Every time I bridge to a new chain, I feel like I’m entering a sketchy part of town with no map and a fake passport fr.

HBAR Foundation has officially joined the ERC3643 Association, a strategic move that demonstrates their commitment to expanding the application of Real World Assets (RWA) tokenization. More than just a formality, this collaboration paves the way for broader collaboration with various institutions in utilizing ERC-3643, a standard that has been widely used in issuing and managing blockchain-based assets in a regulatory-compliant manner. In other words, this is like laying a strong foundation before building a magnificent house called the future digital economy. ERC-3643 itself is not a new player. This standard has been used in various cases, including the tokenization of green bonds by major banks such as Citi and ABN AMRO. With its permission-based characteristics, ERC-3643 allows the issuance of digital assets that are more controllable and in accordance with the law. So if you imagine digital assets like building access cards, ERC-3643 ensures that only people with permission can enter. Joining the HBAR Foundation is not just a matter of branding. Through this collaboration, they will encourage more institutions to look at and use ERC-3643, especially on the Hedera network. On the other hand, the position of the HBAR Foundation, which is directly involved in the Hedera Governing Council, gives them the space to align this standard with enterprise needs without having to sacrifice the technological efficiency that is already Hedera’s hallmark. If usually the adoption of new technology takes a long time because large companies tend to be careful, the presence of a proven standard such as ERC-3643 can be a bridge. Moreover, with the HBAR Foundation helping to encourage the use of this standardization, the onboarding process can be faster and with minimal drama. “We’re excited for The HBAR Foundation to join the ERC3643 Association, enabling us in our mission to accelerate institutional adoption of the Hedera network and onchain finance as a whole,” said Sabrina Tachdjian, Head of Fintech & Payments at The HBAR Foundation. In February, Hedera also had two other big news. First, their collaboration with Dell Technologies. Dell will use Hedera to record real-time data from its edge infrastructure. This step is to ensure that the recorded data can be trusted and can be audited at any time. Interestingly, this project also involves testing AI services integrated with the Hedera Consensus Service. So besides the blockchain, there is a touch of AI that makes this project even more relevant. Furthermore, Hitachi, a giant Japanese company, has also officially joined the Hedera Governing Council as the 32nd member. With Hitachi’s entry, Hedera strengthens its foothold in the Asian market. And more importantly, a name as big as Hitachi adds value in terms of credibility. When a company of this class chooses to enter a network, it is a kind of signal to the market that Hedera is not a playful project. On the other hand, CNF had reported a bullish prediction from a crypto analyst for the HBAR token. Based on technical analysis and the breakout of important resistance levels, the analyst sees a potential rally of more than 140% for this token. Meanwhile, as of press time, HBAR is swapped hands at about $0.1601, down 7.49% over the last 24 hours and 16.28% over the last 7 days.

What if France became a hub of innovation for Bitcoin? While the debates on cryptocurrency often oscillate between fascination and distrust, Clara Chappaz, the delegated minister for Digital Affairs, opens an unprecedented door: exploiting French nuclear power to mine Bitcoin. A bold proposal, blending economic pragmatism and energy sovereignty. During a visit to Ledger, a French leader in blockchain security, the minister outlined a vision where the Hexagon could tame the paradoxes of Bitcoin. Not without nuance. The idea is not new, but it is gaining credibility. EDF, a public energy giant, is drowning under a debt of 65 billion euros. However, its nuclear plants sometimes produce an unused surplus of electricity… Why not convert this energy into Bitcoin? A simple calculation: cryptocurrency mining valorizes excess electricity, generating instant revenues. Marine Le Pen mentioned it in Flamanville, but the government remained silent. Until now. Clara Chappaz breaks the taboo. “This subject has been captured by extreme fringes of public debate, while it deserves serious analysis” No noisy communication, but a thorough study. The recent appointment of Bernard Fontana at the head of EDF offers a fresh perspective. “We need to evaluate this without ideology, ask the right economic questions”, she insists . A pragmatism that contrasts with traditional postures. There remains a pitfall: the image of Bitcoin, often associated with speculation or pollution. The minister knows this. “It’s inter-ministerial, not just digital”, she slips. An implicit admission: to convince Bercy or the Energy Transition, figures will be needed, not slogans. What if France became a low carbon mining laboratory? The equation is tempting… but fragile. If Bitcoin crystallizes economic hopes, it also questions French digital sovereignty. Another challenge awaits Clara Chappaz: reconciling innovation and regulation, between digital euro and administrative sluggishness. The digital euro is advancing, but fears persist. Christine Lagarde (ECB) sets October 2025 as the deadline for its launch. Behind the scenes, Clara Chappaz listens to French stakeholders. The protection of personal data is crucial, she reminds. A message to Brussels, where the project struggles to reassure. The minister promises dialogue spaces to carry local voices. But Europe is moving slowly, and France must play collectively. “Let’s organize ourselves!”, she urges the ecosystem. Specifically, French companies need to unite their positions, despite their differences. A challenge: how to reconcile pro-Bitcoin start-ups and traditional banks? The minister sees herself as a mediator, “a bridge between France and Europe.” A key role, as the European regulator (MiCA) imposes strict rules. Another grievance: the delays from the AMF. PSAN approval requests drag on, hampering innovation. Clara Chappaz tackles the subject head-on. “I’ve discussed this with the AMF. Let’s simplify, let’s draw inspiration from abroad.” A veiled criticism towards an administration that can sometimes be paralyzed. For the minister, accelerating procedures is vital. Can France become a crypto hub while respecting standards? The balance is delicate. Clara Chappaz embodies a new generation of decision-makers: tech-savvy, yet realistic. Her approach to Bitcoin? Neither idealism nor rejection, but a quest for added value made in France. Between nuclear mining and the digital euro, the road is fraught with obstacles. But one certainty remains: France refuses to be a spectator in a society where cash could soon disappear .

The State of Wyoming has officially launched the first state-affiliated stablecoin, the Wyoming Stable Token (WYST), on multiple blockchains. This is a major advancement, as Wyoming is the first state in the United States to offer a fiat-backed and reserve-created stablecoin. Wyoming officials disclosed the testing phase during the official fireside chat at the DC Blockchain Summit on March 26. Governor Mark Gordon, who also chairs the Stable Token Commission, noted the stable leadership Wyoming is taking in advocating for the legalisation of digital assets. Speaking to Executive Director Anthony Apollo, he confirmed that WYST has been deployed on the Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and Base testnets using valueless tokens. This stablecoin follows the legal laws for over-collateralization with cash and the U.S. Treasury funds to meet its mandates. The interest that is generated from such reserves will go to the Wyoming School Foundation Fund, giving the initiative a broader state-level applicability. The Governor of Wyoming stressed Wyoming’s dedication to blockchain transparency and security, pointing out that the stablecoin backed by reserves will be auditable. LayerZero Labs, the token issuance partner for WYST, is overseeing the technical implementation of WYST by using the Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) Standard. This architecture allows the issuance of tokens from one chain to live on another chain with ease. During initial demonstrations, a cross-chain transaction was performed with Ethereum and Avalanche testnets using the Stargate bridge, which operates on LayerZero technology. Simon Baksys, the Vice President of Business Development at LayerZero Labs, explained that the Wyoming dollar onchain is the future of Finance. WYST’s multichain compatibility, which was to be implemented later in the development stage, has been precociously activated in the state to integrate into the mainnet. These test transactions make it possible to assess the performance of a given system prior to going live. The Wyoming Stable Token Act was proposed in February of 2022 and laid the foundation for the state-issued stablecoin. The legislation required that the coin be linked to the US dollar and be redeemable for legal tender money. After the law was passed in March 2023, technical experts, accountants, and auditors formed the development team to manage the stablecoin’s generation and issuance. As the initiative advanced, the Stable Token Commission recruited industry and government leaders to investigate the use of stablecoins. Although Governor Gordon expected it to go live in Q1 2025 when speaking to an audience at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium in August 2024, the timeline of development has extended beyond the estimates. The stablecoin will be backed up with the U.S. Treasury Bills and repurchase agreements for financial stability purposes. This can be aligned with the growing interest in stablecoins among players in the corporate world and state institutions. Currently, the asset management firm Fidelity Investments is weighing the possibility of its own stablecoin as part of its digital cash plans.
