Now Coinbase is becoming Robinhood.

As these two companies merge into very similar products, would it not make sense to combine forces??

This will go down in crowdfunding history as the ‘buying a pizza for 200 bitcoin’

Someone is actually selling 5,000 shares of StartEngine for $50.

This would value StartEngine at just over $11M (StartEngine is on track to do $160M in revenue and just raked in $3.2M in Q2 profit

What I would add to this is that Robinhood/Republic will will likely damage their reputation with each startup they tokenize.

No startup wants to have their equity traded in pseudo-markets where it's entirely out of their control - if Republic or Robinhood screw over token holders, the startup will bear some portion of the backlash

Tokenization takes demand out of the system when it could instead go to the startup directly - and it carries extreme risk to the startup brand since they can't manage it

In return the startup gets....nothing

I can't imagine a single startup that will appreciate tokenization

Boxabl's 160+ workers are currently losing to 3 machines

With just three 3D printing machines, Azure generated $5.1M in revenue in 2024, surpassing Boxabl’s $3.4M — all while operating with far fewer employees and a smaller footprint.

To keep up with demand, they’re building a second factory in Denver, expected to go live in January 2026. And they’re not funding it the traditional way.
