In September we learned that Jay-Z’s music streaming service, TIDAL, has spent $7 million on tokens (‘SENSO Tokens’) issued by Sensorium Corporation.
SENSO Tokens are the in-world currency of Sensorium Galaxy, which consists of multiple worlds that act as content hubs.
TIDAL’s $7m spend has bought the platform’s artist co-owners – including Jay-Z plus Lil Wayne, Rihanna, Calvin Harris, Daft Punk and Coldplay’s Chris Martin – access to broadcast their content within the Sensorium Galaxy.Music Business Worldwide
