The New Era of Sports Fandom: Inside Dapper Labs with Matt Schorr

Digital Assets cover an amazing array of asset formation including stablecoins, full range of Decentralized Finance - DeFi, tokenized securities and of course trading cards.

On the heels of the recent NBA Finals – Knicks in 5 - we narrow our lens onto a massive evolution in sports fandom: the world of officially licensed digital collectibles. We are shifting focus away from the underlying code and complex tech stacks to talk about the pure consumer experience with Matt Schorr from NBA Top Shot. As traditional sports memorabilia moves from physical binders into the digital landscape, video highlights—or officially licensed "Moments"—are reshaping what it means to collect, trade, and own a piece of basketball history.

Our conversation will dive straight into Matt’s journey into sports tech and examines how everyday fans are actively engaging with this medium. We will break down the mechanics of the platform, unpacking how this deep collaboration with the NBA and the players union functions. Finally, we will look beyond the screen to discuss how digital ownership is crossing over into tangible fan experiences, exploring the (IRL) In Real Life; events, community gatherings, and real-world perks that are bridging the gap between digital collections and courtside seats.
