Hedera Hashgraph’s native token, HBAR, is firmly on traders’ watchlists as technical indicators suggest a breakout is imminent.

HBAR’s Volatile Ride and Potential Surge

HBAR has experienced a roller coaster ride in the market, surging nearly 850% between November and January before plunging to $0.04 ahead of Trump’s election victory. However, following his oath, the token skyrocketed to $0.37, cementing its place among the top-performing crypto assets of 2025.

Key Bullish Indicators Fuel Optimism

On the DeFi front, HBAR has witnessed a remarkable surge in Total Value Locked (TVL), climbing to $121.7 million—a 132% increase on SaucerSwap alone. Additionally, the token has facilitated trades worth over $400,000 alongside an impressive $132 million in weekly DEX volume, signaling robust on-chain activity.

HBAR ETF Filing: Unlocking Institutional Demand

Another bullish catalyst for HBAR is the growing anticipation surrounding a spot HBAR ETF. A recent federal filing reveals Nasdaq’s proposal to list Grayscale’s HBAR ETF under Rule 5711(d), categorizing the asset as a “Commodity-Based” investment. This classification could open the doors to institutional investors, with analysts predicting over $40 million in inflows into the Hedera ecosystem.

Beyond the ETF filing, Hedera Hashgraph stands out as the only blockchain project registered with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Unlike many other altcoins, HBAR’s transactions remain consistently low-cost and fair, thanks to its innovative 3.5 consensus mechanism and carbon-neutral framework. Furthermore, with the pending launch of HBAR futures on Coinbase, the ecosystem is poised for increased liquidity and adoption.
