        <image:title>The Merch Store Is Becoming the New Music Business: Why Artists Are Building Fan Commerce Around Their Music</image:title>
        <image:caption>Merchandise was once something fans bought after a concert. Now, a major shift is turning it into something much bigger: a direct connection between artists, fans, commerce and culture. A fresh industry deal involving Warner Music Group’s EMP business shows how merchandise is moving closer to the centre of the modern music ecosystem.</image:caption>

        <image:title>Music NFTs Didn’t Disappear. They Changed: The Quiet Shift From Digital Collectibles to Direct Fan Ownership</image:title>
        <image:caption>The music NFT boom may have lost its headlines, but blockchain is quietly finding a more practical role in the music business. Instead of chasing speculative collectibles, newer platforms are exploring direct sales, verifiable ownership, fan access and transparent transactions. For independent artists, the interesting opportunity may be less about crypto and more about building a closer relationship with listeners.</image:caption>
