The marketplace will run on Dapper Labs’ Flow blockchain, which is known for hosting the popular NBA Top Shot series of digital collectibles. In June, Dapper Labs CEO Roham Gharegozlou was among several people who invested in a $4 million seed round for NFT marketplace NFT Genius to get the music-themed marketplace onto the Flow blockchain.
RCRDSHP plans to release packs of collectibles that will “encapsulate a unique aspect of an artist, label or festival’s musical worlds” and prioritize affordability, the company said in a press release.
The latest pack released by RCRDSHP featured a combination of artist portraits and digital artwork. The 8,888 packs that were included in the release sold out in less than eight minutes.

Stablecoin Adoption Is ‘Exploding' — Here's Why Wall Street Is Going All-In
Alchemy co-founder and president Joe Lau said stablecoin adoption is exploding as banks, fintechs and payment platforms push beyond the USDT/USDC exchange era.
What to know:
- Stablecoin usage is quickly broadening from crypto-native exchanges into payments, payroll and treasury as companies chase 24/7, digital-native settlement, according to Alchemy Co-founder and President Joe Lau.
- Banks are pushing tokenized deposits as a regulated, bank-native alternative that delivers stablecoin-like benefits for institutional clients.
