Live-streaming platform and on-demand media company, LiveOne (NASDAQ:LVO), is enjoying some well earned publicity today after a big announcement. LiveOne has entered a binding letter of intent with stock-trading simulator Trader2B. Interestingly, the deal will “gamify” LiveOne’s platform with Trader2B’s trading technology, allowing users to win prizes for skilled trading. Investors are hesitantly eying LVO stock today, which has surprisingly trended down 3% on the news.
So, what’s in store for LiveOne following this latest deal? Well, Makram Kebti, chief executive of Trader2b, explained and offered some kind words.
“My team and I are thrilled to partner with LiveOne to create a platform that will be fun and educational. Trader2B has trained thousands of people in simulation over the last few years. We look forward to sharing our knowledge and technology to grow LiveOne’s membership base and their engagement across the platform while focusing on music stocks and offering content and prizes from LiveOne’s products and partners.”
LiveOne made history this year after launching the first-ever non-fungible token (NFT) music festival poster, for its “Music Lives” streaming event. It appears this is yet another step toward a sort of music metaverse.
