Trump Memecoin Issuer Plans to Acquire Republic’s U.S. Crowdfunding Platform

Fight Fight Fight Eyes Expansion into Crowdfunding

Fight Fight Fight LLC — the company behind the Trump-linked memecoin — is reportedly in talks to buy the U.S. operations of crowdfunding platform Republic, according to a Bloomberg report on Oct. 30 citing people familiar with the matter.

If finalized, the deal would merge a politically tied crypto asset with one of the leading names in startup financing. It could also bring the TRUMP token into a broader role within on-chain capital markets, allowing users to invest in startups using the same token.

Neither Fight Fight Fight LLC nor Republic has commented publicly on the talks.

A Strategic Shift Toward On-Chain Capital

Republic, known for helping startups raise funds from retail and accredited investors, has long been viewed as a bridge between traditional fundraising and blockchain-based finance. By acquiring Republic’s U.S. operations, Fight Fight Fight LLC could embed its TRUMP token into everyday investment flows — from crowdfunding to tokenized equity offerings.

Republic has facilitated more than 3,000 investment rounds, including tokenized offerings representing real-world assets like equity and venture funds. The company supports both accredited and retail investors through its regulated framework.

The platform has attracted investment from notable backers:

• Galaxy Digital, led by Michael Novogratz, which has pushed into tokenized finance.
• YZi Labs, Binance’s venture arm, indicating alignment with the broader Web3 ecosystem.

Republic’s hybrid structure — combining traditional securities with blockchain-based assets — makes it a valuable acquisition target for a crypto-native firm looking to expand its presence in compliant fundraising markets.

For Fight Fight Fight LLC, integrating with Republic would extend beyond its memecoin roots. The company has been working to evolve its digital ecosystem, with efforts to create a $200 million digital-asset treasury aimed at accumulating TRUMP tokens and expanding their use across new applications.

The company, alongside CIC Digital LLC (an affiliate of The Trump Organization), owns around 80% of the TRUMP token supply. Both entities are subject to a three-year vesting schedule and receive revenue from trading activity associated with the token.

Crypto Mergers and a Changing Regulatory Climate

The timing of these talks coincides with renewed activity among U.S.-based crypto fundraising platforms. Just days earlier, Coinbase announced a $375 million acquisition of on-chain capital platform Echo.

Industry observers see both moves as signs of growing confidence among crypto firms under a more permissive regulatory environment in Washington. A Trump administration has generally been viewed as more supportive of digital asset entrepreneurship, potentially spurring U.S. firms to resume building domestically after years of regulatory uncertainty.

How the TRUMP Token Fits In

The Trump memecoin launched in January and quickly drew attention for its political ties and market volatility. Initially valued near $9 billion at its peak, the token has since fallen to around $1.65 billion, according to CoinMarketCap data.

The TRUMP token’s rapid ascent reflected enthusiasm from supporters of the former president, but it also sparked criticism. Opponents raised concerns over conflicts of interest, warning that undisclosed investors could influence markets tied to Trump’s political image.

A potential Republic acquisition could change the token’s role from a speculative asset to a transactional one. If integrated into crowdfunding, TRUMP could be used to:

• Pay platform fees on Republic.
• Contribute to startup fundraising rounds.
• Receive grants or investment rewards denominated in TRUMP.

This would mark a step toward practical adoption within digital fundraising, bridging memecoins and real-world finance.

Legal Challenges Around the Trump Memecoin

Fight Fight Fight LLC has also faced legal scrutiny. A separate Trump family-backed crypto project issued a warning to the company earlier this year over an unauthorized digital product tied to the memecoin.

While no major enforcement action has been reported, the dispute points out the complexities of managing politically branded tokens in a regulated environment.

Despite controversy, Fight Fight Fight LLC continues to host promotional events. A May dinner for TRUMP token holders, attended by Donald Trump himself, was widely seen as a move to bolster community engagement and investor confidence amid falling prices.

Conclusion

The potential acquisition of Republic’s U.S. operations would represent a major expansion for Fight Fight Fight LLC — from a memecoin issuer to a participant in the regulated crowdfunding market.

If the deal is completed, it would:

• Integrate TRUMP token transactions into startup investing.
• Strengthen Republic’s blockchain offerings.
• Advance the broader trend of merging on-chain assets with real-world fundraising.

The talks are still underway, but it’s evident that Fight Fight Fight is evolving from a meme token project into a serious player shaping the next phase of onchain finance.
