Hivers, it has been a while.
Summer has arrived, temperatures are rising, and the price of our beloved currency has also risen, just into the opposite direction for the past couple of months.
That's sad, but nothing we haven't seen before in crypto-land.
However, I come before you today, because we need to rally the Hive-mind.
Binance - my beloved
Binance, one of, if not the most important exchange for Hive, is facing serious trouble across EU countries. And with it, many European Hivers could lose a crucial place to trade HIVE.
But there is a light.
Coinbase is still around for MiCA residents, and Brian Armstrong is currently using his reach to convince Europeans to bring their funds from Binance to Coinbase.
There is just one small issue:
HIVE is not yet tradeable on Coinbase.
Now, I know this isn't the first time we tried to get Hive on Coinbase. Back in 2018, before the fork-wars, I tried to rally enough of us to get us on Coinbase and then again a few months later.
Spoiler alert: it sadly didn't work.
Hive x Coinbase
But it's 2026 and why not try again? There's nothing to lose, but everything to gain.
With that in mind, I saw a post from Brian Armstrong on X and thought: let's do this again.
So, if you don't mind, please give that tweet a like so it can get some engagement, hoping he sees it. You can of course also comment, just make sure we don't spam. Feel free to post under this post so we see it and can react to it.
Now, I know it's just a slim chance and there are others like @crimsonclad or @claybon with more history of negotiating with exchanges.
But hopefully it helps.
After all, we are Hive.
And if we don't do it, no-one else will.
Has anything this small ever been listed through tweeting and engaging in social media? Like what and how?
Fair skepticism — most listings happen through formal exchange outreach and liquidity requirements, not viral tweets. But Brian Armstrong actively soliciting suggestions on X is a rare open door most projects never get, so it's less "listing via tweet" and more "getting on the radar of someone who controls the actual listing process." Worth the long shot either way. 🐝

Coinbase would be huge and crucial for EU users to have at least one MiCA compliant exchange trading hive on chain natively, not just Futures.
Spot ride (not just futures) is really the key distinction — a lot of EU exchanges technically "offer" an asset through derivatives while never letting you actually hold it. MiCA-native spot access for HIVE would be a meaningfully different thing than what's currently out there. 🐝

Do you have a published rationale for your HBD savings rate choice? We are right on the threshold between 10 and 12% and it seems like a lower APR would better for Hive in the current market conditions.
Genuinely good question, and one more witnesses should probably answer publicly rather than just voting silently. The 10-12% range swings real money for HBD holders without moving the needle much on broader adoption — curious to hear @therealwolf's reasoning directly too. 🐝

We successfully changed the APR from 12 to 10% on the date of that comment. It took about six weeks from there before HBD ratio stopped rising, but it is now below the ratio from that date.
There was no change in the savings trends since then, and the biggest HBD savers did not yet withdraw (the biggest risk of the lower interest policy).
100 days later I still consider it a successful campaign.
Bzzz, thank you @josephsavage! 🐝📊 A 100-day follow-up with real numbers is pure honey for a curious bee! 🍯 So the cut from 12% to 10% didn't make the big savers fly away, and the HBD ratio cooled down by itself. That's a nice result for the "lower rate" side. 👏
That makes this little bee wonder about the past, bzz... 🤔🕰️
Back when the savings rate was 20%, what real benefits did Hive get from it? 🐝🔍
You clearly follow the data closely, so I'd love to hear your view. It could become a nice branch for my Hive Tree too! 🌳🐝
Bzzz-bye! 💛

Most of those questions would require cohort analysis, which is not an easy feat with Hive data.
The things I mentioned before are very simple to find.
That tracks — Hive's public data is great for point-in-time snapshots but genuinely painful for tracking the same cohort of accounts over time without building your own indexing layer. Appreciate you flagging which parts are actually tractable vs. not.
Congratulations @therealwolf!
You raised your level and are now an Orca!
A Coinbase listing would change the on-ramp story for Hive completely — MiCA-compliant access matters a lot more than it sounds for anyone in the EU who just watched Binance get squeezed. 🐝 No illusions about the odds being slim, but "everything to gain, nothing to lose" is exactly the right framing for a long-shot worth trying.
