- “Gold Paper” proposes HBAR as quantum-resistant collateral to secure U.S. dollar against offshore stablecoin threats.
- Initiatives include “HBAR in American Homes” for citizen-driven accumulation and Fed’s HRLF for HBAR-denominated loans.
- Document, dated Sept. 4, 2025, appears as submitted comment, not official SEC policy, sparking community speculation.
In a bold move that’s stirring the crypto community, a document dubbed the “Gold Paper” has surfaced on the SEC’s website, proposing Hedera’s HBAR as a strategic, dollar-backed asset to bolster U.S. national security.
The paper—titled “Making America Greater with Post-Blockchain Collateral: HBAR as a Pro-Dollar Asset”—outlines a visionary strategy to counter threats from offshore stablecoins and integrate blockchain tech into federal monetary systems.
The proposal comes amid growing concerns over digital assets eroding the dollar’s dominance. It highlights risks from tokens like Justin Sun’s USDD, which allegedly divert capital from U.S. Treasuries, potentially destabilizing the global reserve currency. To combat this, the paper advocates for U.S.-controlled, auditable collateral frameworks using “post-blockchain” tech—specifically HBAR’s energy-efficient, quantum-resistant Hedera network.
Key to the plan is the “HBAR in American Homes” initiative, encouraging households to accumulate HBAR as a “pro-dollar collateral layer.” Each wallet would symbolize a “vote of strength” for monetary security, decentralizing ownership and preventing foreign hoarding. Complementing this is the proposed Federal Reserve HBAR Reserve & Lending Facility (HRLF), where the Fed would custody HBAR and issue loans in the token—for infrastructure, housing, and innovation. Loans could be structured simply, like borrowing 100,000 HBAR with 120,000 repayment, leveraging HBAR’s deterministic fees and ABFT consensus for seamless integration into government rails.
Why HBAR? The document praises its low-energy ABFT consensus for handling billions of secure transactions, deterministic fees ideal for loans and escrow, and quantum-resistant design aligned with “Parcel-19” mathematics—a cryptic 2025 discovery tied to U.S. military crypto roots. This positions HBAR not just as a token, but as a pillar for dollar supremacy in the digital era.However, skepticism abounds. Analysis from AI tool Perplexity suggests it’s not an official SEC release but a user-submitted comment, possibly from “Web 3 Vets,” lacking named authors and formal endorsement.
Shared widely on X by users like Marco Ħ, the paper has ignited debates in Hedera circles, with some hailing it as a game-changer while others dismiss it as hype.
If realized, this could catapult HBAR into mainstream finance, blending DeFi with national policy. Yet, with the dollar’s reserve status at 58% and recent Fed turmoil, including a 1.2% drop in July 2025 amid Powell dismissal rumors, the timing feels prescient—or provocative. As crypto adoption accelerates, watch for official responses; this “Gold Paper” might just be the spark for HBAR’s golden age.
