Hedera has integrated its Dropp micropayment solution into the Federal Reserve's FedNow system, marking one of the few blockchain implementations within this federal payment infrastructure. FedNow allows for instant payment settlements 24/7, significantly reducing transaction times compared to traditional banking systems.
