What is Republic?
Republic is the crowdfunding pioneer now selling token-wrapped exposure to SpaceX and OpenAI: Mirror Tokens, launched June 2025, with a $50 minimum and a $5,000 per-investor cap. The structure is legally novel: the issuers are not involved and do not endorse the tokens, holders get no equity, and the tokens are unsecured derivative-like claims on Republic entities sitting in a securities-law gray zone regulators have not fully blessed.
Core Reg CF investing runs $10-$150 typical minimums with a 2.5% investor administrative fee on many offerings ($5 min, $250 cap; some offerings are fee-free); Reg D deals are accredited-only. There is no realized-return dataset. The rOpenAI token closed January 1, 2026, and INX trading is planned after a 1-year hold (Republic agreed to acquire INX's parent in April 2026).
Founded in 2016, Republic acquired Seedrs (UK) in 2021 for international reach, and its menu spans startups, real estate, crypto, and gaming. Core crowdfunding carries standard startup-mortality risk; the token program adds unresolved regulatory risk on top.
