HBAR, Hedera's token, shows a more than 35% price increase over the past week and attracts attention for its possible role in a partnership with the US government.
Reasons for US Government Choosing Hedera
Hedera is governed by large corporations such as Google, IBM, Boeing, and Deutsche Telekom, which adds unique credibility when approached by government agencies. Its Hashgraph consensus mechanism offers high speed and security suitable for identity verification, secure communications, and financial applications.
Additionally, there are whispers in the community about Hedera's potential involvement in pilot programs and digital identity tests, enhancing its chances of successful collaboration with the government.
Price Prediction: What a Contract Could Mean?
If Hedera were to secure a government contract, HBAR could see a notable price increase. Possible price levels in this scenario may be as follows:
* $0.40–$0.50 — a likely initial response. * $0.65–$0.75 — if institutions get involved as news spreads widely. * $1.00+ — if it's a major, multi-year deal with positive adoption metrics.
What are the Odds of Securing a Contract?
While a full-scale federal contract might be a long shot, pilot programs or state-level contracts are increasingly possible. A rough estimate of the odds looks like this:
* 25% — pilot testing or digital identity projects. * 15% — state or city-level blockchain integration (e.g., DMV systems, voting, logistics). * 5% — full federal government contract for enterprise operations.
HBAR is already witnessing growth, and if rumors about US government interest materialize, we could see significant price increases in the coming weeks.
