Republic and Sui Bring Private Investing Onchain with Sui LaunchPad
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, December 3rd, 2024, Chainwire
DeLorean Labs to become first token issuer on Sui Launchpad
Republic, an investment platform for private market assets, in partnership with Sui Foundation, the organization dedicated to the advancement and adoption of the flourishing Sui ecosystem, today announced Sui LaunchPad, powered by Republic. The organizations are joined in this collaboration by DeLorean Labs, the web3 arm of the DeLorean Motor Company ecosystem, which will become the first to utilize this offering as the initial token issuer on Sui LaunchPad.
The Republic Launchpad is a global investment platform enabling crypto projects to bring innovative utility tokens to market while ensuring compliance for web3 communities across retail, accredited, and institutional investors. As of today, Republic’s LaunchPad will be available to developers and organizations looking to launch a token sale on Sui in the form of Sui LaunchPad. Sui will be the first non-EVM chain the Republic Wallet integrates with its Launchpad product. Sui LaunchPad will facilitate token sales, investor access, and token distribution through an integrated ecosystem combining regulatory compliance and investor tools.
“We’re excited for Republic’s infrastructure to support the Sui ecosystem in bringing tokens to market to its loyal community of builders, developers, and fans –– before those tokens are accessible on exchanges,” said Matt Melbourne, Head of GTM at Republic. “Sui’s commitment to building scalability and speed lends itself to small transaction, high-volume events like token sales, making the Layer 1 a great match for our infrastructure.”
DeLorean Labs, the web3 arm of the DeLorean Motor Company ecosystem and an active Sui ecosystem member, is a natural fit as the first issuer on Sui Launchpad as a real-world adopter of web3 technology. DeLorean is set to be established as “the car of crypto”. As the first car company with a native token, $DMC is the currency of cultural convergence, pioneering the intersection of web3 innovation and true utility. The community sale follows the sold-out mint of DeLorean’s Time Capsule digital collectible series, which allowed users to mint a series of 8800 digital collectibles for the chance to win a wide variety of prizes, including a 2026 DeLorean EV.
“While not every DeLorean fan is going to be able to buy a DeLorean EV,” said Evan Kuhn, President of DeLorean Labs, “we want every DeLorean fan to have the opportunity to benefit from the upside of the rebirth of the DeLorean brand. As the first issuer on Sui LaunchPad, we are elated to be able to explore yet another way to create value for DeLorean fans.”
“Thanks to Sui LaunchPad, builders on Sui will benefit massively from access to Republic’s investor base and global visibility,” said Jameel Khalfan, Head of Ecosystem Development at Sui Foundation. “From developers new to the ecosystem to builders currently hard at work on Sui, this integration will encourage wider participation in tokenized projects.”
