- IOTA Rebased now issues official digital certificates in Taiwan, marking early government-backed adoption.
- Siemens names IOTA in a new patent for NFT-based energy systems, pointing to ongoing industrial interest.
A newly published patent by Siemens refers to IOTA as a possible option in a system designed to manage digital renewable resource certificates. These certificates, tied to the production and consumption of resources like energy, would be tracked using NFTs within a broader framework involving time-based validation and optimized usage.
The method, as described in the patent, outlines a way to link each part of a resource conversion chain. This includes using blockchain-based solutions to manage certificates more effectively. Market observer Wonderer noted the mention of IOTA in the filing and posted, “Siemens still in the game,” signaling ongoing interest from the technology company.

Interestingly, the IOTA network recently transitioned to a new version known as IOTA Rebased. This upgrade introduced minimal transaction fees, which raised some questions about its compatibility with earlier use cases that required a feeless system. One user asked if Siemens would still consider IOTA with this change.
Wonderer replied, “Good question… I would still say that IOTA is in the game,” pointing to continued mentions of the original Tangle in other patents and highlighting that the current protocol still offers low fees, high speed, and scalability. This response suggests that the core features needed for such applications remain present.
Taiwan Issues Government-Recognized Certificates on IOTA
As BTCDaily recently reported, Taiwan has employed IOTA Rebased in issuing Digital Certificates of Registration. These certificates attest to Digital Service Organizations and are now recognized by the Ministry of Digital Affairs. This development may pave the way for entities to access public funding, obtain legal standing, and participate in government-led initiatives, says the commentary.
This can be considered one of the earliest examples of IOTA Rebased used in a formal public-sector context. It presents a real-world use case for technology in administrative processes, thus providing evidence that the infrastructure of IOTA can sufficiently support regulated digital services.
In addition, the community behind IOTA passed a governance proposal titled SGP-0012 for infrastructure support and ecosystem expansion. Passing this proposal through the official governance process of the project allows for the development to be funded through Tangle DAO.
Meanwhile, the voting approval shows a sustained interest from token holders in initiatives that will support the ecosystem on the upside. Apart from strengthening the core infrastructure, this proposal’s intent is to lay a better foundation for projects in the future on the IOTA network.
Price Holds in Narrow Range as Traders Wait
IOTA is currently priced at $0.1919, with a slight drop over the past 24 hours and a 7-day decline of around 3.2%. The price has been moving sideways, between $0.185 and $0.220, with no clear breakout so far.
Technical signals show limited momentum. The MACD indicator shows a weak crossover, while the RSI remains close to 49, suggesting a lack of trend direction. The market appears to be in a wait-and-see mode as broader sentiment stays neutral.
