The market launched April 9, 2026. Here's what's on the calendar — key events tied to the NBA season, new features, and platform milestones.

Now · April 2026

Apr 9

Market Launch

Live

Buy and sell player shares, build your portfolio, and compete on the live leaderboard.

Spring 2026

May 21

Rookie IPO

Market event

The 2026 NBA Draft class gets their initial share listings before Draft night. Prices are set based on pre-draft projections — buy in early, before the Draft moves the market. Note: these are not the same as the NBA Draft. The IPO lists rookies at their projected value; the Draft itself on June 26 is when actual picks are announced and prices react in real time.

Jun 1

Mini Dividend — 2025–26 Season

Market event

A partial dividend disbursement based on the tail end of the 2025–26 season. Since the market launched in April, this is a shortened payout — a taste of what full-season dividends will look like starting in 2027.

Jun 26

NBA Draft

NBA calendar

Picks are announced and the market reacts. If your guy goes higher than expected and people pile in, his price climbs. If he slides and holders sell off, it shows.

Summer 2026

Jul 21

Summer League IPOs

Market event

Undrafted and two-way players who earn roster spots through Summer League performance get listed on the market.

TBD

Market Alerts & Notifications

Feature

Get notified when a player you own or watch hits a price threshold, makes a move, or gets injury news.

Fall 2026

Oct ~21

2026–27 Season Opens

NBA calendar

New players are added to the market as rosters finalize. Prices continue from where they left off — the market sets prices, not us.

Every Tue

Player of the Week Dividends

Recurring

Every Tuesday during the NBA season, holders of that week's standout player receive a dividend payout. The better the performance, the bigger the payout.

~5th monthly

Player of the Month Dividends

Recurring

Around the 5th of each month during the season, holders of that month's top performer receive a dividend. A larger payout reflecting a full month of dominance.

Spring 2027

Jun 1

Dividend Disbursement — 2026–27 Season

Market event

The first full-season dividend payout. Portfolio holders earn cash based on player performance across the entire 2026–27 NBA season.

All dates are approximate and tied to the NBA calendar. Features marked TBD are planned but not yet scheduled.
