Soneium and DayOneDream Partner to Tokenize K‑Pop IP

The deal aims to build blockchain infrastructure for tokenized K‑content on a Sony‑backed layer‑2 while future offerings remain subject to regulatory and eligibility checks.

Overview

  • Soneium and DayOneDream announced the partnership on Tuesday to explore bringing K‑pop intellectual property and associated revenue streams onchain through DayOneDream’s WAVIST platform.
  • WAVIST supplied the concrete proof point for the plan by completing a tokenized IP bond lifecycle in May that ran from issuance through redemption and the burning of tokens.
  • The companies did not disclose any first asset, bond issuer, size, interest terms, or sales mechanics and said any public access would depend on applicable securities rules and user eligibility.
  • Soneium is positioned as a Sony‑backed Ethereum layer‑2 network focused on entertainment use cases while DayOneDream manages artists and rights for acts including BTOB, Lee Chae Yeon, MEMI and 2F.
  • The partnership could open new fundraising routes for creators and new ways for eligible fans or investors to share revenue, but near‑term outcomes hinge on legal classification, issuing documents, and when the partners name and launch a first offering.
