State Street Global Advisors Europe Limited & BlackRock, two heavyweight names in the financial industry, have chosen to deploy multiple money market funds (MMFs) on Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR). This was disclosed in the latest research by SMQKE, a DLT-focused blockchain researcher mostly known for tracing bank integration links.
ISO 20022 Compliance Boosts HBAR Growth
For the European part of the deal, State Street Global Advisors deployed funds in USD, GBP & EUR, totalling 6 money-market funds on HBAR’s Network. This is done via Archax, a crypto custodian also operating as an institutional crypto brokerage for BlackRock. The American digital-asset manager applied a similar strategy to the State Street Global Advisors.
Activating 6 new MMFs in three different fiat currencies on Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR), this confirms HBAR as an institutional-safe asset. This particular Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) based altcoin falls under the category of ISO 20022 compliant tokens, similarly to XRP & Stellar Lumens (XLM). With the new gold standard going live by SWIFT, this boosts adoption.
ETF Showdown Displays HBAR In The Middle
Ultimately, this implies a critical liquidity shift towards digital assets that are compliant with the legislation. This institutional validation enables HBAR to survive crypto winters, enlarging exposure towards highly-established payment services & firms. The altcoin was among the first ones to receive a standalone exchange-traded fund (ETF) after Ripple (XRP) hit the markets.
In nearly five months of trading, Canary Capital’s HBAR ETF on NASDAQ has pulled in $91.88 million, according to SoSoValue. This figure hardly matches with Solana’s (SOL) $932.12 million or Ripple’s (XRP) $1.24 billion during the same window.
On the other hand, HBAR stands out from the rest of the ETF-approved altcoin crowd, gaining way more traction than Litecoin (LTC) Dogecoin (DOGE) or Avalanche (AVAX). The only one that comes close is Chainlink (LINK), standing at $85.37 million with two LINK ETFs rolling at the moment on traditional New York Stock Exchange markets.
