What Republic Crypto does

Republic Crypto is the on-chain investment and blockchain infrastructure division of Republic (legal entity: OpenDeal Inc.), headquartered at 149 5th Avenue, New York. The platform provides a regulated marketplace for issuers to raise capital across U.S. Securities Act frameworks — Regulation CF, Regulation D, Regulation A+, and Regulation S — serving retail, accredited, and institutional investors through republic.com, a dedicated europe.republic.com platform (post-Seedrs acquisition), and native iOS/Android applications. Republic Crypto extends the core offering into blockchain-native services: RWA tokenization for equity, debt, commodities, and institutional funds; Web3 advisory covering token design, tokenomics, and security tokenization; and on-chain infrastructure including Wallet-as-a-Service, PoS staking with white-label validators, RPC infrastructure, and foundation support for blockchain networks. The proprietary Sharedops™ system enables equity distribution to community members and NFT holders, and the Republic Note product bundles exposure to 750+ ventures into a single evergreen investment.

Revenue is generated through transaction and fundraising fees on capital raises, take rates on the 24/7 secondary marketplace for private shares, professional services fees for Web3 advisory and RWA tokenization engagements, and managed-services revenue from validator and RPC infrastructure delivered to enterprise clients. Go-to-market is hybrid: product-led self-serve for retail and accredited investors, community-led for issuers activating their customer bases as investors (a referral program pays $2,500 per referred startup), and direct enterprise sales targeting institutional clients including Google, SK Planet, Avalanche, and Polygon. The company holds a uniquely broad regulatory perimeter — SEC Registered Funding Portal, Broker-Dealer, Transfer Agent, ATS, and Investment Advisor, FINRA MSB, money transmitter licenses in 48 U.S. states, and parallel UK/EU qualifications — which functions as both a barrier to entry and the foundation for cross-jurisdictional deal flow. Scale signals include $2.012B+ capital deployed, $101.5M+ delegated digital assets, 30K+ raises supported, 90+ enterprise clients, 20+ portfolio unicorns, and a 30M+ community footprint, backed by 25+ VC and PE firms including SoftBank, Andreessen Horowitz, Hamilton Lane, Hashed, Y Combinator, and GroundForce Capital.
