Hedera set September 24 for its next mainnet release, v0.65. The rollout follows a successful testnet upgrade on September 4. The release highlights include Virtual Mega Map, enforcement of HIP-991’s max_custom_fees for scheduled transactions, and Block Stream improvements aimed at unifying records and future-proofing state management.
HIP-991, detailed by the foundation earlier this year, extends the Consensus Service with permissionless, revenue-generating topic IDs. It adds monetization and fee-control features that developers can apply to high-volume messaging. The v0.65 enforcement note signals those fee limits will apply within scheduled transactions after the upgrade.
Hedera’s roadmap also situates Block Streams and Block Nodes as part of a broader scalability track. The initial Block Node capability centers on receiving and serving block streams through an API, laying groundwork for future sharding and higher throughput.
Hackathon finale lands today
Hedera’s “Hello Future: Origins” hackathon holds its closing celebration today, September 15, capping the first leg of a three-event series that advertises a combined prize pool of $550,000 across Origins, Ascension, and Apex. The winners announcement and event wrap confirm the schedule.
Organizers positioned Origins as the entry build phase, with Ascension and Apex slated to follow through the rest of 2025. The program materials emphasize MVP building on Hedera’s stack and community participation around the trilogy format.
Hedera’s social channels amplified the timetable and the closing-celebration call to join, aligning the community push with today’s wrap-up.
Wyoming’s state stablecoin adds Hedera
The Wyoming Stable Token Commission selected Hedera as an additional network for FRNT, the first U.S. state-issued payment stable token created under the 2023 law. Announcements on September 4 framed Hedera’s inclusion as part of the Commission’s multi-chain approach.
Coverage noted that, as of the September 4 update, users still could not purchase FRNT despite prior expectations after the August launch on other chains. Officials said public purchasing details would follow.
Industry press added that Hedera was the only additional blockchain added after the Commission’s second-quarter evaluation, underscoring a staged expansion of supported networks.
Tokenized U.S. equities go live via Swarm on Hedera
Swarm and the Hedera Foundation announced tokenized, insolvency-protected stocks such as Apple, Tesla, and MicroStrategy on Hedera in mid-August. The model offers 1:1-backed, on-chain access structured under EU Prospectus Regulation and marketed as accessible to retail and institutions.
Trade press and explainers described the instruments as DeFi-compatible and available around the clock, with redemption mechanics tied to underlying shares. The rollout positions Hedera inside the growing real-world-asset segment.
Community outlets tracked the partnership’s launch cadence and emphasized compliance rails as a differentiator for distribution.
Hedera lists itself as a sponsor of “Sideblock On The Hill,” a Korea Blockchain Week side event in Seoul on September 23–24. Event pages show Hedera among hosts and partners for the two-day networking program near the main venue.
The sponsorship aligns with a packed KBW schedule across September 22–28. Organizers bill the week as a regional hub for Web3 policy, tokenization, and developer meetups.
HBAR prints a bullish flag on September 15, 2025
HBAR/USD formed a bullish flag on the daily chart on September 15, 2025. A bullish flag is a pattern where price surges in a strong move called the pole, then drifts lower inside parallel lines in a brief pause before continuation.
The chart shows a steep rally in July that created the pole, followed by a downward sloping channel through August and early September. Price now tests the flag’s upper boundary while trading just above the 50 day exponential moving average near 0.2328, which adds support. Volume contracted during the consolidation, which fits the flag structure.
If buyers close the day above the flag’s upper trendline, the breakout confirms. On confirmation, the measured move implies about 102 percent upside from the current level near 0.2337 to roughly 0.472. That target aligns with the horizontal objective drawn on the chart and matches the pole based projection.
Momentum improved into mid September as candles shifted from the channel’s lower band to the upper band. As long as price holds above the mid channel and the 50 day average, the setup remains constructive. A clean close outside the channel with rising volume would validate the continuation scenario toward the 0.47 zone.
HBAR RSI signals a neutral-to-bullish shift on September 15, 2025
HBAR’s 14-day RSI sits around 49 while its signal line hovers near 48. Price momentum reclaimed the RSI moving average after the early-September trough and now holds the mid-band between 30 and 70. That placement marks neutrality with a slight bullish lean and sets a clean pivot around the 50 line.
The indicator shows a higher low in early September compared with late August, while price tested the flag’s lower rail. This subtle bullish divergence suggests selling pressure faded into the month’s turn. As momentum turned up, RSI crossed back over its average, which often precedes follow-through when price tests resistance.
Context matters. RSI ran above 70 in late July and early August during the pole advance, then cooled into the flag. Today’s mid-zone reading shows momentum rebuilding rather than overheating. A steady push and daily close with RSI above 55 would confirm strength behind a breakout attempt, whereas a slip back under 45 would warn that consolidation is not finished.
Taken together, RSI supports the bullish flag case from the price chart but does not confirm it yet. Maintain focus on whether RSI can hold above its average and transition into the 55–60 zone; that shift would align momentum with the measured-move objective toward the 0.47 area if price breaks out.
