Aria is building a protocol that converts cultural intellectual property (IP) such as music, art, and media into ‘IP real-world assets’ (IPRWAs), tradable tokens that provide holders with programmable income rights. In June 2025 the company debuted $APL, a token backed by partial income rights to a portfolio of 48 songs from artists including BLACKPINK, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, and BTS; token holders can stake $APL and receive real-world royalty payouts. The rights for $APL were acquired with $10.95 million raised via StakeStone’s LiquidityPad, demonstrating early community demand for tokenised royalties. With fresh capital, Aria plans to advance features like on-chain royalty distribution, automated revenue splits, and programmable remix licensing while onboarding additional rights holders. The roadmap also includes expanding beyond music into art and other culturally significant verticals to create a broad marketplace for liquid cultural IP. Investors view Aria as part of the larger real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation trend that is bringing traditionally illiquid assets on-chain. The company’s financing to date totals at least $25.95 million when combining platform funds used for rights acquisition with its equity rounds.

Plural operates a blockchain-enabled marketplace that converts real-world energy projects into programmable securities, using smart contracts to automate waterfall distributions, investor protections, compliance, and reporting. By tokenizing small-to-mid-sized solar arrays, storage systems, and edge-located data centers, the company removes the administrative burden that has historically kept these assets out of traditional project-finance structures. The platform currently lists more than $300 million in distributed solar and battery assets supplied by renewable developers, and sponsors using Plural have reduced their cost of capital by an estimated 2%. Earlier in 2025 the company acquired a registered broker-dealer, now Plural Brokerage LLC, embedding regulated deal execution directly into its workflow. With nearly $10 million in total funding to date, Plural is expanding its product, capital-markets, and asset-origination teams and is actively hiring. Management positions the business to help close the multi-trillion-dollar funding gap for next-generation power infrastructure while offering investors real-yield opportunities at the edge of the grid.

XOCIETY is developing a fast-paced third-person shooter that combines traditional AAA gameplay with seamless blockchain functionality. Built on the Sui network, the title lets players earn the native XO token through normal play, providing on-chain verification of progression and item ownership without disrupting the core experience. The team behind XOCIETY draws from veterans of NCSOFT, Nexon and Krafton, aiming to deliver polished live-service content, competitive events and seasonal updates. Upcoming Early Access on the Epic Games Store will debut core movement, shooting systems, early progression loops, and the first iteration of token rewards. Newly raised capital will fund infrastructure improvements, server stability, global marketing and final game polish ahead of launch. The studio also plans global playtests, tournaments and community events to refine balance and retention. If successful, XOCIETY hopes to set a new standard for accessible Web3 shooters distributed through major storefronts.
