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.”
