Jeremy Gardner’s Bump FM is redefining the music industry by blending crypto, prediction markets, and streaming. Described as “Polymarket meets Spotify,” the platform lets fans bet on which songs or artists will go viral—turning music discovery into a chance to earn. With a focus on independent talent and community-driven support, Bump FM creates a bold new model for funding and sharing music.
