Camp Network aims to build a dedicated tokenization infrastructure to address information asymmetry and financial exclusion in entertainment IP. While BlackRock, JPMorgan, and other global financial giants move real-world assets on-chain to demonstrate the viability of real-world asset markets, IP remains an underserved area in DeFi. The company announced on March 4 via X that it will develop this infrastructure to bring entertainment IP into on-chain finance.
The network argues that the current RWA market is overly focused on standardized assets and that the vast annual entertainment spend—about $300 billion—remains underdeveloped in terms of financial infrastructure. Entertainment IP yields trackable cash flows through royalties and license fees, with data such as Spotify streaming and iTunes sales providing verifiable signals. Because of this, IP is viewed as well-suited to help solve the oracle problem that has plagued many RWA projects.
Historically, musicians and studios were subjected to unfavorable terms, such as selling catalog rights to private equity at depressed prices, and traditional banks struggle to value intangible assets and provide suitable lending. Camp Network will replace these structures with a transparent, smart-contract-based system. When studios or labels seek funding through Camp Network, the system analyzes ownership and cash flows, forms a special purpose vehicle (SPV), and tokenizes it. Investors can stake to hold IP equity, and royalties accrue automatically through smart contracts, offering yields and the emotional satisfaction of directly backing content.
Camp Network’s infrastructure also ties into the DeFi lending protocol Morpho to improve liquidity of the IP Vault token. Investors can collateralize IP tokens to borrow stablecoins or employ leverage to maximize capital efficiency. The effort is part of a broader push to capture the $1.7 trillion private credit market at the intersection of entertainment and finance, and moving just 1% of annual entertainment revenues on-chain could generate about $3 billion in new deal flow. The team says IP is easier to track and more digital-friendly than other assets, yet undervalued in the digital-asset space, and aims to bring IP into mainstream on-chain finance to prove its value.
