]]> Crypto commentator Levi Rietveld recently warned XRP and HBAR holders, highlighting the urgency of the CLARITY Act as it nears potential Senate action.

He noted that while delays have persisted, recent remarks from Cynthia Lummis provide a clearer picture of timing. Understanding both the legislative schedule and the influence of banks is essential for investors and institutions.

Lummis Provides Timing for Senate Action

During a Fox interview, Lummis outlined the near-term schedule for the bill. She said the markup could occur “either right before the Easter break or right after” and expressed hope for a completed product from the Senate Banking Committee “before the end of April.” This timeline lines up with initial predictions by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse.

Lummis noted the process is influenced by other priorities, including funding considerations tied to the SAVE Act. She then stressed the need for colleagues to finalize their contributions.

Ongoing Frustration and a Big Opportunity

Reacting to Lummis’ comments, Rietveld noted the pattern of repeated messaging from lawmakers. He explained that senators have consistently indicated they are “right at the finish line,” but delays continue due to institutional pressures. He expressed frustration with Banks’ influence on legislative details, arguing that banks can benefit just as much as crypto exchanges.

Rietveld sees this period as a pivotal moment for market participants. He stressed that the CLARITY Act could remove long-standing regulatory uncertainty, creating conditions favorable to digital assets like XRP and HBAR. Although the bill is not perfect, it could significantly improve how these assets operate within U.S. financial systems.

Impact on XRP and HBAR

XRP stands to benefit from a clear legal classification. With legal certainty, financial institutions can integrate XRP into payment and liquidity networks without hesitation. XRP’s use in cross-border transactions will also become more straightforward. These structural changes could support broader adoption and institutional participation.

HBAR also gains from the CLARITY Act’s clarified framework. Hedera’s enterprise-focused network relies on legal certainty to attract institutional projects and large-scale tokenization initiatives. With defined compliance standards, corporations can confidently deploy applications on the Hedera network.

Critical Period Approaches

The timeline outlined by Lummis places focus on the coming weeks. Rietveld’s commentary reinforces the importance of monitoring developments and positioning appropriately.

For XRP and HBAR holders, the convergence of legislative action and regulatory clarity represents a significant opportunity. The expected markup and committee action before the end of April could provide the legal certainty that has long been awaited in the U.S. digital asset market.

The post New Document: Hedera (HBAR) Is Quantum Resistant appeared first on Times Tabloid.

]]> Crypto researcher SMQKE has published a post on X asserting that Hedera can be classified as “quantum resistant,” emphasizing that documented technical specifications support the claim.

The post is presented as a direct reference to Hedera’s publicly available materials, focusing on the network’s cryptographic design and its ability to adapt to evolving security standards.

Hedera’s Architecture and Consensus Model

The material shared alongside the post outlines Hedera’s use of a directed acyclic graph structure rather than a traditional blockchain. This design allows transactions to be processed in parallel rather than sequentially, which distinguishes it from conventional distributed ledger systems.

The documentation further explains that the network relies on a hashgraph consensus mechanism built on a gossip protocol that distributes information efficiently across nodes.

According to the referenced text, the system is supported by asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance, a security model that enables consensus even when some nodes behave maliciously. This framework is presented as a key component of Hedera’s resilience and reliability in adversarial conditions, reinforcing the network’s broader security posture.

Cryptographic Standards and Quantum Considerations

The post places particular emphasis on the cryptographic standards implemented within the network. The attached material specifies the use of CNSA-aligned standards in Transport Layer Security connections between nodes, and in cryptographic operations executed on-chain.

It highlights the inclusion of 384-bit SHA-2 hashing in HMAC constructions, described in the document as “quantum resistant” under current CNSA 2.0 guidance.

Additional cryptographic components referenced include 256-bit AES keys for symmetric encryption and RSA with 2048-bit keys. The documentation also notes support for modern signature algorithms such as Ed25519 and ECDSA using the secp256k1 curve. These elements are presented collectively to demonstrate the breadth of Hedera’s cryptographic framework.

Design Flexibility and Future Adaptation

SMQKE’s post also highlighted a key aspect of Hedera’s design: its capacity to integrate new cryptographic standards without requiring disruptive network upgrades. The referenced material states that Hedera was built to accommodate evolving demands and technological changes, including those associated with quantum computing.

The document explains that while many distributed ledger systems may require fundamental structural changes to adopt post-quantum cryptography, Hedera can introduce new algorithms without initiating a hard fork. It cites the network’s prior addition of ECDSA support after launch as evidence of this capability and indicates that similar upgrades could be implemented to address future quantum-related risks.

By presenting these documented specifications, SMQKE positions Hedera’s “quantum-resistant” label as a claim grounded in existing technical disclosures rather than speculation.

]]> Crypto researcher SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) recently shared a video featuring comments from Sushil Prabhu, the CEO of Dropp. In the clip, the CEO outlined what to expect as bank integrations roll out on Hedera. His comments focused on measurable adoption metrics and how financial institutions will interact with the network through Dropp’s infrastructure.

Prabhu explained that financial institutions are interested in Dropp’s use of digital signatures for each payment and transaction record. He stated that when users open accounts through the platform, those accounts are created directly on the Hedera distributed ledger. This structure means account creation itself becomes an on-chain activity.

He said that once bank integrations begin, the number of new accounts will increase rapidly. According to him, “the number of account openings will go up exponentially.” This growth would directly reflect on Hedera because of each new account on the network.

Every Payment Becomes a Hedera Transaction

Prabhu also explained that all payments processed through Dropp run through Hedera services. He said, “Every transaction is going to be a Hedera transaction.” He specified that the platform uses both the Hedera Token Service and the Hedera Consensus Service to process and record activity.

Institutions are already adopting Hedera. This structure will increase network usage. According to him, users should expect “millions of transactions happening per day” because micropayments involve some small transactions rather than large transfers. The CEO also explained that Hedera’s low transaction costs make this model viable at scale, and these advantages could make it a mainstream asset.

Dropp’s Role in Financial Institution Payment Systems

Dropp operates as a micropayments platform for very small digital payments. The system allows banks, merchants, and consumers to send small payments instantly at low cost. The platform is now working with financial institutions to integrate instant payment options.

Prabhu explained that Dropp is being integrated as a payment service within banks so they can offer it directly to merchants and consumers as a payment method. He also stated that the platform will support instant payment rails such as FedNow or RTP, depending on which option is most cost-effective.

What Adoption Will Look Like on Hedera

According to the CEO’s comments, the key metrics to watch are account creation and transaction volume. New accounts created through bank integrations will appear on Hedera, and micropayment activity will generate large numbers of daily transactions.

His comments indicate that bank distribution could significantly increase Hedera network usage. This could make it a major player in the crypto space, fulfilling predictions that it could become big like Bitcoin.

]]> Hedera (HBAR) is approaching a critical point as its circulating supply nears its maximum limit. The total supply has now exceeded 43 billion HBAR out of a 50 billion maximum, leaving about 7 billion HBAR yet to be released by the Hedera team. This rapidly shrinking available supply sets the stage for a significant market event.

Crypto commentator AiMan (@CryptoXAiMan) highlighted the potential impact in a recent video, emphasizing that this supply change is poised to influence HBAR’s price.

He explained that the total supply has been steadily increasing since HBAR’s launch in 2019, while the remaining unreleased tokens have been steadily decreasing. According to AiMan, “Soon there will be no more Hedera HBAR to be sold by the Hedera team.”

Rising Demand for  Hedera (HBAR)

This shift in supply comes as demand for HBAR is projected to rise sharply. Hedera’s network is expanding its use in decentralized applications, central bank digital currencies, and AI-based solutions. AiMan noted that these developments, combined with the decreasing availability of HBAR, create a strong foundation for future price growth.

Long-Term Growth Potential

The current market capitalization of Hedera HBAR has reached new highs, surpassing previous levels observed during the 2024 bull run. AiMan noted that while the market cap has reached all-time highs, HBAR’s price has not yet matched these gains. Once the remaining HBAR is fully released, the price could adjust accordingly, reflecting the token’s scarcity.

AiMan also outlined the long-term potential for HBAR if its market cap were to reach levels comparable to Ethereum or even Bitcoin. At Ethereum’s market cap of approximately $280 billion, HBAR could reach over $6 per token. He added that where HBAR’s market cap matches Bitcoin’s, each token could reach $34.

Experts have projected for years that HBAR could become as big as Bitcoin. These projections suggest that HBAR may experience substantial growth in the coming years as supply constraints become more pronounced.

Key Takeaways for HBAR Holders

The timeline for the complete release of all 50 billion HBAR is projected to extend through 2030. As this supply limit approaches, the remaining tokens will become increasingly scarce, creating a supply shock. Combined with anticipated demand growth, this shortage could trigger significant upward pressure on HBAR’s price.

Hedera’s growing network adoption, along with the near-cap of circulating HBAR, positions the token for a potentially transformative period. AiMan concluded that “big things are coming up with the supply shock, with the increase in demand,” signaling a crucial phase for HBAR holders.

]]> State Street Global Advisors Europe Limited and BlackRock Asset Management Ireland Ltd have officially chosen Hedera for their tokenized money market funds.

This development signals growing institutional adoption of blockchain technology for liquidity management. Crypto researcher SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) confirmed this in a recent post, noting the structured use of Hedera in these major funds.

State Street and BlackRock Funds on Hedera

State Street Global Advisors Europe Limited has multiple funds on Hedera. These include the USD, GBP, and EUR Liquidity LVNAV Funds, as well as USD and GBP Government Liquidity Funds.

BlackRock Asset Management Ireland Ltd has also deployed several funds on Hedera. These cover the US Dollar, Sterling, and Euro Liquidity Funds, including the US Treasury and Government Liquidity Funds. Both firms use Archax as the custodian for these tokenized assets.

Asset-Backed Token Structures

The choice of Hedera highlights a preference for efficiency and reliability in digital native fund structures. Just like XRP, Hedera is seen as an institution-safe asset.

Each fund employs an asset-backed token model with a beneficial interest trust legal structure. This setup enables intermediated holding while maintaining secure, registered digital shares.

Hedera’s integration into these funds sets a clear precedent for digital asset adoption among large financial institutions. State Street and BlackRock are globally recognized asset managers, and their selection of Hedera reflects trust in the blockchain’s performance.

Using a regulated, tokenized structure allows these institutions to maintain transparency while enabling faster settlement and improved liquidity management.

Institutional Trend Toward Blockchain

The broader pattern shows that traditional asset managers are actively exploring digital infrastructure. Hedera’s use for multiple liquidity and government funds indicates that tokenized assets are no longer experimental.

By leveraging blockchain, these firms reduce reliance on conventional clearing processes and increase transparency across fund operations. For HBAR holders, this could translate to greater adoption in institutional corridors and heightened market activity.

Industry Validation

The confirmation of Hedera adoption by these major firms signals a shift in how liquidity is managed globally. State Street and BlackRock have established a framework that other institutions may follow. SMQKE’s post documents this trend, indicating clear industry validation of blockchain-based fund management.

As blockchain technology becomes increasingly integrated into institutional finance, assets like Hedera could see increased institutional adoption. This could lead to higher demand and a potential price increase.

]]> HBAR has drawn attention recently as a leader in real-world asset tokenization. This area is becoming increasingly important as institutions seek efficient ways to digitize and manage assets.

Levi Rietveld, a crypto analyst, shared his perspective on what 1,000 HBAR could be worth in 2026, providing a detailed analysis of market potential and token adoption.

Real-World Asset Tokenization as a Growth Driver

Rietveld emphasizes that HBAR’s strength lies in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. “HBAR is a complete leader in this,” he stated. Tokenizing physical and financial assets on a distributed ledger enables faster processing, increased transparency, and reduced operational costs. HBAR is making strides in this sector, competing with major players like XRP.

Analysts and industry studies forecast that the total RWA market could reach trillions of dollars in the coming years. McKinsey projects $2-$4 trillion by 2030, ARK Invest estimates $11 trillion, and Roland Berger suggests $10-$11 trillion. Even capturing a fraction of this market would significantly impact HBAR’s value.

Potential Market Impact on HBAR

Rietveld outlined a scenario in which Hedera processes $1 trillion of tokenized assets, capturing just 10% of the RWA network. In this case, the effect on HBAR could be substantial. He believes this move could push HBAR up to $5, much higher than its current price of $0.1014.

While this is a high-end scenario, it highlights the magnitude of value that could accrue to HBAR from meaningful adoption in real-world asset tokenization. Even moderate success in this sector would likely increase demand for HBAR and strengthen its market position. Rietveld expects to see this growth in the asset’s price.

Price Predictions for 2026

Rietveld provided specific price estimates for 2026. He set a high-end prediction at $0.50 per HBAR. His reasonable target is $0.30, while placing the low end between $0.20 and $0.30.

Based on these figures, owning 1,000 HBAR could deliver notable gains if these predictions materialize. His analysis suggests that HBAR has immense potential and can quickly multiply in value as adoption expands.

The primary factor supporting these price predictions is Hedera’s leadership in RWA tokenization. Hedera’s network is positioned to dominate this rapidly growing industry. Rietveld’s estimates reflect this growing institutional interest and the potential for HBAR to capture a large market share.

The post XRP and HBAR Are Now Institution-Safe Assets? Here’s the Latest appeared first on Times Tabloid.

]]> A recent statement from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been interpreted by crypto enthusiast X Finance Bull as a meaningful turning point for institutional engagement with digital assets, particularly XRP and Hedera’s HBAR.

According to the commentary, the significance lies not in policy speculation or market optimism, but in the language now being used by the country’s primary securities regulator when addressing public blockchain infrastructure.

The assessment focuses on comments made by SEC Chair Paul Atkins in an accompanying video, where he stated that public blockchains provide a level of transparency that surpasses traditional financial systems.

He explained that every movement of value on these networks is permanently recorded on ledgers that are open to public verification. According to X Finance Bull, the SEC Chair’s comment marks a clear shift away from the regulator’s historically cautious approach toward blockchain-based systems.

From Regulatory Skepticism to Institutional Viability

X Finance Bull characterizes the remarks as an implicit validation of blockchain technology rather than a neutral observation. In the analysis, the acknowledgment of superior transparency is viewed as removing a longstanding barrier that has limited institutional participation: regulatory skepticism. Once that skepticism begins to soften, the justification institutions require to engage with certain networks becomes easier to establish internally.

Within this context, the XRP Ledger and the Hedera network are highlighted as beneficiaries of the changing stance. X Finance Bull contends that building on these networks can now be presented as aligned with compliance standards and regulatory expectations. This, in turn, alters how risk committees, legal teams, and capital allocators may evaluate exposure to these ecosystems.

Capital Readiness and Infrastructure Implications

The commentary places particular emphasis on the distinction between market sentiment and infrastructure readiness. Rather than framing the situation as a price-driven development, X Finance Bull suggests that the implications are structural.

When a regulator publicly acknowledges the transparency advantages of public blockchains, the conditions for institutional capital deployment change at a foundational level.

The argument further asserts that markets have historically reacted strongly to signals less explicit than this one. In that light, the SEC chair’s remarks are presented as a clear indicator that regulatory attitudes toward blockchain-based settlement and record-keeping are evolving, with direct consequences for networks positioned around enterprise use cases.

X Finance Bull concludes that the shift may not be gradual. Institutional transitions, once regulatory cover is established, often occur rapidly. From this perspective, the current environment represents a limited period during which positioning can take place before broader adoption accelerates. For XRP and HBAR, the analysis suggests that the conversation has moved beyond legitimacy into execution.

]]> A recent post by crypto researcher SMQKE revisited a lesser-known but significant Federal Reserve research paper that examined Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus mechanisms as part of a broader framework for secure payment systems.

The paper, according to SMQKE, identified BFT-based models as the most efficient and scalable for distributed network operations, highlighting their advantages over mechanisms such as Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS).

This validation positioned BFT as the preferred architecture for high-speed and secure transaction processing within financial networks.

SMQKE emphasized that XRP, XLM, and HBAR already employ variations of Byzantine Agreement models within their respective consensus frameworks.

By referencing the Federal Reserve’s findings, the researcher suggested that these assets had long been technically aligned with the principles necessary for secure digital payment systems. The acknowledgment, therefore, was seen as an early endorsement of the technologies underpinning these networks.

Implications for ISO 20022-Compliant Assets

The discussion also drew attention to the relationship between these BFT-based assets and the ISO 20022 messaging standard, which is now widely adopted across international payment systems.

According to SMQKE, the combination of Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus and ISO 20022 compliance reinforces XRP, XLM, and HBAR’s suitability for integration into modern financial infrastructure.

This compatibility not only supports interoperability but also provides a framework for aligning distributed ledger technology with regulatory and institutional standards.

The researcher noted that this intersection between compliance and consensus efficiency may explain why these assets continue to be referenced in conversations about the evolving digital payments landscape.

As central banks and payment authorities modernize their infrastructures, the technical attributes outlined in the Federal Reserve’s earlier study appear increasingly relevant.

A Foundation for Broader Financial Integration

SMQKE further connected this research to the Federal Reserve’s more recent openness toward engaging with private crypto companies through its payment systems.

This development, the researcher argued, demonstrates that the foundations laid by prior studies on BFT and secure network design were not theoretical exercises, but preparatory steps toward a more integrated financial model involving digital assets.

Another X user, 36crypto, shared a similar interpretation, noting that the Federal Reserve’s acknowledgment of BFT’s strengths underscores the potential of XRP, XLM, and HBAR as efficient, scalable, and secure payment solutions.

The commentary reinforced the notion that these assets, due to their technical and compliance attributes, are well-positioned for greater adoption within institutional frameworks.

Overall, SMQKE’s analysis presents the Federal Reserve’s research as a precursor to current efforts toward blockchain-enabled financial modernization, situating BFT-led digital assets at the center of that ongoing transition.

]]> Crypto researcher SMQKE recently highlighted a statement from Tom Zschach, Chief Innovation Officer at SWIFT, who publicly commended the Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC) and Oliver Wyman for their work on advancing dialogue around blockchain adoption in institutional markets.

Zschach described the collaboration as “commendable work,” specifically noting the inclusion of industry leaders such as Ripple, Hedera, and Cardano.

Zschach’s comments were attached to a GBBC announcement regarding the release of the first draft of its Capital Markets Risk Mitigation Framework (RMF). The initiative will help regulated financial institutions assess and address non-financial risks associated with the use of public blockchains.

The framework will provide practical guidance for safe and sustainable blockchain adoption at scale, with GBBC inviting industry participants to provide feedback before October 3.

Community Reactions to SWIFT’s Recognition

SMQKE’s post on X drew attention to Zschach’s acknowledgment of Ripple, Hedera, and Cardano’s role in the GBBC collaboration. One X user responded, “Interesting to see SWIFT acknowledging blockchain progress!” Another, identified as “just a cartoon dog,” remarked, “This is significant – it varies his previous comment regarding Ripple wasn’t sarcasm.”

This response referenced earlier coverage by Times Tabloid, which reported on SMQKE’s analysis of a LinkedIn exchange following Ripple’s $200 million acquisition of Rail, a company specializing in stablecoin infrastructure.

At the time, Zschach commented on the development, calling it “another ‘checkmate’ moment” while also clarifying that the competition in cross-border payments was “nowhere near over.”

His use of quotation marks around “checkmate” led some observers, including an X user Nietzbux, to suggest that the comment may have been made in a sarcastic context, reflecting the frequent use of the phrase by online commentators rather than a literal endorsement.

Shifting Tone on Ripple and Blockchain Adoption

The new recognition of the GBBC collaboration, however, has been interpreted by some community members as a shift in tone from the SWIFT Chief Innovation Officer.

While previously his remarks left room for debate on whether Ripple’s acquisition signaled a decisive advantage, his latest statement clearly highlights the importance of Ripple, alongside other blockchain entities, in shaping frameworks designed for institutional blockchain adoption.

For observers, the fact that SWIFT’s innovation head has openly supported GBBC’s work and named Ripple, Hedera, and Cardano as part of this “commendable” effort is viewed as an important signal of how traditional financial infrastructure providers are engaging with blockchain initiatives.

SMQKE’s report underscores how such recognition may reflect an evolving perspective within SWIFT on blockchain’s role in the future of global finance.

]]> In a recent development, Eric Trump, son of President Donald Trump, has confirmed plans to eliminate capital gains taxes on cryptocurrencies from the United States.

This policy aims to bolster the domestic crypto industry by providing tax exemptions to U.S.-based projects such as XRP, Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR), Algorand (ALGO), and Cardano (ADA).

The initiative seeks to position the United States as a global leader in the cryptocurrency sector by fostering innovation and investment within its borders.

Eric Trump emphasized the administration’s commitment to creating a favorable environment for the crypto community, contrasting it with previous regulatory approaches.

He criticized former regulatory officials for their stringent stance on cryptocurrencies, stating that the prior administration waged war against the community.

In contrast, the current administration aims to implement “sane regulation” to support the growth and integration of blockchain technologies into the financial system.

Senator Ted Cruz’s Efforts to Overturn IRS Regulations on DeFi Platforms

In parallel with the executive branch’s initiatives, legislative efforts are underway to address regulatory challenges in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector.

Senator Ted Cruz has announced plans to repeal specific provisions within the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that impose reporting requirements on entities involved in cryptocurrency transactions.

The current regulations mandate that brokers, including those operating on DeFi platforms, report user transactions to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) using Form 1099-DA.

Senator Cruz’s proposed legislation seeks to exempt decentralized entities from these reporting obligations, thereby promoting the growth of DeFi platforms. He contends that the existing regulations could drive the burgeoning DeFi industry offshore due to compliance challenges and privacy concerns.

By overturning these provisions, the aim is to maintain the United States’ competitive edge in the rapidly evolving global financial landscape.

Implications for the U.S. Cryptocurrency Landscape

The proposed elimination of capital gains taxes on U.S.-based cryptocurrencies, coupled with efforts to repeal stringent IRS reporting requirements, signifies a substantial shift in the United States’ approach to cryptocurrency regulation.

These initiatives are designed to attract investment, encourage innovation, and solidify the country’s position as a leader in the global crypto market.

However, these policy changes have sparked debate regarding their potential impact on market dynamics and regulatory oversight.

While proponents argue that tax exemptions and relaxed reporting requirements will stimulate economic growth and technological advancement, critics express concerns about the potential for increased market volatility and reduced consumer protections.

The balance between fostering innovation and ensuring a secure financial environment remains a central consideration as these policies are deliberated.
