Tokenizing Films
It has recently been announced that tZERO has partnered with BLOQ FLIX, with the intent on financing films through tokenization.
Films are expensive endeavours, which are constantly in need of fundraising. They are also a prime candidate for transformation through the use of blockchain based financing. Recognizing the potential to disrupt the way films are financed, BLOQ FLIX, has set out to do just that.
By turning to tokenization, film projects in need of financing can gain access to large investor pools more easily – increasing the likelihood of successfully completing a project. Tokenization also opens up the potential for investors to capitalize on a lucrative industry – something that has not been possible before.
Made Possible by…
As this entire process relies upon tokenization with projected returns, companies utilizing the services of tZERO and BLOQ FLIX are, in turn, distributing securities. As the digital securities sector is a highly regulated one, a registered broker/dealer is required to facilitate the process.
The company chosen by BLOQ FLIX to fill this role is, none other than, JumpStart Securities. We recently reported on JumpStart Securities, as they will also be lending their services to the highly anticipated expansion of MERJ Digital Exchange.

Growing Trend
This is not the first time that tZERO has been attached to the tokenization of a film project. We recently reported on a similar partnership, involving tZERO and Vision Tree, which would see the pair facilitate the creation of a Biopic about gaming icon, Atari.
