October was a groundbreaking month for the institutional-grade @Hedera network.

From an HBAR ETF listing and network staking boost to Agentic DeFi and Verifiable AI for governments and enterprises - let’s dive in 🧵 Image
The launch of @CanaryFund’s HBR ETF on the US stock market was a monumental achievement for the industry as a whole.

As the third cryptocurrency to get a listing, after only Bitcoin and Ethereum, the network's institutional-grade differentiators shone through. Image
The HBAR ETF launch was not in isolation - but against the backdrop of another large announcement.

As we continue to drive both institutional and retail adoption of Hedera - we sent an additional 250M HBAR to the native Hedera staking account 0.0.800:

Following the news that tokenized stocks like $TSLA and $AAPL were coming to Hedera DeFi, CBO @GregoryLBell took to the stage at @blockworksDAS with @SwarmMarkets to discuss the latest developments: Image
In line with our work to expand the Hedera retail community across DeFi and beyond, we then launched the first-ever Hedera Vietnam Builders Meetup for Hedera developers in SE Asia.

Alongside our partners @var_meta and @jaycoolh at @Hashgraph - we brought together local builders, developers, and founders to explore real-world use cases on Hedera.Image
On the retail side, through @deadpixels_club’s Forever Mint and marketplaces @SentX_io and @KabilaApp, October revealed that Q3 was one of the largest NFT months on record - with trading volumes soaring over 16x.

We look forward to the next mint party:

As highlighted by the @DappRadar ecosystem report, this ecosystem growth was not isolated to NFT volume.

Dapp activity is up 190% YoY, onchain transactions surged 386%, and smart contract volumes climbed 88% QoQ to $3.7 billion. Image
Working to keep up the onchain momentum, @AgentHustleAI then launched Agentic DeFi on Hedera.

Through the launch of their AI agent - users can now set conditional DeFi orders all through the ease of natural language:

Closing out the month on an enterprise AI high - @EQTYLab and @Accenture then unveiled a new Verifiable AI architecture at @NVIDIAGTC - enabling agencies and enterprises to deploy AI agents with encrypted attestations and policy-enforced operations:

Popular debates in crypto tend to focus on decentralization vs control.

What's often missed is discussion of how networks are developed to enable both institutions and retail alike.

That's where @Hedera comes in to play 🧵 Image
First off, Hedera is governed by the likes of @Google, @IBM, @Nomura, @SBGroup, and beyond.

As council members they run nodes, explore use cases, and help govern the network.

This means institutions know exactly who validates transactions and that they are aren't sanctioned. Image
Front-running is a huge issue that kills institutional adoption before it starts.

Hedera's consensus mechanism prevents this through the fair ordering of transactions.

This matters more to a compliance officer than any feature developers typically prioritize.

With the HBAR Faucet by @HashportNetwork, it's never been easier to explore the @Hedera DeFi ecosystem 🤝

Users can claim a small amount of HBAR to cover initial transaction fees such as DEX swaps, token associations, and beyond 🧵
The HBAR Faucet is the first mainnet token faucet and is being hosted by Hashport at .

Hashport is Hedera’s native bridge and complements other ecosystem bridges such as @StargateFinance.faucet.hashport.network
Alongside the HBAR Faucet, Hashport has also launched "HashPass", a Hedera account verification system that helps to increase ecosystem trust while keeping users better protected from bot activity.

Today marks an acceleration of institutional-grade RWAs on @Hedera, with @SwarmMarkets bringing tokenized stocks like $AAPL, $TSLA, and gold natively to the network 🧵
This initiative allows for compliant, asset-backed instruments to be held and managed directly on Hedera, and in turn opens new opportunities for treasuries, institutions, and developers to diversify portfolios and drive adoption.
Currently, exiting a tokenized position onchain is a complex process that takes several days due to the traditional settlement process.

With this integration on Hedera, a redemption pool will be created for ease of access in moving out of a position.
