- Where did all the major labels go?🤔
📢musicben.eth (Ziggy Ziggy Music):
A small headline caught my eye this week. Warner Music Group’s chief digital officer, Oana Ruxandra, is leaving the company on Friday.
Ruxandra was one of the driving forces of Web3 strategy at Warner, which was easily the most forward-thinking of the three major labels in terms of NFTs.
So, where does this leave WMG? And what about Universal and Sony? After all the hype, have the majors given up on Web3? We’ll dive in.
🟣Warner’s Web3 advocate departs
Oana Ruxandra is leaving Warner after 10 years on and off at the label. The former chief digital officer was outspokenly bullish on Web3 and spoke regularly at crypto conferences including Coin Desk’s Consensus.
When I was covering the NFT beat at Billboard she said, “WMG is focused on ensuring that our artists are deeply embedded in this world of Web3.”
Between Ruxandra and Warner’s UK counterpart Sebastian Simone, they launched several NFT experiments including Muse’s chart-accredited NFT which hit number one, a Web3-powered label, a PFP project Stickmen Toys and a grant program with Polygon.
Although some of these projects have faded out, I was always impressed with Warner’s understanding of the space — for example, they pushed hard to give away music IP rights with Stickmen Toys (an almost impossible task at a major label) and they opted for a free mint instead of the typical cash grab.
🟣What next for the major labels?
Despite all the promise, however, major label activity in Web3 has practically disappeared. Obviously, the declining volume and interest in NFTs plays a factor, but there’s something else, too:
AI.
Digital teams at the three majors labels are likely consumed with the rapid advancements in AI, and the promises (and threats) that come with it. There’s little bandwidth for experiments like NFTs and I don’t expect any big moves in Web3 until AI hype dies down and Web3 interest picks up again.
🟣Does it even matter?
I’ve always been encouraged by major labels taking this space seriously … HOWEVER … regular readers will know that I’m far more bullish on the independent scene.
Web3 is a grassroots movement that will rise from the ground up not the top down. My entire thesis is that Web3 will give power to independent musicians who can move fast and experiment, which, in turn, will act as leverage on the bigger players.

As a side note, the characters who try to improve themselves and become their ideal selves look very nice.
Some of the characters are silly, but they look very endearing.
And while there are many villains appearing, people in this market should take a look in the mirror to see if they are like them.

- A Leap or A Slip? The null.6 Million CrypToadz NFT Purchase: A Breeding Ground for Wash Trading?
In the world of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), a bizarre purchase has caught the attention of the community raising questions on its legitimacy. A CrypToadz NFT, usually priced under $1000 was astonishingly acquired for a hefty sum of 1,055 Wrapped Ethereum (WETH), approximately null.6 million on an OpenSea market. This was a significant increase from its purchase price two weeks prior at around $1600.
The said NFT, describable as a small amphibious creature, is part of an impressive cluster of 6969 units created by an enigmatic digital artist, Gremplin. Notably, during its first ten days on the market, the CrypToadz collection experienced an unprecedented trading volume of 12,000 ETH ($38 million).
The conspicuous price tag associated with the NFT, however, has far-reaching implications. The noteworthy purchase was channeled through a digital wallet that was part of a transaction series anonymized by the Ethereum coin mixing platform, Tornado Cash. While some attributed the purchase to a transaction error, on the other hand, there seems to be an underlying explanation – a potential case of wash trading.
Wash trading involves a lengthy chain of transactions and exchanges aimed at liquidating funds of suspicious origins. Tornado Cash has a preceding reputation for its prevalent use by unscrupulous individuals for money laundering processes. A notable instance happened in August 2023 when the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned the crypto mixer for allegedly facilitating the laundering of crime proceeds. Despite this, it continues to be operative, and a separate instance included laundering nearly $60 million in Ether via Tornado Cash, stolen from AnubisDAO two years prior.
In other narrative, another instance of cyber mischief was reported in Hong Kong. Notably, Binance users fell victim to a phishing scam resulting in combined losses of over $446,000. Fraudsters, under the guise of Binance, distributed text messages to users threatening to deactivate their accounts if they failed to click a linked verification process.
These incidents act as ceremonial bells to highlight the necessity of vigilant practices in the rapidly advancing world of cryptocurrencies and NFT markets. As intriguing prospects of hefty profits continue to lure individuals into this realm, navigating safely through these digital alleys is essential to avoid falling prey to cunning cyber rascals. The crypto industry is indeed an alluring domain for financial progression but it important to tread cautiously as it contains an element of high risks.
