We study how investor composition is related to future return, trading volume, and price volatility in the cross-
section of the music-content non-fungible tokens (music NFTs). Our results show that the breadth of NFT
ownership negatively predicts weekly collection-level median-price returns and trading counts. In contrast,
ownership concentration and the fraction of small wallets are positive predictors. The fraction of large NFT
wallets is a bearish signal for future collection floor-price returns. Investor composition measures have weak
predictive power on price volatility. Further analysis indicates that an artist’s Spotify presence moderates the
predictive power of investor composition for future NFT returns and trading volume, consistent with the
notion that reducing information asymmetry helps improve price efficiency.
