Fight Fight Fight LLC — the company behind the $TRUMP memecoin — is in advanced discussions to acquire the U.S. operations of Republic, a prominent crowdfunding platform.
This potential deal, first reported by Bloomberg could bridge memecoins with traditional startup funding, allowing $TRUMP to be used for investments, grants, and platform fees on Republic.
The news has sparked a 40%+ surge in $TRUMP’s price over the past week, pushing its market cap to around $1.6 billion after a 90% drop from its $9 billion peak earlier this year.
Republic has facilitated over 3,000 fundraising campaigns for startups and real-world assets (RWAs), serving both retail and accredited investors. Its backers include Galaxy Digital and Binance Labs, adding credibility to the platform.
If completed, this acquisition would mark a shift for $TRUMP from speculative hype to practical utility in the crypto economy, especially amid a pro-crypto regulatory environment under the Trump administration.
The buyer is Fight Fight Fight LLC issuer of $TRUMP memecoin, launched January 2025. The seller is Republic U.S. operations only; international arm unaffected. Fight Fight Fight and CIC Digital hold ~80% of $TRUMP supply.

Analysts speculate on $TRUMP’s revival, with posts highlighting utility in crowdfunding and RWA plays. Crypto media echoes this, noting it could “transform $TRUMP from hype to functional asset.”
Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization is the process of converting ownership rights in physical or traditional financial assets — such as real estate, bonds, art, commodities, private equity, or invoices — into digital tokens on a blockchain.
These tokens represent fractional or full ownership and can be traded, transferred, or used as collateral in DeFi (decentralized finance) protocols. Core Idea: Bring illiquid, high-barrier assets onto blockchain rails to enable 24/7 trading, fractional ownership, instant settlement, and global access.
