Yesterday, we wrapped our GigaStar Trading launch celebration, and our Community showed up with excellent questions. For everyone who couldn't make it to our webinar, here's what I told them.When can I actually trade my position? Once a Creator's offering (from GigaStar Market) clears its 12-month hold, those positions can move on GigaStar Trading, our SEC-registered secondary market. ~1,000 Investors are already onboarding to trade, and every primary market offering that clears its hold adds more liquidity to the market. 📈By the way, you can open your GigaStar Trading account here. Or, if you’re waiting for account approval, need help with KYC, or need to take additional action, please email Support at support@gigastartrading.io. Our team responds to each request.What stops someone from copying this? Four things, really. The license took years to earn, and there's no shortcut for it; We’re one of only 10 regulatory approvals for digital asset securities in the U.S., now live in all 50 states. The market is already running, Creators are raising, and Investors are getting paid every month. Smart contracts handle every revenue split automatically. And every Creator brings their own audience onto the platform, so those fans become Investors, and Investors become advocates for the next Creator. That flywheel took three years to build. 🔒How does GigaStar actually make money? GigaStar earns the way an exchange does. A fee on every raise, a share of the Creator's monthly YouTube revenue, an admin fee on monthly Investor payouts, and a fee on every trade in GigaStar Trading. Growth on the platform grows the business.💰What about the financials? We put $3.9M into earning our licenses and building out our ecosystem with GigaStar Trading, instead of chasing growth. That build is done. The primary market has moved $7M+ to Creators and $1.4M+ to Investors, and YouTube revenue processed for Investors is up 364% year over year to a $3.6M run rate. And 30,000+ Investor accounts and counting. The secondary market we spent three years building is now open and ready to scale! 📊What's next for GigaStar? A Creator Growth Fund to bring institutional capital onto the platform and attract larger creators, more offerings clearing their hold, and more users to add liquidity to GigaStar Trading, and the same model extending beyond YouTube to platforms like Substack, Twitch, and Instagram. 🚀Our Announcement:Thank you to everyone who joined and asked such good questions. We just opened this Early Bird round exclusively to our Community before it goes to anyone else, and on the best terms it will ever be offered. This will likely be the last opportunity for individuals to invest in GigaStar. Once these Early Bird terms are gone, they're gone, and pricing reverts to standard for the rest of the round.🔑Invest or Increase Your InvestmentJoin our journey → wefunder.com/gigastarHere's to building the Creator Economy's capital markets, together.Hazem Dawani Co-Founder & CEO, GigaStar
