Republic is preparing to reshape how investors access equity in Animoca Brands. By turning Animoca’s shares into tokenized assets on Solana, Republic aims to open new pathways for global investors to gain exposure to one of Web3’s most influential companies.
Good to know
Animoca Brands’ shares are not listed on any public stock exchange, and access has traditionally been limited to over-the-counter secondary markets. Republic’s approach introduces a blockchain-powered solution that lowers barriers, creates more transparency, and broadens participation while staying compliant with regulations.
The equity tokens will be distributed through Republic’s global marketplace. Investors will be able to hold the shares in their wallets and, later on, trade them once the platform rolls out secondary market functionality.
Andrew Durgee, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Republic, called the move a forward-looking shift:
“Our initiative to tokenize Animoca Brands’ equity represents a meaningful development in the convergence of traditional finance with blockchain-based solutions, setting a precedent for how companies can structure their equity for the future. We’re excited to bring this opportunity to market.”
From the Solana Foundation, President Lily Liu highlighted the speed and accessibility this model creates:
“Tokenizing Animoca Brands’ equity on Solana showcases what Internet Capital Markets make possible — instant, global access to private company ownership. Solana’s high-performance infrastructure ensures that tokenized shares can move with the same speed and efficiency as the internet itself. This is a glimpse of the future, where retail investors worldwide can participate in opportunities once reserved for a few, and companies can tap into liquidity and distribution on a global scale.”
Animoca Brands Executive Chairman and Co-Founder Yat Siu added that the partnership fits perfectly with the company’s philosophy:
“We are excited about Republic’s initiative to tokenize the equity of Animoca Brands, a move that resonates with our core belief in democratizing ownership and access. This tokenization aligns strongly with Animoca Brands’ position as a Web3 leader, providing novel options for investors to tokenize and trade their holdings as well as broaden investment accessibility for a wider market.”
Republic has built its reputation as a global investment ecosystem, deploying over US$3 billion across 2,500 companies. Its tools span investment platforms, funds, and advisory arms, with blockchain at the core of its mission to create a fairer financial system.
Earlier initiatives, such as global retail access to Hamilton Lane opportunities and the launch of Mirror Tokens for pre-IPO exposure, demonstrate Republic’s focus on bridging traditional finance with decentralized tools. Tokenizing Animoca Brands represents the latest step in making private markets more inclusive.
