MPATH Weekly Report and Token Distribution - over 25% APR - 6 June 2021 [MAP Hive FinTech]
Welcome to the MPATH Weekly Report.
This has been another decent week, with token distribution down a fraction, but the vote yield has increased in line with a small rise in the Hive blockchain yield. overall gross yield has increased slightly.
Amid the extreme turbulence of the outside crypto markets, MPATH remains an oasis of calm tranquility - well, relatively!
We have started marking down a few more tokens, but still able to increase our buyback price a notch. The whole economics of MPATH is based around its primary currency, HIVE, so that external influences only really affect us in that they affect the prices of third-party tokens. The incomes have, so far, mitigated any capital losses, but I am assuming that those prices may climb slowly, even when their yields should reflect a higher price. I suspect much capital has fled already during the recent peak.
Here is a graph of the MPATH token price. (Thanks to @gerber for the discord-bot.)
As you can see, it is a rather jagged affair, mainly because the spread remains wide so those spikes are merely the difference between someone buying tokens and someone selling them.
A reminder that this is a market, and not a shop, so although official prices are designed to guide the market, you can sometimes find cheap MPATH tokens. I reiterate that our promise is that we will guarantee official buybaks equal to that week's income. Anything above that will require some waiting for an increase in power-downs.
MPATH still needs to break through that 60-cents ceiling! We have had sales at that price, but the graph illustrates how it remains a "resistance" level of sorts, even though the official sale price is well above that level. Need even more members, really.
And on to my usual closing remarks...
As ever, I give the caveat that individual member returns depend on many things, but these are our baseline figures to see how income changes from week to week. This is also a good time to remind members that such high returns may require adjustments at times so that our Voting Power does not get too low. We have plenty of capacity left, so this is not an issue, as yet, but members with 2000 MPATH tokens are getting votes from about 35k HP, so even if the VP is down to 60% that's still an effective vote from a 21k HP account.
A final reminder that the maximum holding to receive votes is 2000 MPATH, and the maximum to receive reward distributions is 5000 MPATH. You may, of course, own more than this as an investment. We shall increase these if we see the demand to do so, but they are there to attenuate the effects of large accounts and thereby help the smaller accounts. Also worth a reminder that any accounts below 10 MPATH will receive no benefits.

Have a good week!

Note that "Other HIVE" is the sum of all holdings not powered up as HP: liquid HIVE and HBD plus holdings within Hive-Engine. Also note that such values are volatile, especially any holdings priced in US$, so the above numbers are a snapshot and may have changed when you look at the @MPATH account.
The Asset Backed Value (ABV) is our total holdings calculated in HIVE divided by the number of active MPATH tokens.
