IPX, an agentic operating system and tokenized exchange for intellectual property built on Base, closed a $4 million seed round at a $125 million valuation. Bitsurge Holdings led the round alongside YICIPX Holdings Family Office.
More than 100 celebrities have signed exclusive tokenization agreements ahead of the IPXOS, IPX Exchange and $IPX token launch on Base on November 15, 2026.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2026 — Built on Base, IPX combines an agentic operating system for intellectual property with a tokenized launchpad and IPX Exchange. It enables creators to tokenize, advertise, monetize and distribute via one seamless OS, empowering creators and rights holders with revolutionary tools and information to build businesses around their work.
IPX today announced the close of a $4 million seed round at a $125 million valuation. Bitsurge Holdings led the round alongside YICIPX Holdings Family Office, with participation from a group of strategic investors.
IPX’s slate of IP Tokens consists of celebrities, athletes, artists, actors, producers and independent rights holders, with over 100 celebrities having signed exclusive agreements to tokenize custom original IP on the platform. The tokenization slate consists of Hollywood Films & TV Series both legacy and new, A List Athlete Video Games, and YouTube Creator Membership Tokens on Day 1.
The platform’s native token, $IPX, powers the IPX OS and exchange. Every project token on the platform is paired with $IPX. Platform revenue, IP Revenue, Sponsorship Commissions, network fees, monthly subscription revenue and revenue from the company’s off-platform subsidiaries fund $IPX buybacks.
Fans can buy, sell, trade and stake IP tokens at any time on IPX Exchange. Real IP that produces real revenue, which fuels real rewards.
“We’re building a new covenant for IP: creators keep ownership, fans unlock funding and earn a share in the upside. IPX is the operating system that makes it happen with seamless traditional finance to tokenization rails, enabling transparency fueling rewards all without taking ownership from the people who create it. Hollywood, gaming and YouTube Membership Tokens are day one. Creators build culture. Fans make it matter. They should hold the power,” said Brendan McCafferty, founder and CEO of IPX. “Creators shouldn’t have to sell their IP to fund their next project. Fans shouldn’t be shut out of the upside they help create. IPX exists to break this broken system once and for all.”
To connect project revenue with onchain participation, IPX integrates traditional financial infrastructure with blockchain rails. Its banking capabilities include large-scale on- and off-ramps via globally available non-custodial virtual checking accounts. Contractual obligations and platform terms enforce the requirement for project revenue to return through the system.
Today’s funding announcement begins a series of updates leading to the November 15 launch. IPX plans to share news nearly every week, introducing the technology, partners and first original projects that will bring its mission to market.
