Republic to Offer Tokenized Access to SpaceX and OpenAI

Investment service Republic intends to launch an innovative scheme: tokenization of shares of such giants as SpaceX and OpenAI. According to the Wall Street Journal, the company is already working on acquiring SpaceX shares in order to create digital assets supported by blockchain technology on their basis.
In addition to SpaceX, Republic also plans to issue tokens that will repeat the dynamics of OpenAI and Anthropic shares. However, users who buy such tokens will not become shareholders directly and will not receive voting rights or participate in the management of these private companies. Instead, they will be able to invest in previously inaccessible market segments through blockchain tools.
Republic management emphasizes that the entire process will comply with the provisions of the Startup Support Act, adopted in the United States in 2012. This regulation allows companies to raise funds from non-qualified investors — up to five million dollars annually — by issuing securities that were previously only available to large venture funds or institutional players.
Investing in new tokenized assets will be possible starting from just $50, which significantly simplifies entry for private traders. The upper investment threshold is limited to five thousand dollars, which is much more democratic compared to the traditional minimum of tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars that are usually required to buy shares of private companies.
Thus, Republic aims to expand the circle of participants in the venture market by making investments in large private firms more accessible. The new approach is designed to attract retail investors who previously did not have the opportunity to directly participate in the capital of such promising companies as SpaceX and OpenAI.
Blockchain technology will allow tracking the movement of these assets transparently and securely. At the same time, it is important to understand that by purchasing tokens, investors take on the risks associated with the instability of the crypto market and high volatility. Despite this, many believe that such a model could be an important step towards the democratization of venture capital.
The launch of new digital tools from Republic is expected to attract interest from a wide audience. This product may be especially attractive to those who want to diversify their portfolio and try their hand at investing in fast-growing technology companies without large investments.
In this way, Republic can set a new trend in the world of private investment, opening the way for those who previously did not have access to closed joint-stock companies.
