    Ep. 666 BeatSwap | Music IP on the Blockchain (feat. Hazel Lee)

    For episode 666 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Hazel Lee, Co-founder of BeatSwap. As blockchain technology expands beyond finance into the cultural content sector, the BeatSwap project is innovating the way intellectual property (IP) rights are distributed. In the traditional IP rights industry, copyright management is opaque and settlements are slow, creating inefficiencies that prevent creators, investors, and fans from fully reaping the benefits.    To address these limitations, BeatSwap standardizes IP rights as real-world assets (RWA), offering a new value proposition where anyone can transparently own and trade them. BeatSwap bills itself as “the world’s first Web3 full-stack IP rights platform” and aims to implement the entire lifecycle of IP rights on the blockchain—from the creation stage and IP rights registration, to fan community participation, rights tokenization, and decentralized trading.   📣 This episode is brought to you by Sumsub.   Sumsub is a leading full-cycle verification platform purpose-built for the crypto industry, chosen by 8 out of 10 of the biggest global exchanges. It helps VASPs, exchanges, and DeFi platforms prevent fraud, stay compliant, and scale globally. From instant KYC and KYB to automated crypto transaction monitoring, as well as full Travel Rule compliance with over 1,800+iGaming Fintech VASPs in their Travel Rule ecosystem, their no-code platform adapts to evolving threats, market demands, and global regulations.   You can learn more about Sumsub at https://sumsub.com    Check out Sumsub’s YouTube channel here: https://bit.ly/SubscribeToSumsub      ⏳ Timestamps:   (0:00) Sumsub (0:44) Introduction (1:49) Who is Hazel Lee?
