City Protocol is developing a decentralized protocol designed to establish capital market infrastructure for intellectual property (IP). By bringing IP on-chain, the project aims to make it a more accessible and liquid asset class, supported by tools for IP verification, financing, and scalable growth.
In traditional capital markets, companies such as Apple and Tesla have demonstrated how access to early-stage capital and financial infrastructure can contribute to long-term growth into trillion-dollar enterprises. In contrast, IP—despite being one of the world’s most valuable assets—has historically been limited to royalties, licensing agreements, and fragmented ownership structures. Disney, with a market capitalization in the $200–300 billion range, exemplifies the scale of value that IP can generate when paired with capital infrastructure.
City Protocol seeks to address this imbalance by introducing an on-chain IP capital market. The protocol is designed to enable creators to tokenize their IP from the earliest stages, with infrastructure that facilitates participation from communities and access to capital through decentralized mechanisms.
Supported by a group of Web3-focused investors, City Protocol is building a full-stack ecosystem that includes IP verification, financing tools, launchpads, and infrastructure for scaling IP-based projects on-chain.
What is City Protocol
City Protocol is a decentralized IP protocol with a mission to liberate cultural and narrative assets from closed ecosystems and bring them into the on-chain capital market making them liquid, scalable, and globally accessible.
In traditional models, IP growth depends on centralized platforms or publishers. Creators are bound by their rules, capital requirements, and distribution bottlenecks, which often bury early-stage creativity and hand disproportionate value to intermediaries. City Protocol disrupts this by introducing the logic of the on-chain capital market:
- Disintermediated issuance: Ideas can be tokenized from Day 1, immediately entering liquidity markets for pricing and funding.
- Community co-creation: Supporters become more than consumers—they are co-owners of the IP, growing alongside it and sharing in the upside.
- Cultural assetization: Creativity evolves into a financialized cultural asset, capable of being traded, combined, and expanded.
Through this infrastructure, City Protocol supports the full lifecycle of IP:
- Birth: Decentralized issuance and capital backing solve the cold-start problem.
- Growth: Community-driven content creation and distribution enable sustained storytelling and narrative expansion.
- Maturity: On-chain financial instruments and index products capture and invest in the long-term value of IP.
Ultimately, City Protocol builds an IP Capital Market where IPs are no longer dependent on single platforms or publishers, but instead co-shaped by communities and markets—unlocking sustainable cycles of growth and value creation.
Team and Backing
The City Protocol core team brings both crypto-native expertise and traditional entertainment and finance resources. They have been deeply involved in leading Web3 projects like Animoca, The Sandbox, Dapper Labs, and Memeland, while also holding experience at institutions such as HSBC, MediaAsia, and LVMH. This cross-industry background allows City Protocol to uniquely bridge on-chain innovation with real-world networks.
On the funding side, City Protocol is backed by top-tier investors including Jump Trading, Dragonfly, and CMT Digital, providing strong capital market support for building its IP ecosystem.
Core Product Ecosystem
City Protocol’s product architecture covers the entire IP assetization flow, forming a closed-loop ecosystem built around four core components:
- IP Verification Layer – Ensures authenticity and copyright ownership on-chain, establishing trust for creators, communities, and investors.
- IP RWA (IP Strategy) – Enables financing and liquidity for small, early-stage and established IPs, ensuring that creators and communities can share growth value from the very beginning.
- AI + Growth Scaling Engine – Powered by tools such as City ID, Viral City, and The Totem Toy City, this module amplifies IP impact, drives viral distribution, and extends virtual IPs into real-world brands.
- Launchpad – A fair, transparent issuance and trading platform tailored for IP projects, protecting creator rights and ensuring open access to capital.
Together, these four modules create a full-stack on-chain ecosystem that covers incubation, growth, distribution, and governance—allowing creators, communities, and investors to jointly participate in and benefit from the growth of cultural assets.
Future Outlook: Unlocking Infinite Potential for the IP Market
If DeFi brought the capital markets on-chain, City Protocol’s vision is to bring culture and storytelling on-chain.
- For creators, this represents unprecedented empowerment. They are no longer bound by centralized platforms or intermediaries. Instead, they can directly engage communities to launch, fund, and grow their IPs—lowering barriers and turning ideas into tradable, scalable assets.
- For supporters, it’s the first time they can participate as true stakeholders in cultural assets, rather than passive consumers. Communities can capture both early and long-term IP value, becoming true co-builders of cultural ecosystems.
- For the industry at large, City Protocol marks the shift from closed to open, opaque to programmable, and isolated value to composable capital markets. IPs evolve from being mere content or entertainment products into financialized cultural assets with investment potential.
City Protocol positions itself as more than just a protocol—it represents a structural transformation in the IP capital market. By significantly reducing the friction traditionally associated with IP trading, the project aims to make the exchange of cultural and narrative assets as seamless as financial and physical assets on-chain.
City Protocol provides the answer: by building end-to-end on-chain infrastructure for IPs, it allows creators, supporters, and investors to co-create and co-capture value in a single ecosystem.
Every idea can become a capitalized cultural asset. Every community member can be a value co-creator. Every investor can join the early growth of IP markets.
This is not just an upgrade to the traditional IP industry—it is the starting point for the on-chain cultural capital market.
About City Protocol
City Protocol is a decentralized protocol powering IP Capital Markets; designed for creators to launch, scale, and sustain IP. We bring IP assets, DATs and RWA onchain, powering IP as a global asset class. For the first time, creativity gains liquidity and scalability like companies unlocked through IPOs — now powered by decentralized markets.

Tria (tria.so) has raised $12 million in pre-seed and strategic funding to build a global self-custodial neobank—designed for both humans and AI agents. The round includes participation from P2 Ventures, Aptos, Tria’s own community and executives from Polygon, Ethereum Foundation, Wintermute, Sentient, 0G, Concrete, Eigen, and others. Polychain and Polygon served as Pre-seed advisors.
Neobanks like Revolut and Monzo simplified fiat finance by masking legacy complexity and are now managing over $4 trillion in global transactions. Web3 takes this further by removing intermediaries entirely.
Tria is solving the biggest gap in crypto: actually using it. For the first time, users can spend, trade, and earn – all from one self-custodial balance, without ever thinking about gas, bridges, or seed phrases.
From grabbing coffee in Tokyo to swapping tokens across chains, Tria enables instant, seamless, and fee-free transactions. Its Visa cards function in over 150 countries and support more than 1,000 tokens. Trades are routed through Tria’s BestPath engine for optimized execution, and idle assets earn yield that automatically repays the card balance.
Tria’s proprietary technology is called BestPath AVS – a decentralized settlements marketplace where solvers, routers, and relayers compete to route transactions instantly across chains. BestPath routes payments and trades for over 250K users, used by 70+ protocols and AI ecosystems like Polygon, Arbitrum, Sentient and Injective.
Stablecoins, RWAs, and autonomous agents are rewriting the financial stack. On-chain volume is projected to hit $100T by 2030, yet 98% of users are still stuck in legacy UX. Revolut unlocked TradFi via design. Web3 now needs the same – without giving up custody. By 2030, over 25% of global digital payments (~$25–30T annually) will be executed by AI agents. Tria is that missing piece: the consumer neobank up top and the programmable payments infrastructure underneath.
Founded by Parth Bhalla and Vijit Katta, Tria’s team includes alumni from Binance, Polygon, OpenSea, Nethermind, Intel and more – with backing from prominent UAE Royal Family and government officials and leaders from Ethereum Foundation, Polygon, and Wintermute.
As part of its commitment to build with the community, not just for it – Tria is said to be preparing a public allocation round. The offering would give users a chance to own a stake in the neobank they use. Official details are expected to be announced soon via Tria’s social channels – X and Linktree.
About Tria
Tria is a self-custodial neobank that unifies spending, trading, and earning across all chains — without bridges, gas, or custodians. Built for both humans and AI, Tria makes money programmable, enabling anyone or any agent to transact natively on-chain. Powered by its interoperability layer, BestPath AVS, Tria abstracts away the complexity of crypto to deliver instant, global, and autonomous finance.

The Processing Foundation and Tezos Foundation today announced a strategic partnership to introduce an educational series showcasing p5.js 2.0, the latest version of the popular creative coding library. The collaboration will produce a series of high-quality tutorials led by internationally recognized generative artists, with each tutorial culminating in an exclusive artwork release on EditArt, a leading generative art platform on the Tezos blockchain. This announcement is the next step in the ongoing commitment to advancing generative art education, as demonstrated by the Museum of the Moving Image’s presentation of Compositions in Code: The Art of Processing and p5.js – a major exhibition on view through August 24, 2025 – organized in partnership with the Tezos Foundation and in association with the Processing Foundation.Â
The tutorial series combines the Processing Foundation’s 20+ year legacy of making programming accessible to artists with the Tezos Foundation’s commitment to fostering digital art innovation on the Tezos blockchain. Each participating artist will create an in-depth tutorial exploring p5.js 2.0’s and create a generative artwork for EditArt, the intuitive co-creation platform where collectors shape the code using simple sliders to collect their own unique final outputs.
This initiative builds on the Tezos Foundation’s longstanding support for generative art, following its acclaimed presentations at Art Basel Hong Kong and Miami in 2021 and 2022, where interactive experiences introduced global audiences to the creative possibilities of blockchain-powered art. In 2024, the Tezos Foundation’s partnership with Musée d’Orsay also presented Lumina (Σ Lumina). An interactive generative installation by artist Agoria, it was created in collaboration with artist Johan Lescure and made available to museum visitors.Â
“This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to expand access to creative coding tools and support artists worldwide,” said Xin Xin, Co-Executive Director of the Processing Foundation. “By combining educational content with real-world applications on platforms like EditArt, we’re creating a complete pathway for artists to learn, create, and share their work with collectors.”
“We’re thrilled to support the Processing Foundation in bringing world-class creative coding education to a broader audience,” said Aleksandra Artamonovskaja, Head of Arts at Trilitech. “This initiative not only celebrates the tools that have shaped digital art history but also demonstrates how blockchain technology can create sustainable opportunities for artists and educators alike.”Â
The tutorial series is expected to launch in late 2025, with videos released monthly. All content will be freely accessible, continuing the Processing Foundation’s commitment to open-source education that has empowered generations of digital artists since 2001.

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — (NYSE AMERICAN: BMNR) BitMine Immersion Technologies (“BitMine” or the “Company”) a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network Company with a focus on the accumulation of Crypto for long term investment, today announced crypto BitMine crypto + cash + “moonshots” holdings totalling $13.4 billion.
As of October 12th at 6:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 3,032,188 ETH at $4,154 per ETH (Bloomberg), 192 Bitcoin (BTC), $135 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and unencumbered cash of $104 million.

“The crypto liquidation over the past few days created a price decline in ETH, which BitMine took advantage of. We acquired 202,037 ETH tokens over the past few days pushing our ETH holdings to over 3 million, or 2.5% of the supply of ETH,” said Thomas “Tom” Lee of Fundstrat, Chairman of BitMine. “We are now more than halfway towards our initial pursuit of the ‘alchemy of 5%’ of ETH.”
The GENIUS Act and SEC’s Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2025 as US action on August 15, 1971 ending Bretton Woods and the USD on the gold standard 54 years ago.

BitMine is now one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $3.5 billion (5-day average, as of October 10, 2025), ranking #22 in the US, behind Coinbase (rank #21) and ahead of UnitedHealth (rank #23) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

ViaBTC, the third largest BTC mining pool, announced a major upgrade to its crypto loan offerings. The revamped Collateral-pledged Loan service now supports multiple cryptocurrencies as collateral and features a streamlined lending process, making it easier for miners to access liquidity.
This enhanced service serves as a powerful tool for miners facing liquidity challenges in their operations. It allows users to borrow USDT for everyday expenses—such as electricity and equipment costs—without liquidating their crypto holdings, enabling them to capitalize on potential future price appreciation.
