Through the partnership, referred to as “Blockbuster meets blockchain” in the press release, the firms will establish a new film financing route for television, internet, and studio projects. Using tZERO’s tokenization protocol, BLOQ FLIX will enable qualified investors to participate in the funding process.
"We are thrilled to partner with the BLOQ FLIX team to bring a secure and innovative investment alternative to film financing. Our continued goal is to tokenize and trade assets that can benefit from blockchain technology, and digitizing film financing fits this model nicely," said tZERO CEO Saum Noursalehi, in a statement.
According to BLOQ FLIX CEO Brandon Hogan, blockchain will streamline the funding process by providing capital directly to studios and producers.
The brokerage JumpStart Securities will serve as placement agent for these offerings.
Hogan and BLOQ FlIX co-founder Jonathan Helmuth have collectively raised over $100 million in production funds throughout their careers, according to the press release.
In July, tZERO announced it will tokenize and raise up to $40 million in funding for Atari founder Nolan Bushnell’s biopic, with film production and financing company Vision Tree.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
