Republic Technologies Announces OTCQB Listing and DTC Eligibility

VANCOUVER, British Columbia---Republic Technologies Inc. (CSE: DOCT) (FSE: 7FM0) (WKN: A41AYF) (OTCQB: DOCKF) (“Republic” or the “Company”), a publicly traded technology company, is pleased to announce that its common shares will begin trading on the OTCQB Venture Market (the “OTCQB”) in the United States under the ticker symbol DOCKF on Thursday, December 4, 2025. The Company’s common shares are now also fully eligible for electronic clearing and settlement through the Depository Trust Company (DTC). The Company’s common shares continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol DOCT.

“Listing on the OTCQB with DTC Eligibility elevates our presence in the world’s largest capital market,” said Daniel Liu, CEO of Republic Technologies.

The OTCQB listing represents a meaningful step forward in the Company’s long-term capital markets strategy, increasing visibility and participation among U.S. investors.

Expanding Access to U.S. Investors

Trading on the OTCQB enhances Republic’s reach to a broader pool of U.S. retail and institutional investors. The Company’s OTCQB listing is expected to support greater trading convenience and open the door to future capital-market initiatives in the United States.

“Listing on the OTCQB with DTC Eligibility elevates our presence in the world’s largest capital market,” said Daniel Liu, CEO of Republic Technologies. “This milestone strengthens our ability to connect with the international investment community and broaden our shareholder base.”

Corporate Model

Republic’s corporate model integrates treasury operations with blockchain infrastructure. The Company acquires and locks its ETH holdings into validator infrastructure to generate attestations, which are cryptographic signatures that confirm the validity of data moving through the blockchain. Each node requires 32 ETH to be activated, and thus ETH holdings grow proportionally with infrastructure deployment.

This model is enabled by Ethereum’s 2022 Proof-of-Stake (PoS) upgrade, which fundamentally changed how the Ethereum blockchain operates compared to its legacy Proof-of-Work (PoW) model. Previously under the PoW model, participants had to rely on costly, energy-intensive mining hardware. With the PoS model, however, Ethereum’s security and operations are tied directly to deployed ETH and software systems, making the infrastructure both more efficient and environmentally sustainable.

The Company believes this approach creates significant strategic advantages. By avoiding dependence on heavy equipment and physical facilities, the business can operate in an asset-light manner, minimizing overhead and reducing operational risks. This allows resources to be directed toward innovation and growth rather than being tied up in costly physical infrastructure. Another key strength lies in liquidity and resilience. ETH is a liquid asset with potential for value appreciation, giving the Company the flexibility to navigate market downturns or volatility more effectively than businesses constrained by illiquid physical assets.

Taken together, the Company’s business model represents a modern, software-driven alternative to traditional capital-intensive infrastructure. This positions the Company to remain nimble and efficient, with the potential to capture the long-term value of Ethereum’s evolving technology.

Strategic Positioning Amid Market Volatility

Republic continues to operate from a position of strength despite broader market conditions. By combining an ETH-backed treasury, validator infrastructure operations, and attestation services, the Company aims to build a triple-engine growth model designed to generate diversified revenue streams while maintaining risk-disciplined exposure to the broader technological ecosystem.
