Insights

Blockchain & Identity Strategist

HUB announces a Q1 2026 rollout of HUB Token and Trvsthub™ to embed self‑sovereign identity into payments and compliance workflows.

HUB plans to mint a utility token, HUBT, to operate the Trvsthub™ platform and link the Company’s AI‑native Secured Data Fabric (SDF) to blockchain rails. The announcement quantifies target markets—the digital identity market ($47 billion addressable, cited), the stablecoin market ($282 billion), crypto payment gateways ($1.7 billion), and remittances ($913 billion)—and sets a public launch window of Q1 2026.

The core business mechanism is to use self‑sovereign identity (SSI) and verifiable credentials to convert repeated KYC/AML effort into reusable, on‑chain proofs. The firm cites potential operational levers: 80% KYC cost reduction, shortening verifications from days to seconds, and addressing stated fees of up to 7% in remittances. The roadmap emphasises interoperability (Ethereum, Polygon), ZK‑rollups for privacy, and quantum‑resilient cryptography as technical pillars.

Key dependencies and risks are explicit in the text: successful technical integration of SDF with blockchain and ZK‑rollups, uptake of W3C verifiable credentials across counterparties, and regulatory acceptance of SSI‑based KYC in payments and remittances. The claim set includes concrete cost and market figures but does not provide validation, revenue models, or partner commitments within the release.

Watch for deliverables and timelines: the announced token/platform launch in Q1 2026, any published open‑source code, attestations of interoperability with listed chains, and formal regulatory/KYC approvals or partnerships supporting one‑time reusable KYC. Near‑term (months): proof‑of‑concept, open‑source repo, or pilot partners; medium term (within a year of launch): measurable onboarding time reductions or compliance cost data if disclosed.

Platform Targets $1.2 Trillion in Digital Financial Transactions by Enabling Seamless, Compliant Value Transfer

TEL AVIV, Israel, Nov. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HUB Cyber Security Ltd. (Nasdaq: HUBC) (“HUB” or the “Company”), a global leader in confidential computing and advanced cybersecurity solutions, today announced its strategic roadmap to launch the HUB Token (“HUBT”), a next generation utility token designed to power the Company’s Trvsthub™ platform during the first quarter of 2026. This initiative is a key component of HUB’s broader strategy to monetize its AI-native Secured Data Fabric (SDF) through blockchain integration, enabling a secure, self-sovereign identity framework that supports frictionless data and financial transactions.

With this roadmap, HUB will integrate its AI-native Secured Data Fabric (SDF) with blockchain technology to target the $47 billion global digital identity solutions market, projected to reach over $200 billion by 2034, as well as the $282 billion stablecoin market, the $1.7 billion crypto payment gateways sector, and the $913 billion global remittances industry.

At its core, HUBT is designed to enable users to leverage self-sovereign identity (SSI) as a foundational layer for verifiable, user-controlled digital identities, that transforms compliance-heavy processes into value-generating assets. This decentralized approach aims to resolve the financial services “compliance challenge” of rising costs, fraud vulnerabilities, and user friction, particularly in stablecoin settlements, crypto payments, and cross-border remittances, where traditional KYC/AML requirements can currently add days to transactions and inflate fees by up to 7%.

Envisioned SSI Utility for Frictionless Financial Flows. We believe centralized identity systems create bottlenecks that stifle innovation in digital finance. We also believe that financial institutions face:

• Escalating Compliance Costs: KYC/AML verification can cost up to $30 million annually per institution, with individual reviews hitting $3,000 – exacerbated in volatile markets like crypto, where repeated checks are needed for every transaction.

• Rampant Fraud Risks: Cybercrime is forecasted to exceed $10.5 trillion globally by 2025, with 79% of organizations reporting payments fraud in 2024, including exploits in unverified stablecoin transfers and remittance chains.

• User Abandonment: Lengthy onboarding processes lead to high drop-off rates, costing billions in lost revenue amid the shift to instant digital payments.

Trvsthub™, powered by HUBT, will decentralize identity management, turning these pain points into opportunities for efficiency and trust. We intend for users to control their data via secure digital wallets, enabling “verify once, reuse everywhere” mechanics that integrate seamlessly with blockchain protocols for low-friction value transfers.

Trvsthub™ Roadmap: SSI as the Backbone for Secure, Instant Transactions. Trvsthub™ will be an open-source, blockchain-anchored SSI platform that will equip users and enterprises with quantum-resilient tools for identity verification without compromising privacy:

• Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) Core: Individuals will store and manage credentials in personal wallets, eliminating centralized vulnerabilities and enabling portable proof-of-identity across ecosystems.

• Blockchain Anchored Privacy: Zero-knowledge rollups (ZK-rollups) will allow credential verification without revealing underlying data, ideal for compliant stablecoin issuance and crypto wallet linkages.

• Verifiable Credentials (VCs): W3C-standard VCs will support instant, interoperable sharing—compatible with Ethereum, Polygon, and other chains—for “one-time” KYC that persists across services.

• Interoperable Framework: Designed for global standards, ensuring seamless integration with DeFi protocols, payment rails, and remittance networks.

We believe this three-pillar value proposition will directly enhance SSI utility in targeted use cases once launched:

1. Quantum-Resilient Security: Cryptographic VCs and decentralized ledgers will mitigate fraud in high-volume crypto environments, where SSI-linked wallets can authenticate transactions in real-time.
2. Instant Onboarding: Will reduce multi-day verifications to seconds, slashing abandonment in mobile-first crypto payments and remittances.
3. Dramatic Cost Savings: Will automate compliance, cutting KYC expenses by up to 80% - critical for scaling in the $913 billion remittances market, where fees often erode 6-7% of transfer value.
   

“HUBT and Trvsthub™ mark the next leap in HUB's evolution,” said Noah Hershcoviz, CEO of HUB Cyber Security. “Our strategy is robust and execution-focused, combining military-grade cybersecurity, AI, and blockchain innovation.”
