Binance announces strategic partnership with YG Entertainment

The growth of NFT is paving the way for a change in the paradigm of the music and K-pop industry by serving more than just a consumption purpose for fans. 

Binance, the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem as well as a cryptocurrency infrastructure provider, has announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to build a strategic partnership with YG Entertainment Inc. (YG), one of South Korea’s leading multinational entertainment corporations.   

As part of the strategic partnership, Binance and YG will cooperate on a range of blockchain projects, including collaborations in the NFT space. Binance will provide NFT platform & technology infrastructure while YG would supply NFT content and gaming assets.  

The two companies also have plans to develop Binance smart chain-based games, collaborate on building the Metaverse, and actively pursue various digital asset opportunities to develop unique experiences as well as services for fans.   

It is expected that the partnership between Binance and YG will create positive synergies between the two firms. A number of world-renowned K-pop stars are managed by YG, including Big Bang, Blackpink, Winner, iKon, AKMU, and Treasure. YG has immense potential to develop digital assets, including NFTs, using intellectual property (IP) rights in a wide range of business fields.   

NFT, which stands for a non-fungible token, is a one-of-a-kind digital token that allows artists to share their content in a unique way. The growth of NFT is paving the way for a change in the paradigm of the music and K-pop industry by serving more than just a consumption purpose for fans. 

K-pop has been at the forefront of the Korean wave, attracting millions of fans around the globe. It is expected that the MoU with Binance will allow YG to more actively extend its growth in the NFT market.
