Hedera’s Post

We couldn’t be more excited to announce a new chapter for 2025, as we appoint Charles Adkins as CEO, effective January 1, 2025, and will also be rebranding to Hedera Foundation. This marks a pivotal moment for the Hedera ecosystem, as we strengthen our commitment to the community, #DeFi, and an acceleration of #AI, #tokenization, and #digitalidentity. As former President of Hedera, as well as key roles at Polygon and Aptos, Charles brings deep web3 and leadership experience to the role of CEO, alongside a commitment to strengthen the Hedera ecosystem and community across DeFi, AI, #DIDs, and tokenization. In 2025, #Hedera Foundation will launch several initiatives to make DeFi more accessible, providing secure and straightforward tools for the management of digital assets. These initiatives aim to ensure that every user can engage confidently in the emerging financial landscape across the globe. Alongside this, central to Hedera Foundation’s new strategy, is the development of a transparent on-chain grant management platform, empowering the Hedera community to participate directly in the funding process, whilst aligning transparent project support with community needs and values. This year, the Hedera community and its ecosystem of builders have shown why Hedera is the best-in-class network for enterprise AI, RWAs, and DeFi, and we couldn’t be more excited to help turbocharge this activity in 2025 under Charles’ leadership.
