<h4><strong>Starting this January, <a href="https://x.com/SpaceX" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SpaceX</a> will launch a satellite powered by Hedera Hashgraph’s HBAR cryptocurrency. </strong></h4>
<p>The news, shared today on Swiss national television, marks a huge step forward for both space and blockchain technology.</p>
<h5><strong>Crypto Powered by HBAR Takes Off with SpaceX</strong></h5>
<p>This mission is a collaboration between SpaceX, Hedera, and <a href="https://x.com/WISeKey" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">WISeKey</a>, a Swiss cybersecurity company. The satellite will process cryptocurrency transactions in orbit, paving the way for a future where payments might zip between satellites, redefining how we think about money across Earth—and beyond.</p>
<p>Hedera’s rise to the stars isn’t by chance. Recently, a NASA research paper explored Hedera’s technology, highlighting its potential for secure, fast, and energy-efficient systems. This kind of attention caught the eye of many, including SpaceX.</p>

<p>Just yesterday, Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano and a partner in the <a href="https://x.com/DeRecAlliance" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Decentralized Recovery Alliance (DeRec)</a>, visited SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California. His visit seemed to spark even more interest in how blockchain and space exploration could join forces.</p>
<h5><strong>Why It Matters</strong></h5>
<p>So, what’s the big deal about sending HBAR to space? For starters, it’s not just about showing off cool technology. This satellite will explore how cryptocurrency can work in space environments, a critical step toward building payment systems for future space industries and even Mars colonies.</p>
<p>Think about it: someday, humans might live on Mars or in orbiting space stations. How will they pay for goods and services? Cash and credit cards won’t cut it. A satellite-based system could make transactions seamless, ensuring commerce continues smoothly across the stars.</p>

<p>This mission isn’t just a win for <a href="https://x.com/Hedera" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Hedera</a>—it’s a game-changer for blockchain technology as a whole. If successful, it could open doors for other projects to follow suit. Just as the first moon landing inspired a generation, sending HBAR to space might light the way for future breakthroughs in how we think about money and technology.</p>
