FedEx has joined the governing council of Hedera, a public distributed ledger network that positions itself as a neutral enterprise-grade trust layer. This development has drawn attention to HBAR, Hedera’s native token, especially as it trades around $0.08. Crypto commentator Rip The Bull has suggested that increasing participation from multinational corporations signals the network’s growing potential.
Major companies strengthen Hedera governance
FedEx, one of the world’s largest logistics companies, now operates a node on the Hedera network and holds an equal vote on the council alongside technology giants including Google, IBM, and Dell. The council system provides decentralized governance, with each member overseeing network decisions and performance. FedEx’s chief digital officer has referred to the platform as a “neutral enterprise grade trust layer.”
The Hedera governing council can include up to 39 organizations from diverse industries. Notable participants since 2019 include Boeing and, more recently, energy provider Repsol. While these institutions have a stake in shaping the network, the extent of their actual usage of Hedera’s services remains unclear.
FedEx’s position on Hedera’s council, joined by peers such as Google and IBM, highlights expanding enterprise involvement in decentralized networks, but does not confirm the scale of their network transactions.
Although such partnerships bring credibility, a seat on the council does not necessarily indicate the company’s day-to-day activity or financial transactions on the Hedera platform.
Banking infrastructure and institutional integration
Swiss digital asset infrastructure company Taurus has integrated Hedera’s technology into its services. Taurus now offers more than 40 regulated banks and financial institutions access to custody, token issuance, and smart contract features on the Hedera network.
Rip The Bull notes that Tauras’s clients can now hold and stake HBAR, but clarified that availability does not automatically mean active staking or new assets have been launched by these institutions using Hedera.

The commentator referenced an April 2027 target for an on-chain delivery milestone tied to a United Kingdom wholesale-markets initiative. However, the source material does not specifically mention Hedera, suggesting this date is a broader industry benchmark rather than a confirmed Hedera rollout.

HBAR price analysis and future projections
According to the latest YouTube analysis, HBAR’s price stands near $0.08. The commentary places $0.09 as the level required to reclaim a “200” indicator, referring to a technical metric relevant among traders. The host also identifies a weekly Fibonacci target near $0.80 and predicts a longer-term move to $1, though these outcomes are based solely on market analysis, not on any news from participating corporations.
For investors, the central question remains whether growing enterprise participation will translate to increased network use and rising demand for HBAR. While major institutions are joining the Hedera council and integrating its services, sustained token demand will depend on actual activity and adoption across these networks.
The difference between enterprise participation and network usage will determine whether Hedera’s governance partnerships shift into real demand for HBAR.
