Hedera (HBAR) is gaining traction among institutional investors, despite limited public attention. The blockchain platform, known for its Hashgraph technology, processes over 10,000 transactions per second and maintains a carbon-negative footprint. Governed by a consortium of 39 global companies, including Standard Bank and Hitachi, Hedera is increasingly used for real-world applications such as payments and stablecoins. Recent partnerships with NVIDIA and Accenture are enhancing Hedera's capabilities in artificial intelligence, further broadening its appeal. The launch of an HBAR ETF and its adoption in regions like Saudi Arabia and the Philippines underscore its growing global presence. Investors are closely monitoring how capital gains tax policies might influence future investment flows into Hedera.
