Live from Benzinga Awards Ceremony: A FIRST LOOK AT THE HIVE TERMINAL!
Hive Project has taken yet another momentous step towards global recognition as a future fintech leader at the Benzinga Global Fintech Award Ceremony here in New York, with our very own CFO Ugur Yildirim having just presented Hive Project on the grandest of fintech stages.
Winning the social vote for “Best Use of Blockchain” and the social vote in the overall category means a lot to us. Getting this level of recognition from those who will actually use our platform is, ultimately, all that matters — and we could not have dreamt of a more overwhelming response. Those who have been with us since the very start understand that we have been building towards reaching a tipping point of awareness, and we are well on the way towards a deafening crescendo when our platform launches. Our success here in New York is just the latest indicator of this trend and has given us the visibility and credibility we deserve, but we also wanted to seize upon this rare opportunity to make a very special announcement. The progress to be revealed today is just the latest in a series of giant leaps towards creating a unique blockchain-based marketplace where we can unify data, run dynamic risk analyses, confirm the authenticity of every invoice issued, suggest a price for each invoice and bridge the gap between small businesses and liquidity providers.
Live from Benzinga Award Ceremony in New York
Since attracting over 2,200 backers and being proclaimed the best blockchain-based crowd sale of 2017 at CoinAgenda in Barcelona, we have consistently delivered the very best the fintech world has to offer. And I am delighted that all our backers, our community and our amazing team, who are split between Ljubljana, Sofia and Toronto, can all share in this special moment. The Benzinga Awards showcase the companies that are pioneering the most impressive technologies and setting the benchmark for the future of financial services and capital markets, and so we are blessed to be here. But make no mistake — our presence among such exalted company is well deserved and backed up with strong fundamentals. This recognition is long overdue but we all knew it was inevitable.
We have our incredible future platform users to thank for helping us win these accolades, and we wanted to take this opportunity to reveal more of the progress we have made instead of simply recapping our meteoric advancements. Today is all about the future, and so it makes sense for us to show what our future looks like.
It therefore gives us great pleasure to announce the launch of the HIVE TERMINAL landing page (http://hiveterminal.com), which we are confident will become the first port of call not only for small businesses looking for funds, but also for liquidity providers searching for good returns. Under the guidance of our co-founder and CTO, Dejan Jovanovic, our developers are working day and night to get the platform operational by the end of this quarter.
Presenting HIVE TERMINAL
To quote our CFO, Ugur Yildirim, on stage at the Benzinga Global Fintech Awards Ceremony: “The Hive Terminal is a Bloomberg-like solution that will connect small businesses with investors on our terminal, helping them get the liquidity they need.”
The Hive Terminal is a blockchain-based ecosystem which has been designed, on the one hand, to solve the liquidity problems faced by small businesses and, on the other, to provide urgently needed and reliable data to liquidity providers.
Our unique blockchain-based marketplace will soon be going live, and the benefits yielded by blockchain on the invoice financing process, as well as other financial instruments, will prove to be epoch defining. By harnessing the incredible power of this revolutionary technology, we are able to give every issued invoice a unique fingerprint, which allows them to be traded, thereby rapidly increasing the liquidity available to small businesses around the world.
As well as ensuring maximum speed to market, our ERP integration strategy also means we have sufficient control points over payment histories, past transactions between all parties involved, stock numbers and several other features to ensure that our invoice pricing algorithm is precise and reliable.
Future of Hive Project is bright & global
And so there you have it. Yet another piece has been added to the puzzle, building on what we already have in place — an interactive DEMO of how the Hive Terminal will work and amazing business deals to back up our rapid technological progress. With our developers working around the clock to deliver, my focus is already on scaling up the product to the rest of the world.
And having seen what our team and community can produce when the stakes are high and the heat is on, I have complete confidence in their abilities. We believe that Benzinga represents the beginning of a general awakening and we are relying on our positive community to give all newcomers the warm welcome we are now famous for.
