🏡 Introducing Republic Local

The latest from Republic Hi {NAME}, We’re proud to announce the launch of Republic Local, our initiative to bring small business investment opportunities to Republic investors. Let’s talk about why we believe this matters so much. [Republic Local]( is a continuation of Republic’s mission to empower everyday investors to build the future they believe in, by investing directly in businesses that are the backbone of local communities. Investors can make a direct impact on the economic growth of cities large and small across the nation. Republic Local will give investors greater access to investment deals that are structured to pay out faster than most equity-based deals. With the advent of more debt offerings that focus on local businesses, including [revenue sharing]( and [term notes]( investors will have more flexibility with their portfolio and a greater ability to diversify.

[Crypto.com]( struck a 20 year deal to re-name the Staples Center in Los Angeles, which will now be called the [Crypto.com]( arena. Crypto exchange FTX bought the naming rights to the Miami Heat’s stadium. According to Robinhood, sports fans are twice as likely as non-sports fans to be familiar with crypto. Crypto groups combining with sports can be a great way to get crypto in front of more eyes and get more people connected to this world. --------------------------------------------------------------- Updates from Issuers [PittMoss]( “We opened a NEW market in Oregon. We welcome Concentrates, Inc. of Milwaukie and Oregon Coast Cannabis of Manzanita.” [Sugarfina]( “We announced the launch of Corporate CandyDrop, an instant and easy way for companies to gift employees sweets of their choice.” [Thimble]( “We won 2 more school district contracts in Irving and Spring, Texas.
