Overview

• Republic said it will mint digital tokens that represent Animoca Brands shares and distribute them directly to investor wallets on Solana.
• Trading of the tokenized equity is planned on Republic’s global marketplace within a regulatory-compliant framework.
• The structure is intended to broaden participation by retail and institutional investors who previously relied on illiquid OTC channels for Animoca equity.
• Republic’s Andrew Durgee called the effort a precedent for future equity structures, while Solana Foundation’s Lily Liu emphasized fast, global ownership access.
• Animoca Brands remains privately held with a portfolio of more than 600 Web3 investments, including The Sandbox, Axie Infinity, and OpenSea.
