We’re thrilled to share some exciting news and celebrate a significant milestone for the Republic Europe Secondary Market. Remember our announcement in May about the market opening 24/7? We’re ecstatic to report that this transformation has been a resounding success, leading to unprecedented activity and liquidity for our investors!
Building on Your Feedback: A Market That Never Sleeps
Our core mission is to empower our investment community with flexibility and transparency. That’s why we listened to your feedback and made the pivotal decision to make the Republic Europe Secondary Market Bulletin Board available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. No more waiting for market openings – sellers can respond to requests and buyers can express interest anytime, anywhere.
This continuous operation comes with a host of key improvements:
- Instant Activation for Eligible Listings: Get your sell requests active immediately for eligible businesses.
- Clearer Labels: Easily identify “Shareholder-Only Trading” and “All-Investor Access” opportunities.
- Extended Listing Period: Sell requests now remain active for 90 days.
- Streamlined Commitment to Sell: A 3-day window to accept or cancel matched sell requests, ensuring serious intent.
- Enhanced Transaction Tracking: View activity from the last 30 days directly on the platform.
May Highlights: The Power of 24/7 Trading in Action
The impact of these changes, particularly the 24/7 accessibility, has been immediate and incredibly positive. In May alone, we witnessed:
- £1m Transacted – A testament to the increased liquidity and trading opportunities.
- 1.4k Transactions – Demonstrating robust activity across a wide range of businesses.
- £24.4k Largest single transaction – Highlighting significant individual transactions.
We’re particularly excited to see the continued popularity of businesses like Plum, Currensea, Heights, The Cheeky Panda, and savvy navvy, which topped our charts in May. Other notable businesses thriving on the market include Paysend in Finance & Payments, Different Dog and Love Cocoa in Food & Beverage, and AFC Wimbledon and Much Better Adventures in Travel, Leisure & Sport. We’ve also seen new and returning businesses like Learn Amp, PETIT PLI, and NICE generate interest.
What’s Next?
Our commitment to innovation doesn’t stop here. We’re evolving our communications to provide monthly round-ups with valuable insights, market trends, and trading highlights. Soon, you’ll also be able to set personalised alerts for specific businesses, ensuring you never miss an opportunity. And for those on the go, the new 24/7 Secondary Market is fully accessible through the Republic Europe mobile app!
Thank you for being an integral part of our thriving investment community. We believe these enhancements, combined with the incredible results we’ve seen, mark a new era of accessibility and opportunity on the Republic Europe Secondary Market.
