Secondary Market launch update
Development of the Hive5 Secondary Market continued throughout August.
During testing, we identified several technical issues that need to be resolved before the Secondary Market can be launched. We are completing the necessary development and testing to ensure the feature works reliably.
As a result, the launch is now planned for the end of September 2026. Our development team is actively working on the remaining improvements, and we aim to release the functionality as soon as the required testing has been successfully completed.
Before the public launch, a group of VIP investors will be invited to test the Secondary Market and share their feedback. This will help us validate the user experience and make any final refinements before the functionality becomes available more widely.
Once launched, the Secondary Market will allow investors to sell eligible investments to other investors before their scheduled maturity date, providing greater flexibility when managing their portfolios.
We appreciate your patience and will share further information as we move closer to the release.
Hive5 Loyalty Programme expansion
At the beginning of September, we announced the expansion of the Hive5 Loyalty Programme, including two new levels and updated portfolio thresholds.
From 5 October 2026, the programme will expand from three to five levels. The two new levels will provide additional bonuses for investors with larger active portfolios:
- Premier: €50,000–€100,000 — additional +1.25%
- Elite: €100,000+ — additional +1.50%
The Pioneer threshold will also change to €25,000. Investors who hold Pioneer status on 5 October 2026 and have an active portfolio between €20,000 and €25,000 will retain their current +1.00% bonus until 4 April 2027.
The Loyalty Programme will continue to apply automatically, with no separate application required.

Looking ahead
As we move through September, our priorities remain focused on completing the Secondary Market, maintaining platform reliability and preparing for the updated Loyalty Programme.
We continue working toward a more flexible and rewarding investment experience for the Hive5 community.
Thank you for being part of Hive5.
