Browse curated music catalogs with transparent historical streaming data.
Each token represents your pro-rata share of that catalog’s royalty stream.
As tracks are played, royalties flow to the catalog and your share is distributed regularly.
Royalties are payments generated every time a song is streamed, played on radio, or licensed for use. Rights holders receive these payments through industry reporting systems — and on Ripe, so do investors.
Just an account, a one-time identity verification, and a deposit. After that, browse available catalogs and start investing with any amount that works for you.
You can start with any amount that works for you — Ripe is built around fractional ownership, which means you don't need thousands of dollars to get a stake in a music catalog. Buy a small share, watch royalties accumulate, and scale up when you're ready. There's no minimum designed to keep everyday people out.
Distributions are paid out every week, every Friday. Streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music report play counts on a weekly cycle — Ripe collects that data, calculates your proportional share of the royalties, and deposits it directly into your account. No waiting six months like traditional music industry payouts. No manual steps required on your end.
Ripe's team of music editors and AI-powered analytics screen thousands of tracks before any catalog is listed. The selection is based on streaming consistency, catalog longevity, and royalty forecasting — not hype. That said, streaming revenue can fluctuate. A track's plays may go up or down depending on playlist placement, sync deals, and audience trends. We're transparent about this: investing in music carries real risk, and past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
You own a tokenized share in a specific music catalog — a fractional stake in the royalty stream that catalog generates. Every time those songs are streamed, performed, or licensed, royalties flow to the catalog and your share is distributed proportionally. You're not buying the copyright itself, but a direct economic interest in its income — secured and tracked on blockchain for full transparency.
Ripe's platform supports token trading, meaning you can buy and sell your tokens based on your own investment strategy.
Music royalties are fundamentally different from crypto or equities: your returns come from people listening to songs, not from market speculation or price swings. This makes the income stream more predictable and largely uncorrelated with traditional markets. Your account is protected by KYC identity verification. Ripe does not speculate with your funds — every dollar you invest goes toward acquiring a stake in a real, revenue-generating music catalog.
