Currently, only 41% of the total Hive supply is powered up. The remaining 224 million Hive are stored liquid. Moreover, 126 million of these Hives are ready for trading at any time on exchanges.
Above mentioned statistics from weekly report by @penguinpablo show that we need to question Hive's current power-up mechanism. As a Hive investor, my opinion is that the 13-week power down term is long. In an environment where there are DEFI investment alternatives that can be entered and exited instantly, it does not seem reasonable to me to ask investors to give up liquidity for 3 months. I think it would be appropriate to reduce this period to 2 or 3 weeks.
There are also other ways to earn returns on Hive. The main one is to convert Hive to HBD and transfer the HBDs we get to the saving account. Thus, investors can invest in the Hive ecosystem by giving up liquidity for only 3 days. On the other hand, in this case, investors cannot benefit from the possible increase in the value of Hive.
It is possible to invest in liquidity pools containing Hive on Beeswap without sacrificing Hive liquidity. However, in these pools, it is necessary to invest in another coin in addition to Hive. Since there are many valuable tokens in the Hive ecosystem, this may not pose a problem for investors. The depth of the pools in Beeswap is not suitable for large investments. Still, these pools make a significant contribution to investor loyalty.
We recently learned that the @leofinance team will migrate Hive to the Polygon network. Investments can be made in pHive on the PolyCub application. Thus, a new investment alternative will emerge for the liquid Hive.
I believe the more a large part of the Hive is invested with regular returns, the more stable the Hive's price will be. On the other hand, the Decentralized Hive Fund (DHF) contributes to Hive's price stability by keeping a large amount of Hive.
Each of the projects developed creates a new reason for investors to hold Hive. I find the PolyCub particularly valuable in this context, which offers DEFI investors the opportunity to invest in Hive and HBD in the format they are used to (with Metamask wallets).
The Hive Bonds Project presented by @taskmaster4450 can help reduce the idle Hive liquidity in the market. The acceptance of Hive as collateral on lending applications can also be considered another financial option to support investor loyalty.
Promoting Hive to new investors and getting them to buy requires huge marketing budgets. Retaining those who have already invested in Hive is a task that can be accomplished with smaller budgets. In this article, I wanted to discuss possible methods for this.
Thank you for reading.
