Hive5 is entering a new stage of platform development under the leadership of our new Group CEO, Krisjanis Znotins. His vision for the next phase focuses on strengthening the platform, improving functionality, and developing features that support long-term growth.
One of the first planned developments in this direction is the Hive5 Secondary Market.
As investor portfolios on Hive5 become more diversified, additional tools for managing investments are becoming increasingly relevant. Today, investors can access opportunities across several product lines, including Linqo Lithuania (business loans), Finjet Spain (consumer and business loans), Credilink Romania (business loans), and Firmeo Poland (business loans). With longer-term products also available, such as Firmeo’s 24-month business loan offer, flexibility becomes an important part of the investment experience.
“The Secondary Market will add more flexibility to the investment experience and give investors additional tools to manage their portfolios,” says Krisjanis Znotins, Group CEO of Hive5.
What is the Secondary Market?
The Secondary Market will allow investors to sell eligible investments to other investors before the scheduled maturity date.
For sellers, this may provide an additional option to adjust their portfolio or access funds earlier. For buyers, it may create another way to find investment opportunities that match their preferred return, term, and strategy.
The Secondary Market will complement the primary market, which will remain the main place for funding new loans.
Development timeline
Development is planned to begin at the start of June 2026 and is expected to take approximately three months, with completion planned by September 2026.
During this period, the team will work on the technical setup, investment eligibility rules, user experience, testing, and the operational processes needed to support the feature.
Before the launch, Hive5 will share more details with investors, including how the feature will work, which investments will be eligible, and whether any specific conditions or fees will apply.
Why now?
Hive5 continues to grow as an investment marketplace. In April 2026 alone, €8.54M was funded through the platform, bringing the total funded loan volume since inception to €191.5M. The investor community also continued to grow, reaching 29,535 registered investors.
With a broader investor base and a wider range of investment opportunities, the Secondary Market is a natural next step in Hive5’s product development.
Looking ahead
The Secondary Market marks an important step in Hive5’s next phase of development and reflects our continued focus on improving the investor experience.
As development progresses, Hive5 will continue sharing updates with investors.
Thank you for being part of Hive5.
