Matthew McConaughey speaks out about the devastating floods that ravaged his home state of Texas: ‘A long road ahead'
Matthew McConaughey is pleading with fans to 'lend a helping hand' after the catastrophic floods ravaged his home state of Texas, killing dozens of people. 'At least 70 lives have been lost, many more are unaccounted for, and countless Texans are hurting – inside and out,' the 'Dallas Buyers Club' star wrote on X Sunday. 'If you're able, please lend a helping hand where and how you can. It's gonna be a long road ahead, but right now the shock, the pain, and the chaos need the steady hand of a neighbor.' 'Texans are some of the most resilient and generous people on the planet,' McConaughey, who was born in Uvalde, concluded. The 55-year-old actor's comments follow the Guadalupe River overflowing its banks during torrential rains on Thursday night into Friday, causing devastating flash floods to sweep through central Texas. McConaughey has joined a list of celebrities who have spoken out about the devastation in the Lone Star State. Jennifer Garner, who was born in Houston, wrote a simple message of support for Texans on her Instagram story Sunday. 'Texas. God, be near,' the actress wrote. Colombian pop singer Shakira has pledged to donate the proceeds from her concert in San Antonio to Catholic Charities of San Antonio. 'Dear San Antonio, Our hearts and prayers are with those affected by the flood in Central Texas. We are donating a portion of tonight's show proceeds to Catholic Charities of San Antonio, who are providing disaster relief to the families impacted,' the Grammy-winning singer wrote on X Saturday. 'If you would like to join me in donating, please click on the link below. Your help is important and appreciated.' The death toll from the catastrophic Texas floods has risen to at least 82 Sunday night, with dozens more people missing, and the number of those killed is only expected to rise as the Lone Star State sifts through the wreckage. At least 68 are dead at the flooding's epicenter in Kerr County, while 12 more were killed in other counties. The confirmed dead in Kerr were 40 adults and 28 children. Officials said 11 girls and one counselor are still missing from Camp Mystic, the Christian girls' summer camp just off the banks of the Guadalupe River. Five campers, ages 8 and 9, have been confirmed dead in the flooding, along with the camp's owner. Some 400 first responders from 20 agencies, including city, state, and national organizations, are continuing the rescue operation in Kerr County, where they face difficult conditions with trees and other debris still scattered across the countryside. As of Sunday, there have been 525 rescue operations across the state, with 366 being conducted by air. More than 850 people were rescued within 36 hours of the flash flooding, which began after a sudden storm dumped over a foot of rain on the region, according to officials.

The Sound Of Money: From Fans To Stakeholders
Charles Morey, CEO, MobilEyes Inc. The Silent Revolution That Will Redefine Music Ownership Forever For more than a century, the music industry has been defined by its gatekeepers. A select few labels, executives and institutions controlled what was heard, who succeeded and who profited. Fans consumed what was distributed. Artists traded away ownership for the promise of exposure. Wealth concentrated at the top, while creators and consumers were left with little influence and even less reward. That era is ending. Behind the scenes, a revolution is quietly unfolding—one poised to upend the traditional structures not only of music but of ownership itself. At the center of this transformation is tokenization, a technology powerful enough to reorganize the flow of value, dissolve legacy hierarchies and rebuild the industry around something far more enduring: direct participation. The Collapse Of The Old Model For decades, artists had few options. Recording deals meant sacrificing control over masters and royalties. Revenue streams passed through layer upon layer of intermediaries. Even with the rise of streaming, artists earn only fractions of a cent per play, while rights remain entangled in complex legal frameworks built for another era. This system has worked well—for those at the top. For everyone else, it has produced diminishing returns. Tokenization offers a different path. Instead of surrendering ownership, artists can now fractionalize it, offering fans the ability to directly participate in the financial success of their music. Through blockchain-based tokens, royalties, rights and exclusive experiences can be distributed not as merchandise or fan clubs but as digital assets with real, tangible value. Fans are no longer mere listeners—they are investors, stakeholders and participants. This is not theoretical—it is happening now. In 2021, the artist 3LAU sold a collection of music NFTs for $11.6 million. The offering granted holders access to exclusive music and private experiences, turning fans into partners. Platforms like Royal and Polymesh allow artists to tokenize a percentage of future royalties. Legendary rapper Nas embraced this model, selling streaming rights to his music directly to fans, who now share in the upside. This is not just about new income streams. It is about dismantling the centuries-old distinction between creator and consumer. A New Music Economy Is Emerging Beyond simple ownership, tokenization unlocks entirely new business models. Artists can now finance albums by offering tokens backed by future royalties. Fans can resell these tokens, creating liquid secondary markets. Communities can coalesce around collections of music tokens, voting on new releases, collaborations or tour destinations. Platforms like Audius are decentralizing music streaming by enabling artists to distribute directly to fans and rewarding both with native tokens for participation. Opulous is building financial products specifically for musicians, allowing them to access capital by collateralizing their music rights. These innovations are not abstractions. They are live systems that are scaling and reshaping the economics of an industry that has long resisted disruption. Music tokenization is quietly turning creativity into an asset class—something fans can own, trade and invest in. For artists, it creates new revenue models not tethered to traditional intermediaries. For fans, it transforms loyalty into literal equity. The Return To Sound Money Principles While the focus remains squarely on music, tokenization is subtly aligning the industry with the principles behind SoundMoney Protocol—scarcity, transparency, verifiability and decentralization. Music tokens are digital assets tied to real revenue streams. They live on decentralized blockchains, are governed by immutable smart contracts and are free from the manipulation that defined past financial structures in music. In the same way that sound money protects against inflation and hidden costs, tokenization ensures that creative value is fairly distributed and securely owned. Without fanfare, music is adopting the same foundational ideals that are reshaping finance and digital ownership worldwide. Traditional Institutions Are Taking Notice At first, the major labels and legacy institutions dismissed tokenization as a passing trend. That is no longer possible. Warner Music Group's partnership with OpenSea and Universal Music Group's creation of Kingship, a virtual band comprised of NFT avatars, signal a clear acknowledgment that tokenized assets are here to stay. These moves reveal a broader truth: The traditional business model, built on control and scarcity of access, cannot compete with a system where access is democratized and ownership is distributed. Tokenization does not merely challenge the incumbents—it renders much of their advantage obsolete. Challenges Are Real, But So Is Momentum Of course, tokenization is not without its hurdles. Regulatory uncertainty lingers, particularly around the classification of tokenized royalties as securities. Taxation frameworks are underdeveloped. Mainstream adoption is hampered by technical complexity and blockchain's intimidating learning curve. A Deloitte report identifies scalability, regulatory clarity and user experience as critical challenges to widespread blockchain adoption. But technological evolution rarely follows a straight line. It moves in waves—slow adoption, then sudden acceleration. Given the forces in play—greater transparency, more equitable economics, direct engagement between artists and fans—the momentum behind tokenized music assets is undeniable. Why This Matters The implications stretch far beyond music. Tokenization reimagines the fan-artist relationship as a partnership. It liberates creators from legacy contracts and intermediaries. It turns creativity into a verifiable, tradable asset that grows in value over time. In the coming years, I believe we will see not just a handful of artists adopting tokenization but an entire generation growing up expecting to own part of the culture they consume. Music will not merely be streamed; it will be held, staked and shared—an asset class for a new era of ownership and decentralization. Conclusion Music has always reflected broader societal transformations. From vinyl to streaming, from radio to the internet, each leap reshaped the culture. Tokenization is more than a technological shift. It is a fundamental redesign of ownership itself, quietly building a more equitable, decentralized foundation for the next generation of artists and fans.
