world assets and blockchain technology,” said Ron Levy, Chief Executive Officer of The Crypto Company.
“Joining TCC allows us to accelerate innovation from within the media and entertainment industry,” said Peter Agelasto, Co-Founder of Starchive. “Creators want full control over their production, distribution, and monetization. The next era points to connected digital wallets paying creators directly for access to their IP. Starchive is their on-ramp to that Web3 world-the Creator Web.”
“Together with TCC, we’re giving creators, studios and brands the ability to turn every file-from photos to film archives-into a portable, blockchain-secured asset class capable of earning income anywhere it travels,” said Richard Averitt, President of Starchive.” The synergy between TCC and Starchive positions Starchive to lead the next wave of on-chain real-world assets and expand the market for digital IP.”
The acquisition further reinforces TCC’s broader strategy to acquire and build companies where blockchain solves real-world challenges. The combined platform enables on-chain royalties, direct-to-fan engagement, tokenized media ownership, and transparent digital provenance-powered by smart contracts and AI-driven indexing.
“This marks a defining moment for TCC,” added Levy. “Starchive brings a strong user base, and an established platform that aligns with our mission to make blockchain tangible, useful, and profitable.”
