In a significant development, FedNow, the instant payment solution backed by the Federal Reserve, announced its incorporation of Dropp, a payment service built on Hedera's decentralized ledger platform.

Dropp revolutionizes small payments, offering a secure and cost-effective alternative to credit cards and traditional banking services. Operating on hashgraph technology, Hedera sets itself apart from conventional blockchains.

Hedera's Reach Widens with FedNow's Inclusion

One of Dropp's key advantages lies in its accessibility. The FedNow Service caters to financial institutions of all sizes across the United States. This inclusive approach not only broadens Dropp's user base but also solidifies Hedera's reputation as an efficient blockchain alternative.

In a bid to dominate the stablecoin market, Hedera (HBAR) Hashgraph integrates Stablecoin Studio, empowering enterprises with a suite of tools to develop stablecoin applications. This includes oracle-based proof-of-reserves functionality, KYC/AML compliance tools, and custody provider integration.

Hedera's lightning-fast transaction speeds, exceeding 10,000 TPS, coupled with lower costs, provide developers with an unparalleled platform.

Utilising Hedera Network for Stablecoin Studio

Hedera Hashgraph aspires to be a market leader in stablecoin technology. The developers stated in a statement that they have incorporated Stablecoin Studio into Hedera, giving organisations a comprehensive suite of solutions for developing stablecoin apps.

The integration of Dropp and Stablecoin Studio catapulted HBAR prices to new heights. This surge triggered a remarkable 77% increase in open interest within the futures market, amounting to a staggering $30 million. Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange, led the charge with $14 million in interest, followed closely by Bybit, BingX, and Bitget.
