Hedera added two new partners to its Council network, expanding its Strategic and Community Partners program with additions that strengthen its decentralized infrastructure for real-world use cases.
HBAR retreated towards $0.08 as social-media posts turned a patent reference into an unconfirmed claim of US government adoption.
WISeKey becomes Hedera Council's fourth Strategic Partner, adding expertise in cybersecurity, digital identity, IoT and post-quantum security. SpaceDev joins as the eighth Community Partner, expanding Hedera's reach across Latin America and supporting regional blockchain development. The partnerships strengthen Hedera's focus on machine-to-machine transactions, carbon markets, quantum security and enterprise blockchain applications.
