Republic has announced plan to tokenize equity in Animoca Brands on the Solana blockchain, opening a new way for global investors to gain exposure to the Web3 group. The tokens will be minted on Solana and distributed to investor wallets, with secondary trading handled on Republic’s marketplace, according to the company’s release.
Independent coverage also confirmed news, noting Republic’s push from crowdfunding into regulated digital assets and secondary markets. A third outlet summarized development and said the goal is broader, compliant access to Animoca’s private shares for eligible buyers.
“Tokenizing Animoca Brands’ equity on Solana showcases what Internet Capital Markets make possible — instant, global access to private company ownership,” said Lily Liu, President of the Solana Foundation. She added that high-performance rails let tokenized shares “move with the same speed and efficiency as the internet itself,” according to the announcement.
Tokenization turns rights in assets, such as company shares or real estate, into digital tokens. These tokens can settle faster than paper transfers and can support fractional ownership. Solana is known for low fees and high throughput, which can help secondary trading and integrations with lending or custody tools.
Past context: Republic has been expanding on-chain access to private equities this year, using programmable controls and permissioned trading. Animoca Brands has long backed tokenization and Web3 networks, and has discussed options to widen investor access while markets mature.
