HBAR The Hedera Council Members WAKING UP?! | QNT Hidden Perspective!

Indexed: 2026-05-20

[00:00:00]What is up, guys? We're back with another episode. In this episode, we're going to be looking at how HBAR and QNT are progressing and how banks are moving forward and the rules need to keep up.

[00:00:14]Look at this. This is Nilmini Rubin of Hedera who tells Remi Blair stablecoin and tokenization legislation is essential so new innovators and traditional financial players know how to operate together. Basically, we need consistency and clarity amongst rules.

[00:00:32]Now guys, my take on this is simple. The rules are taking uh too long in my opinion. There is a lot of red tapeism.

[00:00:41]We need uh we need to get our acts together fast because these projects, the technologies, they are ready. Uh be it HBAR, XRP, QNT, you name it. They are ready. But we need a a true change in in in the world of finance and it needs to happen fast with good, clear regulations. For our viewers out there who are trying to understand this new compromise on stablecoins, why is the bank saying these stablecoin as well as tokenization provisions so essential for the future of real-world financial infra as well as institutional adoption?

[00:01:20]What we're seeing is the integration of digital assets and crypto with the traditional financial infrastructure.

[00:01:30]And so getting these rules right, consistent across um the crypto and and the the financial industry is really important for moving forward. What we're we're seeing many banks moving into crypto and they we need consistency and clarity amongst the rules so the new innovators as well as the people who are in the financial space all know how they can operate and how they can operate together.

[00:01:59]Guys, HBAR is progressing really fast.

[00:02:02]Look at this. Hedera integrates AI agent kit with Google. Often times people ask that yeah, Google is in the governing council, but it isn't doing much with HBAR, with Hedera. Uh slowly and gradually, I was talking about it that uh be it Google, be it other governing council members, they will have something to do with Hedera in a in-depth and in an in an integrated manner. And that slowly is happening.

[00:02:30]Hedera's AI agent kit now supports Google's ADK and Gemini models, meaning developers can build Hedera-powered AI agents directly within Google's ecosystem. Talking about uh integration, these are some live examples, guys. The ADK example lives under examples ADK and can be launched either through a custom CLI runner or directly with the native ADK tooling using NPX ADK run agent.ts.

[00:03:00]So, you can check out how the developers know how to do it. Developers simply configure their Hedera credentials and Gemini API key. This is awesome.

[00:03:09]Meanwhile, look at this. The Reserve Bank of Australia dropped their final report on CBDC Project Acacia. What are the key highlights, guys? HBAR being utilized in four total payment use cases. Ripple's XRP being used by Zero Hash for government bonds. Redbelly used for bond exchange. Ripple R L USD highlighted in stable coins. The results of Project Acacia will be one to watch with the CBDC space moving forward, guys. So, from the looks of it, Project Acacia is exploring the role of digital money in wholesale tokenized asset markets. You can check this out, the project Acacia use case landscape growing as we're speaking. The use cases explored tokenization across a range of asset classes, including government and corporate bonds, managed investment schemes, private credit, asset-backed securities, repos, structured products, carbon credits, mining royalties, and various types of tokenized receivables.

[00:04:19]So, this is awesome, guys. The forms of money used in the settlement of the tokenized asset transactions included stablecoins, commercial bank deposit tokens, pilot WCBDC, and new applications of ESA balances at the RBA, guys.

[00:04:36]This is huge. The real-world finance is getting supercharged by on Hedera and by Hedera.

[00:04:45]Key credit is deploying KeyFi AI to instantly score SME credit and power tokenized lending walls, tackling the massive Now, look at this.

[00:04:55]First, we talked about billions, and now we're talking about trillions. In the future, we might even talk about quadrillions being settled on chain. 5.7 trillion global credit gap with fast non-custodial on-chain solutions built on Hedera token service, smart contracts, and native USDC for seamless settlement. This is awesome.

[00:05:19]Look at this. Watch the Reserve Bank of Australia on how project with HBAR and XRP has given them a taste for tokenization.

[00:05:30]The bank, in partnership with the digital finance CEA, said he published the findings of project Acacia. This was our experimental research initiative into how the tokenization of assets and money could help uplift the functioning of Australia's wholesale financial markets.

[00:05:43]I want to share the key messages from on work, which also benefited from the active engagement of industry alongside APRA, ASIC, and the Treasury.

[00:05:51]What Project Acacia showed us was that there is significant growing industry interest in tokenization.

[00:05:56]What really got the attention of industry and regulators was the potential for tokenized markets to make issuance, trading, and settlement more efficient, uh to enhance the ability of assets to move around our financial system, uh potential improvements for issuers and uh investors to access liquidity, and to enjoy reductions in settlement risk. At the same time, the project also identified uh some areas where further work by industry and regulators is required, including in addressing some of the challenges to scaling tokenized asset markets and new forms of money.

[00:06:24]Extending and expanding the engagement between industry and the public sector is going to be critical to unleashing greater dynamism and resilience in Australia's financial economy. That was really a key learning from Acacia.

[00:06:35]What we're striving for here is to ensure that our wholesale financial markets remain efficient, resilient, Look at the key words over here, guys.

[00:06:43]Wholesale financial markets remain number one, efficient, resilient number two, and attractive to issuers and investors far into the future. So, this is what HBAR is trying to do.

[00:06:57]and attractive to issuers and investors far into the future.

[00:07:00]And so, to that end, the Reserve Bank, the Digital Finance CRC, and our partner Council of Financial Regulator Agencies will build on the momentum generated by Project Acacia by embarking on a new suite of initiatives. The focus will be on addressing some of the coordination challenges that have stymied innovation in the past, and to explore better pathways for industry to safely experiment and then scale new innovations in tokenized finance. We view these as important steps toward ensuring Australia's financial system is fit for the future. And we'd like to thank all our industry partners in Project Acacia for being part of the journey.

[00:07:35]Hedera will go global, guys. And uh this journey is going to be unique. Be it Australia, be it other regions. Look at this, Australia's project Acacia future roadmap looks very interesting.

[00:07:47]Future work program, regulatory work stream, interagency regulator working group, exploration of a digital financial market infrastructure sandbox.

[00:07:57]The RBA, ACIC, and DFCRC will explore ways to provide a safe environment for industry to progress tokenization initiatives.

[00:08:07]Tokenized government bond initiative, C-suite round table on the future of tokenized finance in Australia, initiate executive engagement to ensure key opportunities and challenges associated with uplifting the functioning of wholesale markets in Australia. So, you can see how project Acacia is progressing. The IAG from project Acacia will be reconstituted and expanded. And act as a dedicated advisory forum and coordination body for industry priorities on tokenization.

[00:08:44]Huge, guys.

[00:08:45]Uh now, talking about the council members, fud. The fud for HBAR back then was that none of the council members used Hedera itself. This is what I was talking about. That narrative has been flipped 180°. The five most recent council members today, Accenture, invested in MTech and user of EQTY, McLaren minting NFT collectibles on Hedera, Fedex using Hedera for digital supply chain. Repsol testing digital IDs on Hedera for energy. Then we've got the blockchain for energy, B4E carbon relies on HCS. So, from the looks of it, the narrative that none of the council members used Hedera itself is changing.

[00:09:31]And now we're seeing Google as well being involved. We're seeing other council members being involved as well.

[00:09:37]So, this is awesome. Meanwhile, a small video over here uh by Generation Infinity's King Solomon, "The world has no clue what is about to happen. HBAR powering Australia." Now, let's check this out. Markets. The Reserve Bank of Australia, so this is the central bank of Australia. The members within this are Reserve Bank of Australia, Australia's financial regulators, the Treasury of Australia, uh major institutional financial firms kind of across the board. The goal was to test whether tokenized assets and tokenized money can modernize wholesale financial markets, not retail crypto bro type hype, but actual financial infrastructure that includes bonds, payments, settlements, liquidity, and capital markets.

[00:10:25]20 institutional use cases were tested.

[00:10:32]Across government bonds, corporate bonds, repo markets, tokenized funds, stable coins, tokenized bank deposits, wholesale central bank digital currency settlement. The Reserve Bank of Australia concluded in this final report that tokenization can improve settlement speed, liquidity access, collateral efficiency, operational automation, and settlement risk reduction.

[00:10:57]The report also says major parts of wholesale finance today still rely on phone calls, emails, manual reconciliation, and fragmented infrastructure.

[00:11:07]So, bottom line here, the writing is on the wall as we continue to say on this channel. Now, here's where Hedera Hedera stands out.

[00:11:15]The pilots were conducted across, as I mentioned, Ethereum, Hedera, Ripple, Redbelly, uh other institutional ledger systems, but the report specifically states Hedera was used in both public and private environments, not just proof of concepts, but literal pilots with live central bank notes.

[00:11:35]That matters because a lot of these central bank Guys, we can see the use case of HBAR growing as we're speaking.

[00:11:43]Another project making progress, guys, and in utter silence is Quant Network, QNT. Look at this, an interesting thread by Mind Crypto. Fidelity International just launched FILQ, their first fully tokenized fund to settle in sterling with UK institutions.

[00:12:03]They'll need a proper digital cash leg.

[00:12:06]So, check this out. Fidelity International issues tokenized MMF partnering system.

[00:12:12]Let's check this out. UK Finance chose Quant Network as the sole provider for GBTD, the UK's live tokenized sterling deposits pilot. Any firm needing proper sterling settlement for digital assets will go through these rails. Fidelity manages 34.5 billion dollars in MMFs and is already tokenizing. UK digital guilds use the same settlement layer. This is infrastructure gravity, not hype.

[00:12:43]Mid-2026 GBTD completion is the date.

[00:12:48]So, this is awesome. Meanwhile, look at this. Francesco says that what if I told you that there is a new member of the QNT team ahead of product development with 7 years experience at Fidelity. So, some subliminal messages going around over here in the QNT community, guys.

[00:13:09]Write me in DM and I will send you. That privilege is only available for the blue ticks, I'm afraid. I have opened up my DMs just now, though. Done. I wrote you.

[00:13:18]So, let's see who this person is and is this bluffing? Is Francesco bluffing or is there really someone from the Fidelity team which who's a new member of the Q&T team. I mean this is huge.

[00:13:33]Quant just highlighted one of the biggest hidden problems in hospitality finance and their solution to an age-old problem guys. So, look at this. Their solution to fragmented payments, slow reconciliation, and zero real-time cash visibility is automated programmable finance rails.

[00:13:55]This is all awesome guys. Why hospitality finance breaks before the portfolio does.

[00:14:02]QNT will eventually be a top 10 project.

[00:14:05]Hopefully guys, hopefully in the future.

[00:14:08]Uh look at this. We see two tech giants citing Quant's newest patent, Lenovo and Huawei. I mean this is huge. Both technological technological giants in their own respective ways. Both these solutions will require agnostic standardized interoperability into DLT which Quant Network provides.

[00:14:31]Meanwhile, QNT raw data 5.6% on the day, 12.57% on the week, price $82, market cap just under $1 billion at the time of the recording. It might change. Exchange outflow MA 7 is up 45.6% QNT leaving centralized exchanges at above average pace for a 7-day week, not a 1-day blip. So, all in all the week's moving averages are still bearish. This could be a relief rally, not a reversal.

[00:15:04]Supply is 99.5% in circulation. So, no inflation risk. The fundamentals are extremely solid. BIS, HSBC pilots, you name it. Overledger future future fusion remains solid. Accumulation is building quietly guys.

[00:15:22]This is awesome.

[00:15:24]Uh the the QNT for doubters, look at this. We analyze the statement of financial position, profitability inference, liquidity and solvency, asset and liability composition highlights, accounting policies, the overall assessment. We're interesting in it's interested in this. Very healthy financial position, generated strong cash flow and profitability, robust liquidity, significant reduction in lease obligations, a massive swing in retained earnings that signals operational success likely driven by Our Ledger blockchain software, a clean low debt structure, still reliant on the subscription deferred revenue model, intangible crypto holdings are minimal so the business is not exposed to crypto price volatility. As a small company filing, we like gross margin or operation operating expense detail, but the equity growth speaks for itself. So, guys, what do you think about uh HBAR and QNT uh solving biggest hidden problems in the world of finance? I would really like your opinions. Do let the community know.
