Big announcement: you can now invest in TRADEFUNDED on Republic.
To be clear, this isn't the launch of the trading service. That's still coming. Today we're opening something different: the chance for our community to invest in TRADEFUNDED itself.
From day one, we've built this company around a simple idea: a qualification should mean something.
We're building a Direct-to-Live model, our own proprietary trading technology with Tachyon, and a business we believe should succeed by developing successful traders, not by keeping them stuck in an endless cycle of simulated accounts, resets and fees.
We also chose to do something we haven't seen a retail prop firm do: let the people who trade with us own a piece of the firm. This community showed up before we'd sold a single exam, so we wanted you at the table as owners, not just customers.
We've got a lot more to show you in the coming weeks as we get closer to the TRADEFUNDED launch. Thank you to everyone who's been here early. Getting this ready took a lot of work, and it's a big milestone for us.

🚨☣️BREAKING: Plague outbreak expands, Russia BSL-3 lab accident - FIVE hospitals now quarantined🚨☣️
The plague outbreak in Siberia, Russia has expanded w/5 hospitals now under QUARANTINE: Irkutsk Hospitals No. 1, No.3, No.10, Ivano-Matreninskaya Children's Hospital, and an unnamed maternity hospital (Lyudi Baikala news, Moscow Times).
Quarantine is NOT voluntary. Even in the U.S., quarantine is among the most extraordinary measures gov't can impose on American citizens who haven't been convicted, or even accused, of committing a crime. Quarantine means being forcibly confined and medically examined by law. U.S. quarantine can be imposed on anyone infected by a legally quarantinable disease listed below (this can change). One should assume Russia's quarantine protocols are even more severe. As of 2026, under Executive Order 14047, legally quarantinable diseases in the U.S. are:
■ Plague
■ Smallpox
■ Viral hemorrhagic fevers
■ Cholera
■ Diphtheria
■ Yellow fever
■ Infectious tuberculosis
■ Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)
■ Flu that can cause a pandemic
■ Measles

Seeing "Risk interview" required for a payout is crazy. You made money, and they called it suspicious. Now show us how you got those horizontal lines on your chart, or else!
