The Hashgraph Group Invests in Blockchain Transformation Firm Settlemint

The Hashgraph Group (HBAR) has invested an undisclosed amount into Settlemint, a blockchain transformation firm for enterprises. 

Settlemint currently hosts 8 blockchain networks, including Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain for enterprises to integrate into their products. 

The Hasgraph Group is a Switzerland-based venture capital, technology company that operates exclusively within the Hedera Hashgraph ecosystem.

An investment from The Hashgraph Group may imply that Hedera’s blockchain will be introduced to Settlemint’s protocol list. Hedera’s inclusion would allow major businesses seeking blockchain integration to choose Hedrea’s network.

One of Settlemint’s recent developments is a supply chain solution for AB InBev, a brewing company that owns some of the largest beer brands in the world including Stellar Artois and Corona. Settlemint has also been working with Sony to create a stablecoin that utilizes the Polygon Network. 

In 2022, following a $16 million Series A investment, Fujitsu entered into a strategic partnership with Settlemint to accelerate the digital transformation of the Fujitsu Enterprise Blockchain and Track and Trust Solutions.

Building on top of the Hedera blockchain, a wide range of products sit under the Group’s belt. One of those products is Enterprise Guardian, a product for improving transparency with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data by helping businesses make efficient, immutable reports and reducing fraud.

Institutional solutions and collaborations on Hedera

Hedera Hashgraph is known in the cryptocurrency market for its institutional collaborations and investments from the likes of IBM, South Korea’s Shinhan Bank, the leading bank in South Korea, the LG Corporation, and EDF Energy, a global energy company. 

In recent months, Hedera has onboarded multiple real-world asset (RWA) ventures that are keen to take advantage of Hedera’s highly scalable blockchain network for tokenization efforts in the real estate industry. 

Hedera has also drawn attention from and onboarded sustainability businesses and collaborated on carbon projects with 1MTN, a carbon removal project based in Africa.
