$HBAR is gradually going beyond the scope of the story about ordinary blockchain payments.

WISeKey has joined the Strategic Partner Hedera Council network—and what interested me here is not the partnership itself, but the direction.

Digital identity, IoT, and protection against quantum attacks are coming together around Hedera’s infrastructure.

A machine-transaction use case is especially important, where devices will be able to securely interact with each other without constant human involvement.

It seems that $HBAR want to use it not only where blockchain works today, but also where its role may be needed in a few years.
