Two weeks. The GigaStar Secondary Market soft launch begins soon, and the full public launch follows shortly after. Here is your final preparation checklist and what to expect during the soft launch phase.
Soft Launch Details
Before the full public launch, GigaStar Securities LLC will conduct a soft launch period. During this phase:
- Limited trading: A controlled number of CRT positions will be available for trading to validate the platform under real market conditions
- Eligible participants: Investors who completed their account migration early will have priority access during the soft launch
- Monitoring: The GigaStar Securities LLC compliance and engineering teams will actively monitor all transactions, system performance, and order flow to ensure everything operates as designed
- Feedback collection: Investors participating in the soft launch will be encouraged to share their experience to help improve the platform before full launch
The soft launch is not a beta test—these are real trades with real CRTs and real funds. However, the controlled environment allows the team to identify and address any issues before opening the platform to all migrated Investors.
Your Final Preparation Checklist
With two weeks remaining, make sure you have completed each of these steps:
- Account migration: Have you completed the KYC verification with GigaStar Securities LLC? If not, do this immediately at info@gigastar.io for assistance
- Holdings review: Check which of your CRT positions meet the 12-month holding period requirement
- Understand the fees: Review the transaction fee schedule published on the platform
- Order type familiarity: Understand the difference between market orders and limit orders and when each makes sense
- Set personal parameters: Decide in advance what prices you would consider acceptable for any positions you may want to sell—do not make emotional decisions in the moment
- Read the account agreement: Make sure you have reviewed and understand the GigaStar Securities LLC terms of trading
Setting Realistic Expectations
This section is worth repeating as we approach launch day:
Liquidity is not guaranteed. The Secondary Market creates the potential for buying and selling CRTs, but trades only happen when a buyer and seller agree on a price. In the early days, trading volumes will likely be modest.
Prices may be below your original purchase price. CRT values on the Secondary Market will be determined by supply and demand. Some positions may trade at a discount to the original offering price, and that is a normal feature of any market.
Patience matters. If you place a limit order and it does not fill immediately, that does not mean the platform is broken. It means the market has not yet reached your price. You can adjust your order, wait, or cancel—the choice is yours.
Monthly distributions continue regardless. Whether or not you trade on the Secondary Market, you will continue to receive monthly distributions on all CRTs you hold. The Secondary Market is an additional feature, not a replacement for the core CRT revenue-sharing structure.
