Six weeks to go. The GigaStar Secondary Market launch in March 2026 is rapidly approaching, and this week marks a major milestone: trading rules are being finalized. Here is what Investors need to know about how the platform will operate on day one.
Trading Rules: What's Been Finalized
GigaStar Securities LLC has completed the core rulebook for the Alternative Trading System (ATS). These rules govern every aspect of how Channel Revenue Tokens (CRTs) will be traded on the Secondary Market.
Order Types Available at Launch
The platform will support two primary order types:
- Market Orders: Execute immediately at the best available price. These are straightforward—you indicate the number of CRTs you want to buy or sell, and the system matches you at the current market price. Be aware that in a low-liquidity environment, market orders may execute at prices that differ from what you expect.
- Limit Orders: Set a maximum purchase price (for buyers) or a minimum sale price (for sellers). Your order will only execute if the market reaches your specified price. Limit orders give you more control but are not guaranteed to fill.
Trading Hours
The Secondary Market will operate during defined trading windows. Specific hours will be announced closer to launch, but Investors should expect the platform to follow standard U.S. market-day schedules rather than operating around the clock. Orders placed outside trading hours will queue for the next session.
CRT Eligibility
Not all CRTs will be eligible for trading on launch day. The key requirement remains:
- 12-Month Holding Period: Only CRTs purchased at least 12 months prior to a trade are eligible. If you purchased CRTs in April 2025, those positions become eligible in April 2026—not at the March launch.
Investors should review their purchase history on GigaStar Market to determine which positions will be eligible and when.
Important Reminders
The Secondary Market provides a potential avenue for liquidity, but it does not guarantee that you will find a buyer or seller at any given time. Prices will be determined by supply and demand, and may be above or below your original purchase price. CRT investing remains speculative, and all Investors should make decisions based on their own financial situation and risk tolerance.
