DENVER, Colo., Sep 23, 2025 (247marketnews.com)- VENU (NYSE:VENU) and Fold Holdings (NASDAQ:FLD) stole headlines with bold visions that blend decentralization, digital assets, and real-world impact.
VENU’s JW Roth Goes Live on Bloomberg: ‘Fans Are the Future of Live Entertainment’
All eyes are on VENU this morning as Founder and CEO JW Roth appears on Bloomberg TV at 10:30 A.M. EST, outlining the company’s blueprint to disrupt the $466 billion global live events market through a fan-first, blockchain-enabled model.
With a $2 billion ticket sales goal and over $1.3 billion in venue construction projects, VENU isn’t just building music halls, it’s building a new entertainment economy. Roth is expected to detail how “fan-first and artist driven ownership is empowering audiences, altering financing and revenue models for venues and artists, and enhancing the live experience through deeper community engagement. Roth will share perspectives on how VENU is leading this transformation and what it means for the future of music and live entertainment.”
The platform’s launch in early 2026 aims to integrate VR/AR, token-gated access, and secondary royalty flows, with Roth emphasizing expansion “into homes, mobile phones, automobiles, and beyond.” VENU is positioning itself not just as a venue operator, but as a decentralized media powerhouse riding the wave of community-driven capitalism.
