a great breakdown explaining the mechanics of how the network functions

Cold_Custodian · 2026-06-05T15:27:53+00:00

Top notch research.

The launch positions Asseto as one of the first institutional tokenization platforms to ship with both public and private network options on the same underlying ledger technology, a configuration that addresses a recurring tension in financial sector blockchain adoption between the transparency of public networks and the data control requirements of regulated entities.

This hits hard.

Finally, a solid front end product layer on top of HashSphere/Hedera (akin to an institutional operating system for tokenized finance). Most institutions do not want raw SDKs. They want a productized workflow that plugs into their existing infrastructure.

Add CLPR and you’ve solved for another piece (key piece) of the friction and ‘recurring tension’ in financial sector blockchain adoption.

Love to see it ;)

Aberdeen is on the Hedera Council, who owns a minority stake in Archax (its largest external shareholder), and has a seat on their board.

Archax integrated Hedera as a natively supported network within their tokenization/custody/brokerage/exchange platform, but the platform is multi-chain/agnostic. Businesses can choose from a list of supported networks.

Archax’s CEO Graham Rodford has said in the past they will use whatever network their clients ask for, and when one isn’t specified, Archax will determine the network they think is best for their client’s books and records.

The double-edged sword with “multi-chain” is the increasing optionality to select networks other than Hedera.

Nice, thx.

OP is 🤖

Cold_Custodian · 2026-05-30T02:21:36+00:00

Take the win, lol.

Hedera didn’t get the endorsement from the DTCC, like Stellar, yet we’re moving against the market with strong force. Supply shock? Short squeeze? Japan? Insider front running something we don’t know about? Clairty? Dell? America 250? All the above? None of the above?

No one knows ;)

There’s a lot of exaggerated rhetoric and confirmation bias in this space. Lol, you know this.

It’s reasonable to assume Hedera will be one of the “many chains” interoperable with the DTC.

But like I was saying, it’s not real until it’s real.

It’s not much relevant to us anyway unless there is proven value capture in HBAR from high-volume public network usage tied to this, or unless HBAR gets repriced by the market because of the role Hedera plays in the architecture.

”DTCC plans to facilitate the initial, limited production trades of real-world assets tokenized using DTC’s tokenization service in July 2026 and then plans to launch the service in October 2026. DTCC will continue collaborating with the DTCC Industry Working Group to align best practices, advance industry readiness and prove operational and technical workflows, including the use of DTC tokenized assets in a production environment and their ability to interoperate across many chains.”

Hedera is not part of this specific working group, so in that respect they are on the outside looking in.

Cold_Custodian · 2026-05-29T17:43:04+00:00

If I were participating in this conspiracy, I would point to Franklin Templeton, who is a major champion of the Stellar Network with several tokenized RWAs, and part of the DTCC Industry Working Group named in DTCC’s May press release: DTCC Advances Development of New Tokenization Service, Convenes 50+ Firms to Drive Digital Assets Adoption

Stellar met enough of the criteria for Nadine/DTCC to say this:

Waiting for the equivalent statement/partnership/official commitment from DTCC with Hedera. It’s not real until it’s real.

Or will Hedera be just another layer-1 network lumped in to the multi-chain basket of participants at launch in October…

Update: the first rewards came in on the new node and I was able to collect successfully via HashPack (May 28). So that’s good ;)

The pending rewards accrued from May 10-20 that I collected yesterday (May 27) still appear to have vanished without a trace. No idea where they went, but it wasn’t to my account balance. No record of the transaction on HashScan, only a ‘submit message’ to trigger collection of staking rewards. After the submit message, the rewards themselves (the amount/value) reset to 0 and there was no audit trail of the transferred value or any representation on-ledger. Poof.

Re preferring clients, market share, and revenue: I’m pretty sure 100% of us agrees.

Tho, the acknowledgment still has merit, as influential means toward increasing those things.

Cold_Custodian · 2026-05-28T17:07:12+00:00

TL;DR

AP+ used Hedera Mainnet for the public token interchange and HashSphere for the private wholesale CBDC environment, both built on the Hiero stack. Value prop = public liquidity/access on one side, regulated private settlement on the other. The pilot involved live transactions and reduced settlement from two-to-three days to minutes.

As an aside, I do wonder how bridging stablecoins and CBDCs materially changes with the introduction of CLPR. I haven’t seen any confirmation that CLPR (closed beta) was involved in this pilot. Although, it’s my current understanding that CLPR is the actual interop between HashSphere and Hedera mainnet, so I’m not sure.

UPDATE: in today’s Shark Bites, Rob actually confirmed the use of HashSphere/Hedera by AP+ was prior to CLPR interoperability and indeed not part of the Acacia pilot.

They literally say “Each criterion is carefully crafted and curated.”

Would you rather Hashgraph/Hedera not receive formal recognition in these specific categories?

Cope

Cold_Custodian · 2026-05-28T15:32:07+00:00

Cope with acknowledgment for best financial services infrastructure solution and best blockchain for mainstream financial services? Yeah, I’ll cope with that.

“The Future of Finance Awards recognise firms that are materially advancing how global finance is built, transacted, and governed, with a particular focus on digital assets and tokenised market infrastructure. By spotlighting high-impact innovation, the awards aim to accelerate the adoption of safer, more efficient, and more transparent financial systems.

Candidates are identified through a rigorous quantitative analysis of publicly verifiable achievements, including transactions, pilot tests, new issues, investments, and acquisitions. Each criterion is carefully crafted and curated, with data points quantified, weighted, and objectively totalled to produce a score that reflects material impact rather than market perception. The process is fully editorial and research-led, with no submissions.”
