DOT patent highlights Hedera in road-charge plans, HBAR price targets emerge

A US DOT patent mentions Hashgraph settlement and Hedera Consensus Service as potential components for a digital toll collection system, signaling institutional interest in Hedera-tech for mobility payments. The article stresses this is not a confirmed DOT rollout or HBAR usage, just technical references. Market talk suggests HBAR could retest $0.60 and possibly reach $1-$2 long-term, contingent on broader tokenization and regulation trends. Investors should distinguish potential from actual implementation while monitoring any formal government adoption updates.
