🎥 At @Hedera's HederaCon, @Hashgraph CEO @episcini says it’s the “end of the war of the chains” because Hashgraph's CLPR enables any chain to communicate with any other in real time, without bridges.
The real magic of Hedera isn’t just the technology. It’s the values behind it. Speed, security, fairness & sustainability. These principles don’t just guide the network, they shape the entire community building on it.
At HederaCon 2025, @leemonbaird shared what that “magic” really means in practice.
Clarity matters. Appreciate @SECGov providing meaningful guidance on digital assets.
Hedera (HBAR) being recognized as a digital commodity is an encouraging step forward, supporting innovation for the future digital economy.
What does success look like for Hedera?
“Invisible ubiquity.”
Hedera will be the trust layer of the digital economy, powering industries everywhere, while remaining largely unseen by the people using it.
Hedera Co-Founder @ManceHarmon shared this vision with @CNBC's Emma Crosby.
While you were chasing your next 100x, two US Air Force veterans built the only L1 that Google, IBM, and Dell actually run nodes for.
$HBAR just became the 3rd crypto EVER to get a US spot ETF.
It's on McLaren F1 cars. NVIDIA uses it for government AI. And 99% of crypto has no idea it exists.
Hedera runs on Hashgraph—not a traditional blockchain.
It's governed by 39 corporations worth $3T+ who don't just "partner"—they literally own and operate the network as part of Hedera LLC.
While projects chased hype cycles since 2018, HBAR went into production with Fortune 500s and governments. Real-world assets. Enterprise AI with Intel. Institutional DeFi that's actually compliant.
The tell: 12 more ETF filings reference $HBAR. Now on Vanguard ($11T AUM).
Hedera never needed your "mindshare." But when institutions bet this big, they probably deserve it.
Full disclosure: I hold $HBAR. DYOR.
🇺🇸 UPDATE: The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act would treat $XRP, $SOL, $LTC, $HBAR, $DOGE, and $LINK the same as $BTC and $ETH.
This applies if they back exchange-traded products as of Jan. 1, 2026, per Eleanor Terrett.
With Canary's HBAR ETF launch, let's look at some of the utility and adoption going on with Hedera:
HBAR powers three critical functions that create constant demand. Every transaction costs HBAR, nodes stake it for security, and the Hedera Council uses it for governance.
Transaction fees stay around $0.0008 each, but scale changes everything. Supply chain tracking for billions in goods or tokenized assets trading millions.
‣ Google joined the Hedera Council early and runs nodes. They weave Hedera into cloud-based distributed ledger tech for AI and analytics. Billions in cloud spending flows through these tools. Google stakes thousands of HBAR to secure council nodes. Their involvement pulls in developers who need compliant DLT without building from scratch. Each service costs 100 HBAR upfront plus stakes of 1,000 to 3,000.
‣ IBM uses Hedera for enterprise pilots. Their DICE framework processes confidential transactions for partners. Food traceability or pharmaceutical supply chains move billions in value, with each update costing HBAR. IBM stakes six figures in HBAR per major project. They push governance votes for interoperability standards, making sure Hedera fits with legacy systems.
‣ Archax launched tokenized money market funds from BlackRock and Fidelity on Hedera. These UCITS-compliant assets let institutions trade liquidity on-chain, starting with millions and scaling toward hundreds of millions.
‣ Lloyds Bank partnered with Aberdeen on a tokenized bond for foreign exchange settlements using Hedera. This handles cross-border flows, cutting days to minutes for millions in trades. Each settlement pays HBAR fees.
‣ Tokeny and the HBAR Foundation launched compliant tokenization for real-world assets. They target bonds and funds, connecting firms like Janus Henderson to on-chain markets. Over $500 million in tokenized assets live.
‣ Lenders stake 10,000 to 30,000 HBAR per pool. Real-world assets could unlock trillions in illiquid markets, and Hedera's speed positions it for that flow. Tokeny focuses on property ownership with smart contracts automating mortgages
‣ At the RAISE Summit in July 2025, Hedera announced a partnership with NVIDIA, Accenture, and SCAN UK. They picked Hedera as the ledger for Verifiable Compute... an AI solution for defense, healthcare, and public administration. This ties Hedera's consensus to NVIDIA's Blackwell chips for secure AI workflows. Enterprises stake thousands of HBAR per deployment.
‣ Circle added USDC stablecoin to Hedera with over $200 million in total value locked. Pools stake 15,000 or more HBAR for liquidity.
‣ Copper partnered with the HBAR Foundation for custody and trading. They handle HBAR staking and over-the-counter trades, bridging banks to the network.
Track real-world asset expansion closely. Platforms like Archax could pull in billions more over the next year. With that, staking from IBM and Google suggests firms could lock more HBAR soon. This squeezes supply and shows real faith in the long game. Commitments like these is what can move markets.
HBAR's value links directly to Hedera's expansion & each step makes HBAR the connective tissue between legacy systems and distributed ledger technology.
Big milestone for @solana and @hedera as SEC approves spot crypto ETFs for two leading layer-1 blockchains, opening the door for regulated access to two of the most active, efficient and enterprise-grade networks in the space. Institutional infrastructure meets compliant innovation. #SOL #HBAR #ETF #DigitalAssets
Coinbase is listing two new local stablecoins:
🇦🇺 AUDD
🇸🇬 XSGD
Local stablecoins will drive local crypto business growth and help to onboard many more new people to crypto.
We’re aware of the news around the npm packages that have been compromised by malware.
Our team promptly conducted an internal audit on our codebase and it does not appear that we are affected by this supply chain attack.
Hedera as a whole doesn’t seem to have been targeted, but we will keep a close eye on the situation.
Thank you to our users who have expressed concern in our discord and DM’s.
