GBBC and Hedera: why their strategic alliance matters
In December 2025, the Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC) became the first Strategic Partner of the Hedera Council, marking a significant step in the institutional strategy of the Hedera network. Although it is not a voting member in governance, this membership has important implications for the global adoption and positioning of Hedera.
The GBBC is an international non-profit organization that brings together companies, governments, regulators, and blockchain sector experts in over 120 countries. Its mission is to promote responsible adoption of technology through the development of standards, regulatory frameworks, and public-private dialogue. In practice, it acts as a bridge between technological innovation and institutions.
The entry of the GBBC as a Strategic Partner strengthens Hedera on three key fronts: institutional credibility, regulatory influence, and alignment with global standards. Thanks to the network and expertise of the GBBC, Hedera gains visibility in international forums, improves its engagement with regulators, and positions itself better for business and government use cases, where regulatory compliance is essential.
In summary, although the GBBC does not participate directly in the technical decision-making of the Hedera Council, its strategic role strengthens the ecosystem, accelerates institutional adoption, and consolidates Hedera as a blockchain infrastructure oriented towards the real world and the long term.
