ont tous deux enregistré des ventes sur le marché secondaire de plusieurs millions de dollars. Son intention à long terme est de disposer d’un maximum de 12 000 NFT BAND à travers quatre séries différentes à émettre au cours des 18 prochains mois.

À propos de BAND Royalty

BAND Royalty permet aux amateurs et fans de musique de passer à la vitesse supérieure en offrant des NFT BAND sécurisés par la blockchain qui permettent aux détenteurs de gagner des crypto-monnaies provenant de certaines des chansons les plus populaires au monde.

US Companies Offer Sweet Deals to Overcome Vaccine Hesitation?

American corporations are offering a growing cornucopia of special?deals?and promotions to encourage?people?in the U.S. to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Vaccine activism among some of the nation’s best-known brands comes as daily totals for jabs in the arm have declined by roughly 50% since mid-April. U.S. health officials say convincing the hesitant to roll up their sleeves is critical for defeating the coronavirus, a message that appears to have been heard loud and clear in corporate boardrooms.

Ride-booking services, food retailers and even dating sites?have?teamed up with the White House to help push forward President Joe Biden’s goal of getting?at least one shot?into?70%?of adults by July.?

To encourage more people to get the shot,?America’s largest pharmacy chain, CVS, has started a sweepstakes?campaign for those who sign up.?More than?1,000 prizes?will be handed out?to?people who get,?or plan to?get,?vaccinated?through CVS?by July 10.?The winnings include?cash, cruises and?other?vacations.?

Dr.?Kyu Rhee,?senior vice president of CVS Health,?said the company has already dispensed?more than 17 million COVID?vaccinations.?

“Getting as much of the population fully vaccinated will bring us one step closer to all the things we’ve missed during the past 14 months and keep our country moving in the right direction,” he said in a statement.

As the pandemic appears to be winding down in the U.S., many people are eager to travel. United Airlines is helping some of them through its?”Your Shot to Fly”?sweepstakes that will give away free flights. Until June 22, immunized?frequent flyer passengers?can?upload their vaccination record to the airline’s mobile app?or?website?for a chance to win round-trip tickets or?free flights for a year to United’s destinations worldwide.?

In a statement, United CEO Scott Kirby said: “We’re excited to give people one more reason to get vaccinated so they can reunite with friends and family or take that long-awaited vacation which all could be just one shot away.”

From travel to food, customers are getting rewards for being vaccinated, including sweet treats.

Krispy Kreme shops are giving away one free doughnut each day?until the end of the year?to?people who?show they?are?immunized.

At many Shake Shack fast food locations, customers with a vaccination card can get a free side of fries through June 12 with the purchase of a hamburger or chicken sandwich.

While not giving away food freebies,?McDonalds?has partnered with the Biden?administration to?promote vaccinations by printing information on some 50 million coffee cups?beginning in?July.?Featuring the slogan?”We Can Do This,”?the aim of the?campaign is to?encourage Americans who are hesitant to get vaccinated.?

In a statement, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra noted that customers will be able to get “trusted information about vaccines when they grab a cup of coffee or order a meal.”

Some people don’t have transportation to get to vaccination sites, so ride-sharing?firms Lyft and Uber are helping them by giving free rides for inoculations until July 4. Lyft is funding up to $15 each way, while Uber is covering up to $25 back and forth.

Both companies use their own apps to pick up customers.

“We’ve built a new easy-to-use in-app experience,”?Uber’s website says,?”where users will be able to find nearby available vaccines from tens of thousands of local providers.”?

Some stores are offering discounts for getting immunized on-site. At Target, a?merchandise retailer,?customers receive?$5 off any?in-store?purchase, while Albertsons?is?offering a 10% food discount for people who get vaccinated at its grocery stores.

For those seeking romance among the inoculated, online dating site OKCupid recently launched a profile badge that lets users sort other users by vaccination status.

“The (I’m Vaccinated) badge allows daters to signal to others that they’ve been vaccinated,” Ariel Charytan, the company’s CEO, said in a press release, “and will direct users who aren’t to a government-approved resource where they can find a vaccination site near them.”

Profiles of the daters who are immunized are given a “boost,” meaning they can be seen by more users.

There are also freebies for the practical-minded. For the tens of millions of people who got the jab and want to protect their vaccinated cards, office supply chains Office Depot and Office Max are running a promotion through July 25 where they will laminate them free of charge.

World Health Organization Developing Pandemic Game Plan for Future Outbreaks

Member nations of the World Health Organization have approved a plan to negotiate the terms of an international pandemic response treaty.

Attendees at the closing session of the World Health Assembly in Geneva voted Monday on resolution to create a special WHO assembly session in November aimed at reaching a treaty or convention that would help nations better prepare and respond to a potential pandemic similar to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The ongoing outbreak has sickened over 170 million people around the world and led to more than 3.5 million deaths since it was first detected in central China in late 2019.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told attendees “the time has come” for such a treaty, saying it would strengthen both the U.N. health agency and global health security as a whole. He said it will address “the lack of sharing of data, information, technologies and resources” that marked the sluggish response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The issue of a global pandemic response treaty was one of several reforms taken up during the weeklong event, although they will not be voted on until the World Health Assembly meets again next year.

Organizers of the Copa America soccer tournament announced Monday it was moving the upcoming event to Brazil due to a surge of new COVID-19 infections in Argentina, which was co-hosting with Colombia. The news was greeted with skepticism by some in Brazil, which trails only the United States and India in the total number of coronavirus cases more than 13.5 million, and is second only to the U.S. in deaths at over 462,000.

Scientists are concerned about hosting a tournament in a nation with a more transmissible COVID-19 variant, with many predicting another wave of the disease to hit the country in a matter of weeks. Some opposition politicians are threatening to file an injunction with the Brazilian Supreme Court to block the tournament.

President Jair Bolsonaro has come under heavy criticism for his apparently dismissive attitude toward the pandemic, and is the subject of a congressional investigation over his government’s management of the crisis.

Meanwhile, Australia’s women’s Olympic softball team on Monday became the first to arrive in Japan to begin preparations for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, which is also under a cloud due to a new wave of COVID-19 infections across the country and a slow rate of vaccinations, generating strong public opposition against going through with the Games.

Foreign spectators are barred from attending the Olympics, which begin July 23, and a Japanese newspaper reported Monday the government may require potential spectators to either have to show proof they received a COVID-19 vaccine or tested negative for the virus.
