According to a research report, $IOTA excelled

In removing intermediaries, granting users full control, and encouraging self-sovereign identities.

Reports indicate that its simplicity and openness outperform Hyperledger Indy, while excelling over eIDAS in terms of flexibility and decentralization.

$IOTA received notable praise in a prestigious academic study on digital identity published in 2025. According to the CNF review, researchers from the University of Oslo in Norway led the study titled "Trends in Decentralization in Identity Management: From Federal Identity Management Systems to Self-Sovereign Identity Management Systems."

Focusing on three identity solutions - eIDAS, Hyperledger, and IOTA Identity, the report praised the contributions #IOTA , which include the complete removal of intermediaries, granting users full control, enabling self-sovereign identities, and more.

In summarizing the report, Salima, one of the prominent IOTA enthusiasts, noted that the lightweight architecture $IOTA outperforms Hyperledger Indy in terms of simplicity and openness. It also excels over eIDAS in terms of autonomy, flexibility, and decentralization.

However, there is still a gap. According to the report, #IOTAUSDT still needs improvement in various areas, including the issuer's reputation system and advanced privacy features. At the same time, it is very advanced thanks to its permissionless design.

According to our research, Hyperledger Indy is a special type of blockchain technology, playing a pivotal role in managing digital identities in a secure and decentralized manner. On the other hand, IOTA identity ensures privacy, data availability, and trust, as mentioned in our previous post. According to an official publication on our blog, this identity is designed to empower individuals, institutions, and devices to facilitate seamless and secure interactions without the need for intermediaries.

IOTA's identity is designed for individuals, institutions, and devices, serving as a unified trust layer between everyone and everything. It simplifies the process of identity verification and management by defining three key roles: data holders, issuers, and verifiers.

According to IOTA, the IOTA identity is designed to ensure that data holders have complete control over their data. Thus, they can determine what information they wish to share and with whom.

This is not the first time IOTA has been mentioned in a prestigious report. As we noted in our previous publication, IOTA was ranked among the top 15 companies for data trading by the Chinese market research firm AskCI Consulting.

IOTA Price Analysis

IOTA's price struggles to surpass its monthly peak of $0.21, having recorded another decline of 2.99% over the past 24 hours to trade at $0.15. According to CoinMarketCap data, this has extended its monthly decline to 26.9%, resulting in a market cap drop to $589.9 million at the time of publication.

The asset's performance has been extremely disappointing since the launch of the Rebased protocol, which was expected to drive the price significantly higher. As mentioned in our previous post, Rebased reportedly offers amazing technical features, including a processing capacity of over 50,000 transactions per second and finality in less than a second.

However, developer activity has been low since its launch. According to a report, "#DeFiLlama has only tracked one decentralized application with a total value locked (TVL) of $9.76 million."

However, analyst Alt Crypto Gems believes that IOTA has managed to hold above "a strong support level and high demand over the time frame." Compared to other cryptocurrencies that "have lost their structure," he believes that IOTA still looks promising. As outlined in our latest analysis, the coin is expected to witness a rebound to break the $0.27 level in the near term. #NODEBinanceTGE #USCorePCEMay
