Fight Fight Fight, the company behind the President Donald Trump-linked memecoin, is reportedly in discussions to acquire the US operations of investment platform Republic.com.
If finalized, the deal could open the door for Republic users to transact using the Official Trump (<a href="/maga-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TRUMP</a>) memecoin, while giving crypto startups a new avenue to raise capital, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-29/trump-memecoin-issuer-in-talks-to-buy-crowdfunding-business" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported</a> on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
One source told the outlet that the discussions remain private but involve multiple potential partners. Fight Fight Fight and CIC Digital, an affiliate of The Trump Organization, collectively own 80% of the Trump memecoin.
Republic, which has facilitated more than 3,000 fundraising campaigns, serves both retail and accredited investors. Its backers include Galaxy Digital and the venture arm of Binance, per Bloomberg. The company has also embraced <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/web-3-investor-animoca-brands-equity-to-be-tokenized-on-solana-in-rwa-deal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">blockchain-based tokenization</a> of real-world assets.
