Derivative markets are best for assets like oil that can not be sold right away. Which is similar to Hive in that the coins are locked up for a long time.
I have wrote an email to try and get Hive put on bitmex as it is the biggest derivative market. If others do the same there is a chance they will listen.
This would allow you to sell some coins without have to power down, which may have a downward pressure on the price in the short term but in the long term it would be healthier for the space over all.

My favorite site for trading is Bitmex, as the future contracts allow for lots of arbitrage opportunities and the leverage lets me leave most of my stash safe in cold storage. If you don't already use it and would like to sign up, here is a referral link that will get you 10% off fees and rewards me with 10% of the fees you pay, we both win.
Similarly my favorite site for trading options is Deribit, Here is a referral link for that.
A few of the exchange sites I also use are binance, bittrex and hitbtc, I find them about as good as the other exchanges to be honest but these have referral links so I figure I'd shill for them.
