economymono_bz65a7Blockchain-powered Listen-to-Earn platform introduces revenue sharing and ownership to audio streaming.
Jacksonville, Florida, United States, 31st Dec 2025 – Wavio today announced the launch of its next-generation audio streaming platform, designed to fundamentally change how value is created and shared in the audio industry. Unlike traditional streaming services, Wavio enables listeners and creators to earn WAVIO tokens for participation while sharing in the platform’s revenue, shifting ownership away from corporations and back to the community.
Wavio introduces a Listen-to-Earn and Create-to-Earn model that rewards real engagement rather than extracting value from it. As users listen to audio content or create and share it, they earn WAVIO, aligning incentives across the entire ecosystem.
The platform is now live at www.wavio.ai.
“We are changing the game,” said Rob W. Crouch, MBA, MSc, Founder of Wavio. “Listeners and creators will own a piece of the pie — not the corporations.”
Redefining Audio Streaming with Ownership and Revenue Sharing
For decades, the audio industry has followed the same structure: creators supply content, listeners supply attention, and platforms capture the majority of the value. Wavio was built to break that cycle.
On Wavio:
- Listeners earn WAVIO tokens for active listening
- Creators earn WAVIO tokens when their audio is streamed
- Platform revenue is shared with the community rather than centralized
This approach transforms listening from passive consumption into active participation and allows creators to earn based on genuine engagement rather than opaque royalty formulas.
No Middlemen, No Corporate Control
Wavio eliminates traditional gatekeepers that dominate the audio industry. There are no labels dictating terms, no delayed royalty payments, and no algorithms designed solely to maximize corporate profit.
Instead, Wavio operates on transparent rules that reward contributors directly and fairly.
“For years, platforms monetized attention without rewarding it,” Crouch added.
“Wavio makes listening valuable and aligns the success of the platform with the people who power it.”
Built by a 20-Year Radio Executive and U.S. Navy Veteran
Wavio was founded by Rob W. Crouch, MBA, MSc, a U.S. Navy veteran who served 10 years as a Navy Corpsman before spending more than 20 years in radio broadcasting and digital media leadership.
Crouch began his career in 2001 as a DJ and Account Executive at iHeartMedia and later served as a General Manager and Digital Sales Manager overseeing multi-million-dollar sales budgets in major markets. At Salem Broadcasting, he helped grow digital sales from $0 to $3 million, delivering 30% annual revenue growth through data-driven digital strategy and audience engagement.
To build Wavio, Crouch combined his industry experience with advanced technical expertise, earning a Master of Science in Cybersecurity and an MBA in Digital Marketing, with a focus on secure systems, AI, and scalable digital platforms.
“I helped build the old system, and I saw where it failed creators and listeners,” Crouch said. “Wavio is about fixing that — permanently.”
A Platform Built for the Future of Audio
Wavio is designed for long-term sustainability and growth, with a community-first economic model that supports creators, rewards listeners, and scales with demand. Planned expansions include enhanced creator tools, AI-powered discovery, and social features — all aligned with the same core mission: shared ownership instead of extraction.
