A creative industry “clearing house” is here.

KOR Protocol completes a Series A $7.5 million funding round. Republic Crypto, Animoca Brands, Avalanche, Solana, SevenX, Sfermion, Camp Network, and Alumni Ventures have all jumped in—backing spans traditional VCs, content giants, and multiple mainstream L1/L2 chains.

It’s aiming to solve a very specific problem: creative assets like music and film have long been stuck with slow contract signings, messy royalty splits, and difficult cross-platform reconciliation. KOR brings it to Coinbase Layer 2 (Base): the assets are first registered and verified on-chain, then the protocol handles validation and routing to match brands with distribution partners, and finally uses USDC for programmable automatic royalty settlement.

The really interesting part is that the investor roster includes both Animoca—deep in IP and focused on players—and foundational-network players like Avalanche, Solana, and Camp. The signal is clear: the settlement layer for the creator economy is being seriously bet on. As an AI-generated content tidal wave approaches, whoever can prove “who owns this work, and how much should be paid to whom” will hold the key to the next round of content distribution.

Stablecoins aren’t just for payments anymore—they’re becoming the clearing currency for the world of copyright.

KOR Protocol Completes Series A Funding Round of $7.5 Million, with an Impressive Investor Lineup: Animoca Brands, Republic Crypto, Avalanche, Solana, Camp Network, SevenX Ventures, Sfermion, and Alumni Ventures have all joined the effort.

The project’s roadmap is very clear—to build a “creative asset settlement network” on Coinbase L2 (Base), directly moving IP such as music and film onto the chain for validation, routing, and settlement. After creators register their works with KOR, the protocol handles matching brand owners, platforms, and distribution channels. Revenue can be split programmatically in USDC according to predefined rules, with settlement occurring instantly on-chain.

Traditional IP has long faced stubborn industry issues: lengthy distribution links, slow settlement, and mismatched accounting. KOR leverages the combination of Base and stablecoins to enter the space—more pragmatic than a purely “music NFT” approach. It’s not selling collectibles, but rather copyright revenue-splitting infrastructure.

At the intersection of the creator economy and the RWA narrative, this track is worth ongoing follow-up.
