A question
worth answering.

If Spotify monthly listeners and YouTube views are the numbers the music industry actually watches, what would a stock market built around them look like?

Muses has been circling that question for ten years. This is the current answer — a paper-trading prototype where artist "prices" are a real function of monthly listeners, channel growth, and chart position. Every 30 minutes the prices update against live Spotify and YouTube data.

You can trade 105 artists right now with €10,000 in virtual credits. No real money moves. The prices are real; the portfolio is a toy. That's the honest version of what this is.

Why bother? Because the music industry's economics are increasingly determined by streaming numbers that anyone can look up, and it's strange that there's no market-shaped way to take a position on those numbers. Maybe there shouldn't be. Maybe there should. This is the cheapest way to find out.

If it clicks with people, there are interesting places to take it next. Either way, Muses stands on its own as a product we're proud to have built.
