SoundCloud Acquires What’s Left of Nina Protocol

SoundCloud has acquired the decentralized music platform Nina Protocol months after the startup announced its shutdown. This strategic acquisition allows SoundCloud to integrate Nina Protocol’s editorial archive and music discovery tools into its existing platform. The deal enables artists from the decentralized service to opt into the SoundCloud creator ecosystem, supporting the company's ongoing efforts to expand its services and offerings for independent musicians through the integration of these specialized assets.
