Los Angeles CA, March 31, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CurrencyWorks Inc. (“CurrencyWorks” or the “Company”), (TSXV: CWRK and OTCQB: CWRK) a financial technology blockchain pioneer, NFT, and digital payment provider today announced a client partnership with Liquid Media Group Ltd. (“Liquid Media” or “Liquid”) (Nasdaq: YVR), to create a unique multi-token IP platform.
The platform, engineered by CurrencyWorks for Liquid Media will serve the evolving needs of film, entertainment, and gaming industry professionals, and capture opportunities to conceptualize and create content once, then monetize it in perpetuity.
The multi-token platform build-out will include NFTs, utility tokens, and eventually security tokens. Both Liquid Media and CurrencyWorks will retain a small portfolio of NFTs and Security Tokens, subject to regulatory approval, creating a content library, supports the artists on its platform, and provide potential upside for shareholders.
“Liquid Media is the ideal client because they have IP that will make an incredibly powerful multi-token platform use-case,” said Cameron Chell, CurrencyWorks Chairman. “NFTs can brokerage a new way to connect with fans across music, film, and gaming creating opportunities for content creators in the entertainment industry. This adds a new revenue stream, in addition to creating stronger engagement with their audience base. The possibilities around what can be created within the platform are endless.”
The CurrencyWorks Liquid Media Token Platform will offer four IP pillars: Creation, Use/Subscription, Financing, and Licensing/Protection.
- CREATION – Intellectual property is the heartbeat of Liquid’s business. The new LMTP will allow IP creators to enhance their offerings through innovative NFTs (non-fungible tokens). While traditional digital collectibles will be available, LMTP will also allow creators, writers, and producers to maximize the full potential of NFTs in short and long-form with built-in licensing and use rights for NFT holders, exclusive content, behind the scenes, and collector’s edition offerings.
- USE/SUBSCRIPTION – Liquid’s new LMTP will enable the creation and management of utility tokens for subscribers to access various types of content or events, including but not limited to film genre, film writer, film producer, TV programs, entertainment niches, lives events, online events, games, downloadable content, and specific game architects.
- FINANCING – Production financing is key to a project’s success and ultimately its completion. The new LMTP from Liquid will assist in the formation and distribution of Security Token Offerings (STOs), subject to regulatory approvals, for projects that are unable to secure traditional financing, that may have multiple assets of differing values and appeal that can be subdivided, or project managers preferring decentralized finance (DeFi).
- LICENSING/PROTECTION – Leveraging CurrencyWorks’ image rights platform, the new LMTP will give industry professionals the ability to discover patent infringement as well as manage ongoing copyrights, licenses, and royalties for all NFTs. These NFTs can be monetized in perpetuity with both the creator and Liquid sharing in the ongoing royalties.
“Liquid’s innovative new multi-token platform that CurrencyWorks is creating will have the potential power to dramatically accelerate and de-risk the business of any small or independent content creator,” said Ron Thomson, CEO of Liquid Media. “We look forward to working with CurrencyWorks with our business solutions from concept through to monetization. Liquid will be there from start to finish.”
Both Liquid Media and CurrencyWorks will retain a small portfolio of NFTs and Security Tokens, creating a content library, supports the artists on its platform, and provide potential upside for shareholders. Additionally, to cement the partnership, the companies will swap undisclosed equity considerations, while CurrencyWorks will receive cash consideration for the initial development of the platform.
A pioneer in the NFT space, the CurrencyWorks Collectibles NFT platform includes unique features and capabilities to help drive value and the best user experience of the NFTs created and managed for its customers. CurrencyWorks has value-add features including the design of NFTs, automatic copyright registration with the United States copyright office, automated usage tracking, and license management in addition to exclusive content, features, and benefits.
CurrencyWorks recently announced that it will be creating the first NFTs for the Barrett-Jackson Auction Company. Debuting in the first series will be auctions and exclusive content of the sale of VIN 001 vehicles including 2021 Ford Bronco 2-Door VIN 001, 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 VIN 001, 2021 Ram 1500 TRX Launch Edition VIN 001, and 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 VIN 001.
