This is a big deal for @hedera and the entire crypto ecosystem. @BRLarryDFink is a huge supporter of tokenization so this is at a minimum an experiment to see how @hedera performs. But the bigger point is that crypto ecosystem should be applauding a fund manager of this size.

ATH - price. ATH Market cap. ATH CMC Rank. #hbar and still so undervalued vs all of the (barely used) other layer 1s. Who else is doing 4mm transactions a day with huge building from the top global enterprises about to take that use waaaay higher?.

1/6) Solana was DDoS attacked again yesterday. This attack exploited fundamental design flaws which are considered features by SOL. As it sacrifices decentralization & security for speed. While ignoring the consequences of that trade off. Specifically Proof of History & Turbine:.

@Cointelegraph @BlackRock @hedera Instead of cheering for what is industry wide moment @Cointelegraph choses to question the entire story - as if this happened without @BlackRock knowing? What a travesty of a publication.
@DJ_Bax01 @BlackRock @hedera @HBAR_foundation Hey @DJ_Bax01 - all parties involved were aware that we were tokenising on Hedera. We always speak to issuers before tokenising their assets on chain.

Love seeing @hedera outperform! This is all about the institutional use cases and volume that @AveryDennison is driving. More to come I am sure. Hedera is THE institutional DLT. Don’t complicate it! Go where the puck is going! #kiss!.

Last week saw many examples of huge potential institutional uses cases on @Hedera that should account for 10s of billions of annual transactions that only Hedera can do. Hedera is, always has been and always will be the best institutional DLT and it should lean in👇🧵.

This is very big news. It is likely the largest DLT/Blockchain use case in production. potential for 300 billion coupons to be on this annually - a scale and reliability only possible with @Hedera.

@MWalkerWilliams Rather than a simple piece about price pump/dump . the real story here is why is this fund tokenized on @hedera and not on ANY of the other (much larger) L1s? Why not on #SOL #XRP ! #AVAX #NEAR #ICP #ADA #DOT etc. Are they not capable? Do they not want tokenization? Seems odd.

@hedera is just going to win. It’s more and more obvious. Hedera is THE institutional DLT - governed by institutions for institutions. No one else is close.
1/3 We are excited to announce that @abrdn_plc - the UK-based asset manager currently holding £508bn AUM - has joined the @Hedera Governing Council in a move to transform existing structural inefficiencies in the fund management industry using #DLT.

Very bullish on @THORChain - largest p2p swapping of *native* crypto assets. Every $1 of AUM added (appreciation or new assets) requires $3 of RUNE. If the tech works . and it does . holders of RUNE are double leveraged on the growth of crypto. More detail

@hedera doesn’t have this flawed architecture or vulnerabilities. And it has done 2bn…billion . transactions since launch. No leader means far harder to ddos. At 0.001 per transaction it is the clear leader with institutions - Google, IBM, LG, Nomura, Chainlink, DLA etc etc.
1/18) I do not support SOL, there are far too many red flags. Consistently displaying a pattern of bad behavior. Prioritizing attracting ignorant investors over good blockchain design. There are many examples of lies, fraud & bad design. I will go over several in this thread:.

Congrats to @samimian33 and @BladeWallet for getting @hedera #HBAR listed in Japan. Worlds 3rd largest economy and only 58 coins approved (!) with only 8 (!!) on 10+ exchanges. Expect to see #HBAR up there soon especially since staking is coming.

@hbar_research .@hedera is the first DLT to scale from outside the industry . ie institutional use cases. This hasn’t happened yet so everyone was skeptical and have been in wait and see mode. But the penny will drop. hedera is the THE institutional DLT and investors will need exposure.

This is terrific news.

@hedera has none of these issues and can handle the volumes. Besides going offline because volume (!), as a leader based algorithm, Solana is subject to attacks that @hedera isn’t.
My latest - Traders are complaining about Solana's network performance, raising questions about whether it’s ready for Wall Street .

@hedera @leemonbaird @ManceHarmon @brettmcdowell #SBTs -super compelling. I bet @swirldslabs could build this capability for Hedera before anyone else. So many uses for corporate, healthcare, education and entertainment. just for starters. @hedera could be first and dominate!.

This is the largest non financial use case I have seen live on a DLT. At scale this will be over 100 billion annual transactions.

@HelloFuture01 The risk / reward of Solana & Cardano vs HBAR is just off the charts. In a world where they double, Hedera is 10x+. And Hedera could 10x without them moving at all.

DLT is complex to build: the best teams and devs still can make mistakes, suffer attacks, outages, losses. If it was easy it would already be done. How a project addresses flaws/mistakes/hacks makes a huge difference. @THORChain #rune has set a high standard.

How can @coinbase be serious? When top 30 coins like #HBAR are not listed. And no #AR or #HNT. Who is making these (random) decisions?.
Coinbase back at it with the great listing suggestions of “Polkamon”, “Big Data Protocol” and “StudentCoin”. Let’s take a look at these highly desirable assets.

Sad to see @HBARPrice so out of touch. @hedera is supporting a cause so undeniably just that leading companies have done the same. He also seems to have missed the memo that many Russians don’t support the invasion. Is Polkadot equally doomed becuse Gavin Wood donated $6mm DOT?

@CharlesXAdkins @RmsRms77s @NicholasVottero @HBAR_foundation I would add that the @HBAR_foundation made representations about transparency when it was set up which they have not followed. There are a lot of problems but when they refuse transparency they enter a very unsavory group. What is there to hide? . 1 Foundation directors should.

This is the power of the cloud oligopolies. @fluence_project is building a cloudless future of open compute where you can’t be kicked off.

my recent OpEd on why crypto needed to back Trump and the changes we are already seeing. @fluence_project was debanked, I was debanked and other founders suffered far more with severe threats from the SEC. on Jan 20th, we move from being relentlessly attacked to being.

Record volume for @thorchain #rune is geared for serious catch up.
Yesterday was an all-time high for @THORChain in volume; we'll see many more in the near future with the $BTC ETF being approved. January will likely make a monthly all-time high. Just a matter of time before we see the next leg up for $RUNE to double digits.

Nice to see this #hedera recognition. Much of crypto still see an institutional focus as a 'niche'. While this was true in the beginning, it was the same for the internet, gaming. etc. etc. I can't think of any market where that remained the case.

@RaoulGMI HBAR. Hedera is the most suited for institutional adoption. Fast, secure and with pricing fixed in fiat and Governance by corporates (google. IBM, Boeing, Nomura etc). It’s the best way to participate in the institutional wave of DLT adoption. Already 1.5mm+ tx a day. 2nd most.

Nice to see #hbar making moves in the stats.
@xXtra_rice @Zepzi @hbar_to_moon Honestly, when we do these reports every quarter, there's always one or two that catch us off guard with some stats that really stick out when we're putting them together that we can't wait to present to the public. $HBAR was the one for us this quarter. Massive jumps everywhere.

@TheDeFinvestor @hedera is superior - it’s not leader based like so many so has the highest security ABFT. And it has buy in and use from the worlds leading enterprises. @google @ibm @dlapiper and so many more. It’s the most used DLT and just getting started.

Is Hedera "centralized"?. Hedera consists of 39 companies each with one vote (2.56%) and diversified by geography, sector, and time. 1/3rd are replaced every year. If this is centralized, then lets discuss protocols where the largest vote or influence is less than 2.56%.

Any central bank digital currency will need to be on a private, centralized network because no public ledger has enough value to protect against the profits to be made from attacking large sovereign currencies. What a hacking target! Private/public hybrid like HCS is the answer!.
