Market Insider — October 31, 2025 — The company behind the Trump-themed memecoin is plotting a bold expansion beyond internet hype and into the heart of U.S. startup finance.
Fight Fight Fight LLC, creator of the Trump memecoin launched ahead of the former president’s second inauguration, is reportedly in advanced talks to acquire Republic.com’s U.S. operations, according to sources cited by Bloomberg. The move could see the controversial cryptocurrency integrated directly into startup crowdfunding—an unprecedented crossover between political branding, speculative crypto, and venture finance.
If completed, the acquisition would allow Fight Fight Fight to encourage investors to transact and invest using its Trump token while offering crypto startups new fundraising avenues under a more lenient regulatory framework. Both companies have declined to comment, citing ongoing confidential discussions.
Republic.com, one of the most prominent equity crowdfunding platforms in the U.S., has hosted more than 3,000 fundraising campaigns and offers tokenized representations of real-world assets such as equity and cash. The platform’s focus on democratizing investment has drawn attention from major financial players, including BlackRock, which recently increased its exposure to tokenized assets.
A Potential Lifeline for a Faltering Memecoin Sector
The Trump memecoin was one of 2025’s most polarizing digital assets, soaring to nearly $9 billion in market capitalization before crashing along with the broader memecoin market. It now trades at around $1.6 billion, reflecting waning investor appetite for crypto tokens with limited utility.
But Fight Fight Fight has been quietly working to change that narrative. Several e-commerce sites now accept the Trump token for payments, and the company aims to introduce new real-world use cases through the potential Republic acquisition. Insiders say the firm is exploring mechanisms to issue startup grants denominated in Trump tokens and enable investors to back early-stage ventures using the cryptocurrency.
The news follows Trump Media’s October 28 announcement of a partnership with Crypto.com to introduce Truth Predict—a prediction market feature on Truth Social. The integration will let users convert in-app “Truth gems” into Cronos (CRO) tokens to buy prediction contracts, part of a wider collaboration to manage a digital asset treasury.
If the Republic deal materializes, it would mark one of the most audacious attempts yet to merge celebrity-driven crypto culture with mainstream startup investing—potentially redefining both markets in the process.
