Scenius Studio Presents: "The Use-Case" (Episode #55)
Cooper Turley -- Coop Records
Welcome to “The Use-Case” a mini-series brought to you by Scenius Studio
Through Scenius Studio, Ben has interviewed 50 of the crypto industry’s top GPs and CIOs across liquid and private markets. One thing is clear, crypto has some savvy investors. Yet, both inside and outside the industry, the same question lingers: where are the real-world use-cases? We’ve built the infrastructure, but where are the apps? What commercial opportunities can blockchain and crypto uniquely unlock? Is speculation really the only game in town?
With The Use-Case, we’re spotlighting underrepresented companies and protocols that are building real, commercially viable businesses—ventures that couldn’t exist without crypto’s underlying technology. We’ll sit down with Founders and CEOs who are reshaping industries with blockchain at their core. Crypto isn’t just an asset class. it’s an enabling technology rewiring entire sectors.

Cooper is a rare talent with a deep understanding of the music and crypto industries. If anyone could figure out how crypto can disrupt the rigid, weird world of music, it’s Cooper.
