Canary's spot Hedera ETF (HBR) has seen little activity in October, including a $559K net outflow on October 16. Here is what the flows say about demand for HBAR.
Activity in Canary Capital's spot @Hedera ETF has been subdued this month, raising questions about investor appetite for $HBAR exposure. The Canary HBAR ETF (ticker: HBR) has recorded net flows on only three days in October, and one of them, October 16, was only the product's second day of net outflows since launch, at about -$559K.
Quiet flows after a slow startHBR is not the first time the fund has struggled for traction. It began trading on October 28, 2025.
Demand picked up briefly afterwards.
Recent sessions have been far quieter. Data compiled by SoSoValue and reported by TokenPost shows that Earlier in the week,
What it means for more Hedera ETFsThe weak flow pattern is not new. In August, one report noted that The same report said
That matters for issuers weighing new products. If trading and flows do not improve, it appears unlikely that additional Hedera ETFs will follow. Fund sponsors typically look at sustained inflows and trading volume when deciding whether a new listing is worth the cost, and HBR's recent record offers little encouragement.
For now, HBR remains the main regulated route into HBAR in the US. Whether October's muted activity is a temporary lull or a sign of fading interest will become clearer as the market moves into the final weeks of the year.

FedEx has joined the governing council of Hedera, a public distributed ledger network that positions itself as a neutral enterprise-grade trust layer. This development has drawn attention to HBAR, Hedera’s native token, especially as it trades around $0.08. Crypto commentator Rip The Bull has suggested that increasing participation from multinational corporations signals the network’s growing potential.
Major companies strengthen Hedera governanceFedEx, one of the world’s largest logistics companies, now operates a node on the Hedera network and holds an equal vote on the council alongside technology giants including Google, IBM, and Dell. The council system provides decentralized governance, with each member overseeing network decisions and performance. FedEx’s chief digital officer has referred to the platform as a “neutral enterprise grade trust layer.”
The Hedera governing council can include up to 39 organizations from diverse industries. Notable participants since 2019 include Boeing and, more recently, energy provider Repsol. While these institutions have a stake in shaping the network, the extent of their actual usage of Hedera’s services remains unclear.
FedEx’s position on Hedera’s council, joined by peers such as Google and IBM, highlights expanding enterprise involvement in decentralized networks, but does not confirm the scale of their network transactions.
Although such partnerships bring credibility, a seat on the council does not necessarily indicate the company’s day-to-day activity or financial transactions on the Hedera platform.
Banking infrastructure and institutional integrationSwiss digital asset infrastructure company Taurus has integrated Hedera’s technology into its services. Taurus now offers more than 40 regulated banks and financial institutions access to custody, token issuance, and smart contract features on the Hedera network.
Rip The Bull notes that Tauras’s clients can now hold and stake HBAR, but clarified that availability does not automatically mean active staking or new assets have been launched by these institutions using Hedera.
Mini dictionary: Taurus is a Swiss fintech company specializing in digital asset infrastructure, including custody, tokenization, and blockchain solutions for regulated banks and financial institutions.
The commentator referenced an April 2027 target for an on-chain delivery milestone tied to a United Kingdom wholesale-markets initiative. However, the source material does not specifically mention Hedera, suggesting this date is a broader industry benchmark rather than a confirmed Hedera rollout.

The commentary places $0.09 as the level required to reclaim a “200” indicator, referring to a technical metric relevant among traders. The host also identifies a weekly Fibonacci target near $0.80 and predicts a longer-term move to $1, though these outcomes are based solely on market analysis, not on any news from participating corporations.
For investors, the central question remains whether growing enterprise participation will translate to increased network use and rising demand for HBAR. While major institutions are joining the Hedera council and integrating its services, sustained token demand will depend on actual activity and adoption across these networks.
The difference between enterprise participation and network usage will determine whether Hedera’s governance partnerships shift into real demand for HBAR.
Canary Capital’s exchange-traded fund (ETF), which tracks Hedera (HBAR), has continued its listing on NASDAQ with steady trading activity through a challenging year for the digital asset. Despite HBAR losing 52% of its value over the past twelve months and falling 28% year-to-date, the ETF posted a notable 69% cumulative increase in net inflows for the same period.
Institutional Resilience Amid Market DeclineThis persistent influx signals strong institutional commitment, even as market sentiment around HBAR remains weak. The ETF’s asset base reached $113 million, reflecting consistent demand. However, net flows have recently stagnated, with three consecutive weeks without any new inflows in the last quarter.
Last week saw net outflows of $558,980, attributed to larger investors reducing their positions amid geopolitical uncertainty. This withdrawal follows a period when the ETF was attracting several hundred thousand dollars per week, suggesting that while institutional participants are not broadly exiting, some have scaled back their exposure.
This slow but steady shift points to large investors methodically adjusting allocations in response to prolonged bearish trends, rather than abandoning their positions entirely.
A segment of institutional participants is treating current HBAR price levels as an opportunity, guided by indicators like the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) index. When this metric turns negative, it signals the chance to purchase at what could be considered discounted prices, as earlier investors may have absorbed much of the earlier sell-off.
Mini dictionary: MVRV index — The Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) index measures the ratio between a cryptocurrency’s total market cap and its realized cap. A negative MVRV can indicate that the asset is potentially undervalued, often prompting accumulation by long-term investors.
HBAR Trading Activity and On-Chain DataHedera’s spot trading volume reached $154,901,395 over 24 hours, while derivatives activity was slightly higher at about $180 million for the same period. According to analytics provider SoSoValue, HBAR’s spot market turnover rate stands at 4.45% in that window. Although the long versus short ratio is currently marginally in favor of bullish traders at 1.069, the liquidation data paints a different picture.
Out of $430,500 in liquidated HBAR positions, $422,600 were from long positions, highlighting that short-sellers have recently gained momentum. They appear to be testing support near the $0.08 mark, with HBAR currently trading at $0.079. This price sits below the key SuperTrend resistance value of $0.096 and the $0.086 mid-range Bollinger Band.

The lack of substantial inflows in recent weeks suggests that while conviction in the ETF remains, cautious positioning prevails.
A positive shift in trading activity and whale accumulation may be required if HBAR is to reclaim significant resistance points above $0.08 in the near term.
Hedera [HBAR] approached $0.08 on October 22 as its retreat from its September rally continued. It traded near $0.08057 on the daily chart, down roughly 4% from the day’s opening price at the time of this writing.
That leaves HBAR close to a level that could shape its next move. Holding $0.08 would give buyers room to attempt a recovery, but a sustained break below it could see it go to the $0.075–$0.077 price area.
September’s gains continue to unwind
HBAR briefly climbed above $0.13 in late September, but buyers were unable to make sure that they kept those gains. The daily chart has since formed a series of lower peaks, with rebounds fading before they could reverse the decline.
Looking at the recent trading trends, a similar story can be seen. HBAR was around the $0.083–$0.085 price area for some time before slipping toward the $0.08 area at the time of this writing.
Source: TradingView
It also traded below its four displayed moving averages, and these show that the recovery is not strong yet.
What happens if HBAR loses $0.08?
The immediate test is to see if buyers can keep HBAR around or above the $0.08 price level.
A brief dip below that level would offer less confirmation than a close beneath it followed by an unsuccessful recovery attempt. If it moves that way, it would strengthen the case for further weakness.
If that happens, the $0.075–$0.077 price level becomes an area that the price could find support. HBAR traded around this range a couple of times before its September surge, which makes it a reasonable zone to watch for buying to start again.
However, looking at earlier trading activity does not guarantee that buyers will return.
Buyers face an early hurdle at $0.085
Holding the $0.08 would be a good starting point for it. But buyers would still need to lift HBAR back above the $0.084–$0.085 price area, an area that saw a lot of trading activities.
A sustained recovery through that area could make the $0.087–$0.088 price area an area to look forward to.
But for now, the chart favors caution. HBAR remains near its latest session low, and if it goes up, it would need to hold above the recent levels to suggest that the decline is slowing down.
Final Summary
HBAR approached the $0.08 price area, but a sustained break could take it to the $0.075–$0.077 area.
Buyers need to recover the $0.084–$0.085 price area before the outlook begins to improve.
Hedera’s native token HBAR may see its price slide toward 7.4 to 7.2 cents if it fails to maintain support near the 8 cent mark, according to market analyst Cilinix. In a recent analysis, Cilinix highlighted several factors suggesting the late-September recovery lacks the necessary market momentum and buying pressure to sustain current price levels.
Key support zone coming under pressureThe immediate focus for HBAR is the 8 cent support level. This zone aligns with several technical references, including the point of control for the previous month, a round-number price marker, and the developing yearly value-area low. On a technical basis, this area often acts as a springboard for rebounds.
However, Cilinix noted that trading activity paints a less optimistic picture. The analyst pointed to a declining cumulative volume delta (CVD), which measures the balance of buyer and seller activity. The CVD slipping alongside price suggests sellers are dominating and there is little evidence that buyers are stepping in to absorb the pressure. Funding rates recently turned negative and then positive again, but there was no meaningful price response, a pattern Cilinix described as bearish in the current environment.
“We don’t have any absorption,” Cilinix explained while reviewing HBAR’s trading flows. The lack of clear buying interest, even at established support, reduces the odds of a reversal in the short term, the analyst argued.
If the token can reclaim 8.1 cents following a move around 7.8 cents, and if trading flows and fundamentals improve, HBAR could eventually stabilize and attempt a new upward move. However, Cilinix continues to see this as a less likely scenario for now.
Market concerns and broader risksHedera is an enterprise-grade blockchain platform designed to deliver fast, fair, and secure decentralized applications. Despite its technical foundation, several fundamental metrics have faced headwinds recently. Cilinix reported shrinking total value locked (TVL), falling stablecoin market capitalization, and declining fees.
Broader market trends also appear unfavorable. The analyst referenced factors such as ongoing geopolitical tensions, rising oil prices, heightened volatility, and weakness in equity markets, all contributing to a more cautious outlook for crypto assets like HBAR.
A loss of the 8 cent support area would likely return HBAR to the lower trading range it occupied in August and September, exposing it to further declines. According to Cilinix, if this scenario unfolds, the next major support is expected near 7.4–7.2 cents.
Key LevelStatusImplication8.1 centsPotential reclaim targetCould trigger rebound8 centsImmediate supportCritical for maintaining current range7.8 centsWatch zoneReaction area for next move7.4–7.2 centsLower supportNext zone if breakdown occursCilinix concluded that, in light of weak market flows and ongoing fundamental concerns, the risks of a further decline outweigh immediate upside prospects for Hedera’s HBAR token.

As regulatory efforts regarding cryptocurrencies continue in the US, an organization representing six cryptocurrency projects has launched a joint initiative to clarify the legal status of digital commodities.
Accordingly, Chainlink Labs (link), Hedera (HBAR), Aptos Labs (APT), Ava Labs (AVAX), Stellar Foundation (XLM), and Cardano Foundation (ADA) have requested the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to explicitly state in its regulations the approach to treating digital commodities separately from securities.
Organizations want the SEC to add a direct definition of digital commodities to its proposed regulation of crypto assets, thereby reducing legal uncertainty in the sector.
Let the Definition of Digital Commodities Be Included in Binding Regulations!
At the heart of the debate is the SEC’s approach to classifying crypto assets, published in March. Six organizations argue that this approach should be incorporated into formal regulatory provisions, rather than merely being included in explanatory texts. The tokens involved include Chainlink, Hedera, Aptos, Avalanche, Stellar, and Cardano.
In their letter, these six companies and foundations argue that the SEC should incorporate the crypto classification criteria it published in March into official rules to reduce regulatory uncertainty.
The basis of the organizations’ request is, in particular, the view that a crypto asset being the subject of an investment contract should not, in itself, transform that asset into a security. The aim here is to clarify that even if a digital commodity is the subject of an investment contract, the asset itself is not a security.
The group also wants the SEC to clearly state that a new rule will not alter existing cryptocurrency classifications or change the scope of oversight or the boundaries between the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
It is not yet clear whether the SEC will accept these requests. Changes to the final regulation could affect the operations of digital asset projects in the US and the regulatory framework of the crypto market.

Ripple filed its comment letter on the SEC’s proposed Regulation Crypto Assets, supporting to finalize the proposed crypto rules. It rests on the Howey test, treating the investment contract, not the crypto asset itself as the security, and builds on a prior joint SEC-CFTC harmonization initiative.
Ripple CLO Stuart Alderoty said “We support the proposal, and the SEC has clear authority to adopt it.” He added that previous “case by case, coin by coin” enforcement has pushed crypto innovation offshore. He claimed the industry needs holistic rules for digital assets, and the Regulation Crypto Assets framework is a major move.
The proposal stays faithful to the Howey Test. Ripple CLO clarified the investment contract is a security, not a token. Stuart Alderoty cited that Ripple has spent more than $150 million to get clarity on XRP not a security.
“What matters is what an issuer actually promised and when those promises end, not a subjective decentralization test,” he added. Clear rules grounded in existing law will bring capital, investor protection and innovation to the U.S.

Chainlink partnered with Cardano, Hedera, Stellar, Aptos, and Avalanche in urging the SEC to codify its digital commodity framework. With Ripple seeking to exempt certain crypto assets from full SEC securities registration, the Blockchain Association also urged raising the startup exemption limit from $5 million to $10 million.
“Builders need lasting certainty. Codifying this progress would be a meaningful step toward keeping America the home of digital asset innovation,” said Chainlink head of policy Taylor Barr.

Although the official comment period for the SEC’s proposed Regulation Crypto Assets closed on October 20, the commission will continue accepting public feedback after the deadline, according to journalist Eleanor Terrett.
“While we encourage commenters to submit their feedback by the deadline, the Commission will continue to accept public comments on rule proposals after the comment period closes.”
The new crypto rules would create new fundraising exemptions for crypto issuers raising capital in the U.S., while the CLARITY Act developments remain uncertain ahead of midterm elections.

Hedera chief policy officer Nilmini Rubin says the EU has no US crypto law to align with after the CLARITY Act stalled in the Senate, as the SEC and CFTC write rules instead.
Europe has no US crypto law to line up with, according to Hedera (@hedera) chief policy officer Nilmini Rubin (@nilminirubin), after the CLARITY Act stalled in the US Senate. The setback leaves a planned EU-US effort on mutual recognition of crypto rules without an American counterpart to work with.
Rubin said a European government leader told her the EU had hoped to work this year on getting the EU and US to recognize each other's crypto rules. Now they "don't really have anything to be equivalent with," she recalled. She made the comments on an Atlantic Council (@ACGeoEcon) panel at last week's IMF and World Bank meetings in Bangkok.
CLARITY Act stalls in the SenateThe bill, a US crypto market structure measure, hit a wall on September 15. , according to law firm Paul Hastings.
The vote was procedural. Reporting indicates the dispute centered on ethics language covering officials' crypto holdings.
The bill is not formally dead. Even so,
SEC and CFTC fill the gapRubin also said the SEC and CFTC are now writing crypto rules instead. That matches the Paul Hastings account, which noted that
Agency rulemaking may move faster than Congress, but it offers a less settled footing for international coordination than a statute would. That is a concern for firms operating across the Atlantic, where Rubin has argued that rules for tokenized markets need to work across borders.
In a Bretton Woods Committee piece ahead of the Bangkok meetings, Rubin and Hedera colleague Isadora Arredondo wrote that
For Hedera, which positions its network for enterprise and institutional use, regulatory alignment between the two largest Western markets is a practical issue. Without a US statute, any EU-US equivalence process has to wait for either a revived CLARITY Act or finalized agency rules.

Hedera Network Activity Grows as HBAR Price Faces Pressure
The HBAR price remained 17.8% lower over two weeks but retained a 14.9% gain across 30 days. Trading volume fell to about 91 million dollars, compared with 1.51 billion dollars during the September spike.
The earlier rally followed IBM adding a network-based identity application to its cloud offerings on September 28. HBAR rose 27% that day before falling 16% the next day.
By comparison, Solana traded near $105 after losing 4.6% over seven days. That weekly decline was less than half the loss recorded by HBAR during the same period.
TVL measures assets deposited into applications, whereas TPS counts the transactions a network processes each second. The percentage increases therefore describe different kinds of activity. Neither figure, by itself, measures revenue or the number of paying customers.

Hedera prices network fees in dollars and collects payment in HBAR. That structure means transaction growth alone cannot establish how much additional token buying occurred. Fee revenue and the mix of transactions also affect the economic picture.
Hedera has a maximum supply of 50 billion HBAR, with roughly 44 billion circulating. Market capitalization stood near 3.68 billion dollars, versus a fully diluted valuation of 4.18 billion dollars. At its $0.57 peak, that circulating supply would imply roughly 25.1 billion dollars in market value.
UK Taskforce Membership and CLPR Broaden Developer Access
Hedera joined the Wholesale Digital Markets Champion Taskforce, led by Christopher Woolard CBE and backed by HM Treasury. Its agenda covers tokenized repos, fixed income, collateral, interoperability, and settlement finality. Participants aim to demonstrate an end-to-end repo transaction using blockchain technology. The work examines connections between public ledgers, private networks, and established financial infrastructure.
Separately, Hedera contributed CLPR, developed by Hashgraph, to Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust Labs on September 24. The protocol remains under development, with its code available for external review and contributions.
While CLPR was designed to solve the issue of cross-ledger interoperability and liquidity fragmentation, interoperability from a policy perspective is proving to be a greater challenge.@nilminirubin discusses this and more at the@IMFNews & @WorldBankGroup Annual Meetings in…
— Hedera (@hedera) October 16, 2026
CLPR uses state proofs so independent ledgers can verify each other directly. Applications built around it aim to transfer assets, messages, and data without bridges or intermediary validator networks. The approach targets fragmented liquidity and the additional infrastructure normally involved in moving value between networks.
The Hedera contribution entered LFDT as a lab, rather than a top-level project. Developers can inspect repositories, raise issues, test assumptions, and suggest practical applications as the work develops.
Hashgraph also opened a three-phase CLPR early adopter program. Its focus areas include cross-border payments with in-flight foreign exchange, cross-ledger settlement, and collateral mobility. Selected participants receive access to a hosted testnet and integration support.
The program invites financial institutions, fintech companies, asset issuers, liquidity providers, and corporations. It also seeks participants from different countries to incorporate regulatory and compliance considerations during development, according to the company.
At the application layer, HashPack and SODAX are expanding access to tokenized assets. Developers also received a new account balance query in the JavaScript, Java, and Go Hiero SDKs. It reads HBAR balances through the mirror node interface.
Hedera revised atomic batch rules in September. Batches can currently include one smart contract call, placed last. The network plans to remove that support in March 2027.
Hedera (HBAR) reports higher TVL and TPS over 30 days, joins the UK Wholesale Digital Markets Champion Taskforce and opens its CLPR cross-ledger protocol to developers.
Hedera (@hedera) has recorded gains in network activity alongside a run of institutional and developer milestones. Total value locked (TVL) on the network reached $33.2 million, up 12.3% over 30 days, while transactions per second (TPS) rose 168.37% over the same period, based on recent Token Relations data.
Institutional steps for Hedera and $HBARHedera has become part of the UK's Wholesale Digital Markets Champion Taskforce. The taskforce is led by Christopher Woolard CBE and supported by HM Treasury, and focuses on interoperability and settlement finality in tokenized repos , according to Coinfomania. Other priorities include tokenized fixed income and collateral, with interoperability across public, private and existing financial infrastructure a key theme.
The move fed into a broader institutional narrative around the token. AMBCrypto noted that news of the taskforce seat came as Hedera was strengthening the institutional adoption narrative during a sharp rally in $HBAR in late September.
CLPR goes open sourceOn the technical side, Hedera has made its CLPR cross-ledger protocol open source through Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust (LFDT) Labs. According to Hedera, CLPR (pronounced "clipper") is the bridgeless Cross-Ledger Protocol in development by Hashgraph, contributed to LFDT as a new lab on 24 September.
The design aims to remove the need for bridges. CLPR uses state proofs to allow ledgers to verify each other's states directly, with no intermediaries in between. That matters because bridges and wrapped assets have been a weak point for the sector. Genfinity, citing industry trackers, reported that bridge incidents have cost roughly $329 million across eight attacks this year .
Alongside the contribution, Hashgraph opened a three-phase Cross-Ledger Early Adopter Program focused on cross-border payments and in-flight FX, cross-ledger settlement, and collateral mobility. The code now sits in LFDT's repositories, where developers can review it and contribute before it reaches top-level project status.
Application layer and developer toolingIn the application category, HashPack and SODAX are working to widen access to tokenized assets. Additional SDK functionality and updated atomic batch rules were also among the recent developer-side updates.
Taken together, the data points to rising on-chain activity, a clearer institutional footprint in the UK and an open-source push on interoperability. TVL of $33.2 million remains modest in absolute terms, so the next test will be whether these initiatives translate into sustained usage.

Robinhood's tokenised stock tokens for Apple, Nvidia and Tesla are now tradable on Hedera through the HashPack wallet, using $USDC or $HBAR.
Robinhood's tokenised stock tokens are now available to trade on the Hedera blockchain, giving users of the popular HashPack wallet access to equities such as Apple, Nvidia and Tesla.
Purchases can be made in either @Circle's $USDC or Hedera's native token, $HBAR, through the @hashpack wallet. The integration expands Hedera's push into real-world assets (RWAs), where traditional financial products are represented on a blockchain.
What HashPack users can tradeAccording to TokenPost, HashPack has added tokenised exposure to Apple, Nvidia, Tesla and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF on Hedera. Users can hold, transfer and trade the products from within the wallet. TokenPost reports that Robinhood is the issuer of the tokens, while Hedera provides the network on which they are held and traded.
The feature runs on SODAX, which TokenPost describes as the cross-network execution layer behind it. In its partnership announcement, SODAX said the system coordinates execution across blockchain networks so HashPack can focus on the wallet experience. The same post said HashPack has more than 1 million accounts, accounting for over 90% of Hedera's monthly active users.
HashPack and SODAX first announced the partnership on September 14, and Genfinity reported at the time that the feature was still in development, with no go-live date published. A later Genfinity report described how the trading flow works: users open the Swap screen and select Stocks, and can switch between Stocks and Tokens on the Assets page.
What the tokens representRobinhood's stock tokens track the price of the underlying shares. Industry explainers note that they give holders economic exposure to a stock rather than legal ownership of the shares. Dwellir's guide to Robinhood Chain says the tokens trade around the clock where eligible. Genfinity notes the tokens trace back to Robinhood's tokenised stock lineup, which first launched for European users on Arbitrum in 2025.
For Hedera, the launch moves its RWA strategy closer to a consumer-facing product, as TokenPost put it. Users who already hold $HBAR or $USDC in HashPack can reach tokenised equities without moving funds to another wallet. Availability may vary by region and eligibility, so users should check the terms set by Robinhood and HashPack before trading.
Tokenised equities carry risks, including price tracking differences and limited liquidity. This article is for information only and is not investment advice.

Taurus, a digital asset infrastructure company based in Switzerland and established in 2018 in Geneva, has expanded its service offerings by integrating Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) technology for its institutional clients. Taurus supplies enterprise-grade digital asset solutions for banks and regulated institutions to manage the custody, issuance, tokenization, and staking of various digital assets.
Deutsche Bank and HBAR integrationDeutsche Bank, one of Europe’s leading financial institutions with assets totaling $64 billion, has started utilizing Taurus’ platform to natively stake Hedera’s HBAR coin. Additionally, the bank is now issuing tokenized shares of Real World Assets (RWAs) and private equity through the same infrastructure.
This step allows Deutsche Bank not only to stake HBAR but also to facilitate on-chain monetization of its own securities. By leveraging Taurus’ technology, the bank joins other major institutions—such as Jane Street, Lloyds Bank, Standard Bank, and Shinhan Bank—that are actively exploring the HBAR network to tokenize RWAs.
Mini dictionary: Taurus is a Swiss fintech company that provides infrastructure for banks and financial institutions to custody, trade, and manage digital assets, including services for tokenizing real-world assets and staking cryptocurrencies.
Institutional adoption and council changesHedera’s Governing Council, which supervises the network’s operations, includes industry giants such as Google, IBM, Deutsche Telekom, Accenture, and FedEx, underscoring strong institutional backing for the ecosystem. The recent participation by Deutsche Bank highlights a growing interest among large banks in integrating blockchain-based solutions into daily operations.
However, a few weeks ago, Hitachi exited the council, reducing the number of members to 33. Despite this departure, the altcoin’s price remained largely unaffected.
HBAR recent price performance and analyst outlookCurrently, HBAR’s price is consolidating in the $0.08 to $0.09 range, forming a double-bottom pattern. Historically, this technical setup may precede a trend reversal. Crypto analyst Gopal has identified a potential price target at the quarterly high of $0.22 if momentum returns. The long-term target stands at $0.35, referencing a similar technical pattern that played out in 2025 when HBAR rallied from about $0.09 to over $0.30, surpassing the $0.22 resistance in just 30 days.
Market data from TradingView indicates that whales are not providing significant support at the current levels, though bulls are managing to keep HBAR above the key $0.092 support point.

DEX volumes on the Hedera blockchain surged 151% in the 30 days to October 9, pushing monthly trading to around $110M, yet demand for spot HBAR ETF exposure has not kept pace with on-chain activity.
Decentralized exchange activity on the Hedera network has surged sharply over the past month. According to @MSBIntel, DEX volumes on the @Hedera blockchain climbed 151% in the 30-day period leading up to October 9, pushing total monthly volume to around $110 million.
On-Chain Activity Accelerates The jump in DEX volume fits a broader pattern of rising network activity on Hedera. Data from DefiLlama shows Hedera's 30-day DEX volume sitting near the $95 million mark, with Earlier in October, before the more recent acceleration that took the 30-day figure higher still.
, which analysts tend to view as a stronger signal of genuine network usage than speculative price action alone.
ETF Demand Has Not Followed On-Chain Growth Despite the improvement in DEX metrics, the surge has not translated into a corresponding uptick in demand for regulated spot $HBAR exposure. , and it remains the primary vehicle for investors seeking regulated access to the token. However,
, leaving a clear gap between the network's on-chain momentum and the institutional appetite measured through listed products. Whether the latest DEX volume figures are enough to revive that interest remains to be seen.
For now, Hedera presents a split picture: a network generating meaningful and growing decentralized trading activity, while the broader investment community continues to assess whether that on-chain growth will ultimately support a sustained re-rating of the token.

Hedera has expanded its real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem with the introduction of tokenized stocks, now accessible via HashPack and SODAX. This development offers users direct access to blockchain-based equity products, adding to the network’s growing presence in the RWA sector as tokenization of financial assets becomes more prominent in the global market.
Tokenized stocks debut on HederaThe RWA Foundation confirmed that tokenized stocks are available on the Hedera blockchain, allowing users to interact with the products through supported platforms such as HashPack and SODAX. Tokenization involves representing traditional assets like company shares on blockchain infrastructure, potentially enabling digital proof of ownership and settlement on a decentralized network.
With this rollout, Hedera aims to provide its community greater exposure to innovative financial products within its ecosystem. The announcement highlights Hedera’s move toward integrating real-world assets with blockchain technology, although specific details regarding the available stocks, trading parameters, and initial user demand remain undisclosed.
The addition of tokenized stocks is seen as a strategic effort to broaden the use cases of the Hedera network, which has focused on expanding beyond the confines of pure cryptocurrencies. Market observers will be watching closely to see how the offering is received and whether it drives further adoption.
Network activity hits weekly peakRecent data from Chainspect indicates that Hedera processed 807,383 transactions on October 8, reaching an average rate of 9.35 transactions per second. This figure represents the highest transaction activity recorded for the network within the past week.
Chainspect emphasized that on October 8, Hedera experienced its busiest day in terms of transaction volume for the week, with over 800,000 transactions processed at a steady pace.
Consistent growth in transaction numbers may point to sustained usage of the Hedera network, reflecting ongoing development within its application ecosystem. However, the report notes that transaction volume alone does not directly represent the actual trading of newly launched tokenized stocks or other applications on the platform.
For HBAR, the network’s native token, consistent network activity underscores its adoption trajectory, but it does not automatically translate to increased demand or price appreciation, since the nature of the underlying transactions is also a key factor.
HBAR price outlook and technical levelsAnalyst Giannis Andreou pointed out that the $0.0805–$0.0835 price range is a likely stability zone for HBAR, following a failed attempt to break above $0.131. He expects the cryptocurrency to consolidate within this band before any potential upward move.
Andreou sees initial consolidation in the $0.0805–$0.0835 band, with breakout levels at $0.0945, $0.1015, and $0.1085. If a higher move materializes, targets include $0.122, provided strong support forms first. A drop below $0.072 would reduce the likelihood of further upward movement.
The immediate outlook relies on whether HBAR can maintain key support. Establishing a firm price base is critical for any sustained recovery, and a fall below the designated invalidation level would challenge prospects for a reversal.
As price action and support levels play a defining role for HBAR, many investors are focusing on technological developments and macro signals. In a market where a single Fed decision or a sudden altcoin listing can change everything in seconds, jumping between different apps for charts, news, and portfolio tracking is costing investors money. Smart traders are now utilizing privacy-first tools like CryptoAppsy to consolidate everything. Without even the hassle of creating an account, you get real-time charts, smart price alerts, coin-specific news, and critical macro data all on one screen.
Market observers continue to highlight that adoption and network activity, while positive, are only part of the equation. Ultimately, the direction for HBAR will depend on its price action in the coming sessions.
Hedera Logs 807,383 Transactions in a Single Day@Hedera recorded 807,383 transactions on October 8, pushing its real-time throughput to an average of 9.35 transactions per second (TPS). Onchain data shows this was the highest transaction rate for the network in the prior seven days, representing a 152% recovery from a low of 3.7 TPS recorded on October 3.
The daily figure sits above the Q1 2026 average of roughly 708,500 transactions per day, which itself marked a 25.8% quarter-on-quarter increase. The latest print suggests activity on the network has continued to build into Q4.
Context: How Hedera's Performance Stacks UpHedera operates on a hashgraph consensus mechanism rather than a conventional blockchain. Its directed acyclic graph structure means throughput is limited primarily by available bandwidth, not by the architecture itself, giving it a meaningful design advantage over networks where block structure creates a fundamental ceiling.
The current throttle of 10,000 TPS for cryptocurrency transactions on Hedera is a governed limit, not a technical ceiling. Short bursts have already hit 16,000 TPS in production. Against that backdrop, a real-time average of 9.35 TPS reflects everyday organic demand rather than a stress test, and the week-on-week recovery points to a rebound in regular network usage.
Daily transactions on Hedera climbed 25.8% quarter-on-quarter in Q1 2026, averaging 708,500 per day. The October 8 reading of 807,383 comfortably clears that benchmark. The network's transaction mix has historically been led by its Crypto Service, which accounted for 68.4% of Q1 activity, followed by Smart Contracts at 19.7% and Consensus at 8.6%.
Hedera's native token $HBAR is used to pay fees on every transaction processed across these services, meaning sustained activity growth has a direct link to token utility demand.

Verified Throughput: Why Production Reality Matters More Than Theoretical Maxima, Hedera
Hedera (HBAR), the native token of the Hedera public distributed ledger, has caught the attention of technical analysts as price action compresses within two key chart patterns. Short-term and long-term signals are on the radar as experts debate the token’s next major move.
Short-term: Falling wedge pattern maturesTechnical analyst More Crypto Online has pointed out a falling wedge forming on the HBAR price chart. In this classic pattern, prices create lower highs and lower lows, squeezed between converging descending trendlines. Such formations are typically monitored for potential strong breakouts as the trading range contracts toward the wedge’s apex.
The analyst has chosen not to give a firm price target for HBAR, instead focusing on the readiness of the pattern. “The pattern is mature enough to matter,” he remarked, underlining that price direction will hinge on whether the wedge breaks upward or downward, and whether trading volume supports the move.
In a falling wedge, the crucial factor is not merely the appearance of the pattern, but the strength and volume of the breakout if it occurs.
Long-term: Multi-year compression builds pressureChartNerdTA, another prominent technical analyst, took a broader perspective by highlighting nearly six years of price compression for HBAR. He described the ongoing contraction as “eventually ending with violence,” emphasizing that extended periods of tightening price action often resolve with sudden and forceful moves, not gradual shifts.
Classical chartists frequently view prolonged consolidation phases as precursors to sharp directional moves once the range finally breaks. In this case, any breakout from the long-standing compression zone could signal the start of a new sustained trend for HBAR.
Mini dictionary: Hedera is a public distributed ledger known for its unique hashgraph consensus mechanism, which aims to provide fast, secure, and fair transactions compared to traditional blockchains.
Market outlook hinges on wedge resolutionThe intersection of the falling wedge and the long-term compression has created a scenario in which a clean break from the wedge could be interpreted as the first sign the larger consolidation is ending. However, if HBAR price fails to break above the wedge or instead falls below its lower bound, analysts suggest the extended range could persist, delaying a decisive move.
Despite rising anticipation, commentators are not promoting HBAR as an imminent breakout contender. Instead, both More Crypto Online and ChartNerdTA stress the importance of closely tracking price pattern developments and waiting for clear confirmation before expecting significant moves.
When market structures like these finally resolve, the resulting move is often sharp and unexpected, not gradual or subdued.
For now, crypto market participants continue to watch HBAR closely, noting that its technical setup presents the classic ingredients for a large move—timing and direction, however, remain uncertain.
AI agents are getting remarkably good at reasoning, planning, and taking action. What they have not had (until now) is safe, programmable guardrails.
Giving an AI agent access to your wallet is not a solution. Handing over private keys introduces risk that no guardrail can fully offset. And relying on human approval for every transaction defeats the purpose of autonomous AI. The result is a gap that has quietly limited what agents can actually do in the real world: they can think, but they cannot transact.
Hedera Agent Accounts are built to close that gap.
Introducing Hedera Agent Accounts: programmable, non-custodial spending accounts on Hedera that give your AI agent the ability to transact autonomously (paying for APIs, accessing data, settling invoices, and making purchases on your behalf) within a set of rules you define, enforced on-chain, with your private keys never leaving your wallet.
What is a Hedera Agent Account? An Agent Account is a spending account you create for your AI agent, funded from your existing Hedera wallet. Think of it as giving your agent its own budget with strict guardrails; not access to your full account.
Using the Agent Account web app, you connect your existing Hedera wallet, assign an agent to the account, and configure the rules that govern how and where it can spend. Those rules (daily spending limits, per-transaction caps, an approved list of merchants and recipients) are then locked into a smart contract on the Hedera network itself. Not stored on a company server. Not adjustable by anyone except you.
From that point, your agent can transact autonomously within those boundaries, 24/7, without you needing to approve every action.
How it works Connect your existing Hedera wallet
No new wallet to set up. Agent Accounts work with your existing Hedera account. You provision the account, assign an agent, and set an overall spending allowance; all from the Agent Account app.
Set your rules
Before your agent spends a single dollar, you define exactly how it can operate: a total spend limit, a daily cap, a per-transaction maximum, and an allowlist of recipients and merchants the agent is permitted to pay. These rules are written to a smart contract on the Hedera network and cannot be overridden; not by the agent, and not by Hedera.
Let your agent run
Once configured, your agent handles the rest. It can pay for APIs, access gated data, purchase services, and settle transactions; all without waiting on you. Any endpoint, merchant, or seller that accepts HBAR or USDC on Hedera can receive payment from an autonomous AI agent.
Inspect every action
Every policy, transaction, and agent action is preserved on Hedera’s Consensus Service, giving you a verifiable, tamper-proof audit trail of exactly what your agent did and what you authorized.
Your money stays yours A few things worth being explicit about, because they matter:
Funds never leave your account until the moment of purchase. The agent does not hold a balance. It sends spend requests to the smart contract, which validates them against your rules and executes the transaction. Nothing moves until the moment a valid, policy-compliant purchase is made.
Your agent never sees your private key. Ever. The Agent Account system is designed so that authorization lives at the smart contract layer; your keys are never exposed to the agent runtime.
You can shut it all down in one click. If you want to pause or revoke an agent’s spending, you can do it instantly from your wallet. No support ticket. No waiting period.
Works with any agent, any token Agent Accounts are backed by the Agentic Payment Services (an MCP server, REST API, and relayer) which means any AI agent that speaks MCP or REST can plug in. Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, self-hosted agents, custom-built runtimes; if it can make an API call, it can transact with an Agent Account.
Agents can pay in HBAR, USDC, or other Hedera tokens, making Agent Accounts practical for real-world commerce, not just on-chain activity. Agent Accounts are also compatible with x402 purchases, opening the door to a growing ecosystem of pay-per-request APIs and services.
For API and service providers on the receiving end: payments arrive from verified, policy-bound agents with cryptographic proof of user authorization. No chargeback risk. No signup friction for the agent.
One account per agent Each AI agent you work with gets its own Agent Account with its own budget and rules. A research agent and a shopping agent do not share funds or permissions; they operate independently, within their own policy boundaries. This separation makes it practical to trust different agents with different levels of access without any of them interfering with each other.
For enterprise teams, companies can run their own Agentic Payment Services endpoint and manage agent spending at an organizational level; with delegated controls, team-wide audit trails, and compliance built in from the start.
What’s coming Hedera Agent Accounts are coming to testnet in Q4 2026 for limited partner validation, alongside an early release of the Pay-per-API marketplace with initial partner endpoints. Public testnet access follows in Q1 2027, with mainnet availability targeted for Q2 2027, pending security review and legal sign-off.
If you are building AI agents and want early access, or if you run an API or service that wants to accept payments from autonomous agents, we want to hear from you.

Hedera price has retreated about 23% from its late-September peak near $0.131, leaving HBAR close to $0.101 as traders assess whether support at $0.10 can hold through October.
Summary
Hedera price was trading near $0.101 after surrendering much of its late-September surge toward $0.131. The daily Ichimoku conversion line stands at $0.11166, above the token’s latest price. Weekly Supertrend support sits at $0.06943, while the Awesome Oscillator has turned positive. CoinGlass shows overhead liquidation concentrations around $0.107–$0.114 and further bands below $0.10. TradingView’s Binance HBAR/USDT daily chart places Hedera at $0.10120, down 2.70% for the displayed session. The token traded between $0.10019 and $0.10489, keeping the latest decline close to the round-number support level.
The late-September advance briefly carried HBAR toward $0.131 before a steep reversal returned it to the low-$0.10 range. Based on those chart levels, the retreat amounts to approximately 22.7%, while a return to the peak would require a gain of about 29.4% from $0.10120.
The daily and weekly charts present different conditions. Daily price action shows weaker momentum after the spike, but the weekly chart retains a bullish Supertrend signal and a positive momentum reading. October’s recovery case therefore depends on whether nearby support survives while HBAR works through resistance above its current price.
Hedera price faces an early test at $0.1117 On TradingView’s daily chart, the Ichimoku conversion line stands at $0.11166, while the base line is $0.10146. HBAR sits just below the base line and roughly 9.4% below the conversion line, placing two separate hurdles above the latest price.
Hedera price daily chart — Oct. 5 | Source: TradingView A recovery through $0.10146 would bring price back above the baseline. Holding that level through a subsequent pullback would support an attempt to reach the conversion line, although the larger gap to $0.11166 shows how much ground buyers still need to recover.
The forward Ichimoku cloud spans approximately $0.09762–$0.10656. Its lower edge lies below the current price, while its upper edge sits around 5.3% higher, creating another nearby reference point for an October rebound.
The forward cloud turns green, but HBAR remains below the daily conversion line. In the chart-based bullish scenario, price would first recover the base line, then move through $0.10656 before testing $0.11166. Rejection at either higher level would leave the recovery incomplete.
Daily Aroon readings show Aroon Up at 50% and Aroon Down at 0%. The upward reading has eased from its stronger late-September position, consistent with the growing distance from the recent high, while the downward reading remains low because the longer lookback has not registered a fresh low.
Together, the daily indicators leave HBAR with a mixed setup. Price has lost the sharp upward pace of the September rally, but the Aroon readings do not show a new low dominating the same observation window. Holding $0.10 would preserve the immediate consolidation; reclaiming $0.11166 would provide a stronger recovery signal.
Weekly momentum improves below $0.1405 resistance TradingView’s weekly chart places HBAR at $0.10126, with the Supertrend support line at $0.06943. The indicator has switched to green following the recent recovery, leaving its support approximately 31.4% below the latest weekly price.
Hedera price weekly chart — Oct. 5 | Source: TradingView The weekly Awesome Oscillator reads 0.00798, with green bars above zero. Its move into positive territory follows an extended period of negative readings, giving the weekly recovery a firmer momentum signal than the latest daily pullback alone would suggest.
However, the chart’s marked horizontal resistance at $0.14051 remains well above the current market. HBAR would need to rise approximately 38.8% from $0.10126 to reach that level, making it a larger recovery objective after the nearer resistance areas have been cleared.
The weekly price history shows several past reactions around the $0.14 region. A return there would bring HBAR back to a price area that acted as a turning point during earlier market cycles, rather than simply extending the latest rebound into an untested zone.
The late-September high near $0.131 comes before that weekly barrier. For the October bullish scenario, a move above $0.11166 would open a test of $0.12, followed by the recent peak. Breaking and holding above $0.131 would then put the marked $0.14051 resistance in focus.
The weekly Supertrend offers a more distant downside reference, but $0.10 remains the nearer test. A token can retain a bullish weekly indicator while suffering a substantial daily correction, particularly when the indicator’s support line sits far below the market.
Giannis Andreou’s recovery case needs $0.085–$0.10 support In an Oct. 5 post on X, analyst Giannis Andreou identified $0.12–$0.15 as Hedera’s next weekly resistance zone. His bullish scenario requires the $0.085–$0.10 region to hold through a retest, followed by a sustained recovery above resistance.
“My bullish scenario needs $0.085–$0.10 to hold through a retest, followed by a sustained reclaim of that resistance.”
Andreou’s support range includes the current $0.10 test but extends below it. Under his framework, a brief loss of $0.10 would not automatically invalidate the broader recovery, provided HBAR found support inside the wider band and subsequently recovered.
The analyst listed $0.20 and $0.40 as later levels, with the historical high near $0.576 and $0.60 beyond it. He framed those prices as a full-cycle recovery scenario, with a weekly close below $0.055 invalidating his setup.
For October, his nearer $0.12–$0.15 resistance zone is the more immediate reference. The larger targets depend on several earlier barriers being cleared and were not presented as a forecast for the month.
Liquidation bands frame the next move around $0.10 CoinGlass’s one-month HBAR liquidation heatmap shows several overhead concentrations around $0.107–$0.114. Further bands appear around $0.12–$0.125 and near $0.132, broadly overlapping the price regions HBAR would encounter during a recovery toward its September peak.
Hedera liquidation heatmap | Source: CoinGlass Below the market, the heatmap shows concentrations around $0.098, $0.094–$0.095 and $0.091–$0.092. Additional bands lie in the high-$0.08 range, providing lower reference areas if the current support test gives way.
The immediate chart-based bearish scenario begins with a sustained loss of $0.10, followed by failure to recover it. A move below the forward cloud’s $0.09762 lower boundary would then bring the $0.094–$0.095 region into focus, where September price consolidation and liquidation concentrations overlap.
Failure to hold that area would expose the next visible region around $0.09. Andreou’s $0.085 lower support boundary would become relevant during a deeper correction, before the more distant weekly Supertrend level at $0.06943.
IBM development provides context as October resistance builds The Hashgraph Group announced on Sep. 23 that its Hedera-based IDTrust identity platform had been validated and listed in the IBM Cloud Catalog. The company described the product as a digital identity platform supporting verifiable identities for AI agents.
Separately, IBM said on Sep. 28 that IBM Agent Identity and HashiCorp Vault integrate with NVIDIA OpenShell. IBM’s announcement identified those products as part of its work around NVIDIA’s Open Agent Safety Platform.
For US investors, Nasdaq’s listing notice confirmed that the Canary HBAR ETF began trading under HBR on Oct. 28, 2025. The listing provides a US exchange-traded route for HBAR exposure alongside direct token ownership.
The October technical outlook remains centered on $0.10 support and the daily conversion line at $0.11166. Holding support and clearing that line would strengthen the case for $0.12–$0.131, while a sustained break below $0.09762 would shift attention toward $0.095 and $0.09.

DEX Volume Surges 55% in Seven DaysThe @Hedera network is posting some of its strongest on-chain numbers in recent memory. According to DefiLlama data, Hedera's DEX volume climbed 55% over the past week, reaching $49.32 million in total trading volume processed across the network. That comes alongside a nearly 5% increase in total value locked (TVL) in the past 24 hours, adding further weight to the broader activity pickup.
The busiest single day during the stretch was September 29, when Hedera recorded more than $17 million in DEX trading volume. DefiLlama data confirms the weekly volume figure of $49.32 million and a 55% weekly change for the chain.
SaucerSwap Leads the Pack@SaucerSwapLabs was the standout performer driving much of that volume. SaucerSwap is the largest DEX on Hedera by trading volume, with over $6 billion in all-time volume and more than 19 million trades as of mid-2026. The protocol combines an automated market maker, concentrated liquidity pools, and a central limit order book, along with yield farming and single-sided staking.
SaucerSwap chose to build on Hedera for its ability to support fast, high-volume transactions at lower fees than alternative networks, and also leverages Hedera Consensus Service for its governance structure.
The surge in DEX activity on Hedera fits into a broader pattern of growing network engagement. In Q1 2026, Hedera saw a 140% year-over-year increase in daily active wallets, reaching an average of 18,000. Earlier in 2026, the network also crossed the milestone of 50 billion total transactions since mainnet launch. For $HBAR watchers, sustained on-chain volume growth is one of the cleaner signals of genuine network demand, making this week's data worth monitoring closely.
@Hedera's native stablecoin market cap has jumped roughly 71% over the past week, reaching approximately $48 million, according to data cited by @BSCNews. The move is notable for a network that is still building out its decentralized finance presence, and it comes against a backdrop of broad stablecoin expansion across the industry.
Still Climbing the Rankings Despite the sharp weekly gain, Hedera sits at just 39th place globally when chains are ranked by stablecoin market cap. That ranking, however, may not hold for long. The network is now within reach of several established layer-1 blockchains, including @Algorand, @XDCNetwork, and @Cardano, all of which have longer track records in the stablecoin space. A continued run at this pace could see Hedera overtake each of them in the near term.
The growth fits a broader pattern on the network. Earlier in 2026, Hedera's stablecoin supply had already been trending upward, with crypto.news reporting in January that USDC accounts for the vast majority of the total stablecoin supply on the chain. Data from DeFiLlama showed stablecoin supply surging nearly 17% over a single seven-day period earlier this year, driven largely by USDC, which accounted for about 99.8% of the total supply.
Why Stablecoin Supply Matters Rising stablecoin supplies on a network signal greater on-chain liquidity, which in turn can fuel increased investor demand for the native token. For Hedera, that native token is $HBAR, which currently carries a market cap of around $4.5 billion and ranks among the top 30 cryptocurrencies globally, according to CoinGecko data, with roughly 44 billion HBAR tokens in circulation.
The stablecoin surge also reflects a wider industry shift. Total stablecoin market capitalization crossed $310 billion in mid-2026, up from roughly $124 billion at the end of 2023, a 150% increase in under three years. As more capital flows into stablecoins across all chains, networks that can attract and retain that liquidity stand to benefit in terms of activity, fee revenue, and ecosystem growth.
For Hedera, the 71% weekly gain in stablecoin supply is a meaningful signal that on-chain activity is picking up. Whether the network can sustain that momentum and close the gap on its L1 peers remains the key question to watch.

HBAR, the native token of the Hedera Hashgraph network, has recently climbed above the $0.10 mark following a prolonged period of weakness. With this move, market attention has shifted to the next resistance at $0.13, as buyers evaluate whether a sustained recovery is underway.
Breakout Above $0.10 Spurs OptimismMarket observers noted that after months of lower highs, HBAR established a bottom around $0.06 before a sideways consolidation. The subsequent rally allowed the token to close above psychological resistance at $0.10.
According to a chart shared by analyst Crypto King, HBAR’s move through $0.10 signals a potential shift in market structure, which could enhance sentiment among traders monitoring the asset’s next steps.
HBAR’s breach above $0.10 is seen as the turning point after a prolonged downtrend, marking a critical area buyers will continue to track as long as the breakout holds.
Historically, the $0.063 level has served as a significant support zone, representing the area where HBAR previously consolidated before its latest rally. Should the price pull back, market participants may view this support as a reference point for renewed demand.
Resistance Zones and Trading DataTechnical charts show the next major resistance at $0.13, with another prominent level at $0.21 if momentum increases. Volume data highlights a 24-hour trading volume of $285.3 million, and the asset’s market capitalization stands at approximately $4.61 billion. As of the charted period, HBAR was trading near $0.1052, fluctuating within a narrow range between $0.10 and $0.11.
There is an additional resistance level around $0.27, indicated on longer-term charts. Although well above the current price, it is referenced as a future potential target should a significant bull run develop.

Short-Term Signals and MomentumShort-term analysis on TradingView shows HBAR oscillating between $0.104 and $0.109, with intraday momentum waning after touching session highs. The Bollinger Bands indicate multiple reversals within a narrow channel, hinting at indecisive market sentiment.
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) readings hover around 0.07, suggesting modest buying pressure, but these levels are not sufficient to confirm a robust directional trend. Analysts caution against relying on minute-by-minute moves to predict longer-term price action, pointing out that rapid intraday volatility can mask broader market trends.
Momentum in the shorter timeframe remains mixed, with the price holding above $0.10, but recent highs have not been retested, keeping traders alert to possible quick shifts in sentiment.
Price Prediction and Key Levels for BuyersHBAR continues to maintain its position above the $0.10 threshold, with the $0.13 resistance emerging as the next critical area for buyers. Should the token surpass this mark, charts highlight $0.21 as a potential target where further gains could materialize. However, a return below $0.10 would risk invalidating the current breakout, possibly pushing the price back to earlier consolidation zones near $0.063.
The overall technical picture indicates that as long as HBAR remains above $0.10, market players will closely observe whether buyers can gather enough momentum for another upward leg or whether resistance will prompt a retracement, resetting the recovery attempt.
Uphold announced on September 29 that it is adding inheritance planning to Vault, its assisted self-custody wallet, letting customers name a beneficiary for their Bitcoin (BTC), XRP and Hedera (HBAR) holdings. The feature, called Vault Inheritance, targets a gap the company says has left almost 4 million BTC, worth roughly $331 billion, stranded in wallets whose owners died or lost their private keys.
Unlike a bank account or brokerage, a crypto wallet cannot be recovered by an heir who lacks the keys. Legal ownership may pass on, but the cryptographic control needed to move the assets often does not. Uphold’s answer is a designated beneficiary who can claim the assets after the owner’s death without ever holding access to them beforehand.
How the inheritance claim works A Vault customer invites a beneficiary directly from the dashboard, and that person is notified and guided to set up an Uphold account to receive the assets later. The beneficiary gets no access while the owner is alive, and the designation can be changed at any time. After the owner passes, Uphold’s compliance team verifies the legal documentation before transferring control into the beneficiary’s Uphold wallet. The company says the beneficiary needs no prior crypto knowledge. Uphold Vault itself launched in December 2023, pairing self-custody with built-in key replacement and instant access to trading.
Pricing and the estate-planning gap Vault Inheritance costs $19.99 a month. Existing Vault customers will see the new plan reflected after December 31, 2026, while U.S. users get a free 30-day trial. “Crypto has become a real part of how people build their financial future, but unlike traditional assets, there are few ways to pass it on securely — especially for XRP holders,” said Nancy Beaton, Uphold’s president of consumer.
A growing self-custody trend The launch lands months after Kresus introduced its own crypto inheritance service for self-custody users in July, a sign that wallet providers are moving to close the estate-planning hole as crypto matures into a long-term holding. Analysts have long warned that billions of dollars in crypto could vanish into dead wallets, and inheritance features are one of the first product-level answers to that risk.

Hedera [HBAR] declined 10% in the past day. While the market outlook is bearish, there’s a strong possibility the asset makes a rebound in the near term.
The chart analysis shows that the asset has now declined into a potential resistance-turned-support zone between $0.102 and $0.101. This level has previously prevented the price from witnessing an upswing on at least six separate occasions.
Price has seen a rebound since dropping into this support zone, pushing the asset higher from its current level, but this isn’t confirmation of a bullish market holding.
Source: TradingView In fact, in a bullish scenario, price is likely to make an upswing, extending its gains as high as 31% and reaching a high of $0.134 on the chart from its present level.
Otherwise, the price could drop below this potential support level, trading below it and extending the consolidation pattern that has lasted for more than eight months now.
Can bulls defend the key support zone? The direct answer to this is that there’s a high chance that bulls are likely to defend this level, preventing the price from falling.
The Money Flow Index, which tracks the inflow and outflow of capital in an asset, shows that there has been a cool-off in capital flow as it declines to 73.09 at the time of this analysis.
Source: TradingView Capital flow has cooled, but the MFI remains in the “bullish phase,” which ranges between 50 and 80. The market outlook for HBAR could turn bearish if the MFI exits this phase and trades below 50.
For now, that isn’t the case. The Bull Bear Power Indicator shows that investors are still bullish, as the green histogram bar remains in formation. When there’s a green histogram bar, it implies that the bulls are still active in the market and could begin accumulating the asset again.
Whale activity points to a potential rebound The rally has been largely driven by whales positioning for the upside. According to CoinGlass, the Whale Retail Delta, which tracks the involvement of both sides of the market, has surged significantly in the past day, reaching 0.481.
This surge confirms that whales have been the active drivers of the price of the asset, pushing it forward. The heatmap adds to the trend of price completing the bullish upswing to the target area on the chart.
Source: CoinGlass The heatmap shows that there’s a large liquidity cluster above the current price, with most of it clustered around the $0.13 level on the chart. Clusters tend to act as magnets, pulling price toward them. In this case, the upward level remains the most likely target.
Final Summary HBAR could rebound 31% if bulls defend the $0.101-$0.102 support zone. Whale activity and strong capital flows support a potential move toward $0.134.
Hedera’s token surged nearly 30% on Monday and Tuesday, hitting its highest point since January, before retreating on Wednesday. The momentum owes much to the arrival of an identity solution for AI agents on IBM Cloud. Another catalyst attributed to the network, a tokenization signed by BlackRock, remains to be confirmed.
In brief HBAR peaked around 0.13 dollar, its highest since early January, before falling below 0.11 dollar this Wednesday. The confirmed catalyst is Hashgraph Group’s IDTrust, listed since September 23 on the IBM Cloud Catalog. A report mentions tokenization of BlackRock’s money market fund on Hedera, without official confirmation at this stage. A 30% jump, then the retreat Hedera, one of the four projects capturing 70% of tokenized asset activity, saw its crypto jump nearly 30% on Monday and Tuesday, from around 0.096 dollar to a peak close to 0.13 dollar, its highest since January. Its market capitalization crossed 5 billion dollars, surpassing Avalanche and Sui, and the increase reaches nearly 60% over two weeks.
The celebration was brief. This Wednesday morning, HBAR traded around 0.108 dollar, down 8.5% over 24 hours (CoinGecko data, September 30, 11:20 UTC), with a market capitalization falling back to around 4.7 billion. The indicators had warned. The daily RSI exceeded 81, in overbought territory, and the main remaining cluster of liquidations is below 0.108 dollar.
IBM confirms, BlackRock still waits The most tangible catalyst dates to September 23. The Swiss group Hashgraph Group validated its IDTrust, a self-sovereign identity solution, and had it listed in the IBM Cloud catalog. It serves to verify the identity of AI agents acting on behalf of companies, each ID being anchored on Hedera. IBM, a governance council member since 2019, thus offers the ecosystem a first commercial outlet on a major cloud catalog.
The other driver attributed to the rally is less clear. Information reported on September 28 mentions the tokenization of BlackRock’s ICS US Treasury money market fund shares on Hedera, via Securitize, for approximately 38 billion dollars in assets. A significant nuance applies.
The often cited figure of 40 billion covers the entire money market fund range, not the assets deployed on Hedera; neither the timeline nor the exact scope have been detailed. BlackRock has, at this stage, published no confirmation.
Will the crypto follow the network’s activity? The real debate remains open. Hedera accumulates corporate references, but its activity is often settled in dollars, and nothing guarantees that this adoption reflects in the crypto price. Chart analysts, however, believe it will.
For Doctor Profit, every crossing of the 50-week moving average preceded significant movements; OxNeena targets 0.20, 0.30 then 0.45 dollar in case of exiting a descending channel. Technical readings, not promises.
Listed vehicles also call for caution. Grayscale removed its Cardano, Hedera, and Polkadot filings this summer, and the race for altcoin ETFs remains young. For what’s next, Hedera news will be the best observation post.
Two concrete deadlines are emerging. Support below 0.108 dollar must hold against liquidations, and the BlackRock dossier must move past the rumor stage. Beyond HBAR, a broader question is at stake, that of blockchains envisioning themselves as AI infrastructure.

Technical analysts have reached a rare consensus on Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR), with both Trade Confident and More Crypto Online identifying a potential fifth-wave advance under the Elliott Wave framework. Both analyses appeared on the same day and independently placed HBAR at a crucial turning point in its market structure.
HBAR tests support in wave 4 corrective phaseTrade Confident described HBAR’s current consolidation as the fourth leg of a classic five-part Elliott Wave pattern. According to this read, completion of the fifth wave could drive HBAR price toward $0.15, representing an advance of approximately 34% from the price level referenced in the analysis.
More Crypto Online offered a parallel but slightly more cautious perspective. This analysis outlined that HBAR’s present pullback also aligns with the fourth wave of the Elliott cycle, setting downside support targets at $0.108 and $0.094. Market reaction to these support levels will likely determine whether a new leg upward, known as wave five, takes shape.
The analysts underscored the complexity of the current setup. They emphasized that the structure is not a straightforward 1-2 sequence and noted that later Elliott waves, especially the fourth and fifth legs, often produce erratic price moves. A cleaner confirmation may come only after the five-wave sequence completes.
In Elliott terms, wave five is the final impulse leg of the sequence. That makes $0.15 more than a random round number. It is the projected terminus of the current pattern if the count is correct and support holds.
Conditional outlook remains for the bullish moveAnalysts cautioned that the bullish scenario is strictly conditional and depends on HBAR holding its cited support band. If prices fall below $0.108 or $0.094, the structure behind a fifth-wave surge loses credibility. Conversely, if support levels hold and the current corrective move shows signs of exhaustion, the stage could be set for another advance toward $0.15.
Key validation steps put forward by analysts include holding the 10.8 to 9.4 cent support range, confirming the end of the corrective phase, and only then anticipating a rally to the fifth-wave target. This order is essential, as Elliott counts can often appear viable until a critical invalidation occurs. Both analysts converged on a common risk framework: while the upside is promising, it remains contingent on the durability of support.
The market context has discouraged premature bullishness. Instead, HBAR is being positioned as a mid-structure consolidation rather than a rapid breakout candidate. Failure of the support band would likely defer any fifth-wave upside expectation, while a robust defense of these levels could prompt further expansion targeting $0.15.
Meme token fever and market monitoring dynamicsIn the broader landscape of rapid market movements, meme tokens continue to attract significant attention. Technical market observers often stress the importance of not just price but also timing and investor choices when tracking emerging tokens. In this environment, the transformation of internet trends into substantial gains can occur within days. Fomo App has reported that an initial $99 trade in the meme token “Niu Lai” grew to nearly $370,000, highlighting the speed and scale possible in the meme token space. Fomo App, which combines token discovery with integrated trading features such as social feeds, investor rankings, and real-time alerts, is becoming a preferred platform for those seeking to follow investor sentiment and new opportunities in meme tokens.
Both posts effectively agree on the same risk framework: the upside is interesting, but it is earned after support proves itself.
According to HTX market data, NMR leads the altcoin market, surging over 40% in 24 hours, hitting a high of $15.5 before trading at $14.1 as of press time. The rally is more of a catch-up move by capital under the "AI + institutional narrative": earlier, established institutional-linked tokens like QNT had rallied first, with some traders viewing NMR as a peer asset. Its price broke out of the $9–$10 consolidation range with significant volume, trading volume expanding notably from prior levels. Fundamentally, Numerai currently manages around $700 million in assets, has repurchased approximately $3.2 million worth of NMR over the past year, and has switched to a new on-chain staking mechanism. HBAR also leads the altcoin market, jumping over 27% in 24 hours, briefly breaking above $0.13 before trading at $0.122. On the news front, Hedera’s IDTrust identity solution was added to the IBM Cloud catalog, targeting enterprise clients and AI Agent identities; a Hedera council member appeared on NVIDIA’s Open Agent Safety-related list, which the market interpreted as its entry into the AI security sector. Combined with positive factors including RWA rumors such as Lloyds Bank’s tokenized Treasury bonds and BlackRock’s money fund shares going on-chain, plus its inclusion in a UK wholesale digital market working group, multiple tailwinds have driven HBAR’s rise.

HBAR price climbed 24.38% as Hedera’s NVIDIA-linked AI story reinforced institutional interest, triggering a rapid expansion in the market activity.
The rally emerged as Hedera Council members joined NVIDIA’s Open Agent Safety Platform. Reportedly, five council members participated alongside EQTY Lab, which uses Hedera’s platform to maintain AI audit trails.
Additionally, the EQTY Lab also used NVIDIA GPUs within its Verifiable Compute infrastructure, strengthening the connection between the ecosystems.
This development reinforced Hedera’s positioning around AI verification, trust, and as well as enterprise infrastructure. On the Spot market, HBAR’s market participation increased rapidly, jumping 1,088% to $1.33 billion as the rally unfolded.
Leverage floods into HBAR’s rally The heightened trading activity was reflected in the HBAR derivatives, where participants rapidly expanded their exposure as HBAR pushed higher.
Notably, the derivatives volume surged 1,300.01% to $2.60 billion as of writing, highlighting a drastic expansion in speculative market participation.
Additionally, the Open Interest (OI) also increased 73.81% to $283.64 million, suggesting investors created substantial new positions.
Binance’s top-trader account Long/Short ratio, meanwhile, reached 1.77, while its top-trader position ratio sat even higher at 2.2409. This positioning implied stronger long exposure among larger traders.
It’s also worth noting that the increasing leverage, however, raised HBAR’s vulnerability to sharp price swings.
HBAR Derivatives Data on CoinGlass Exchange outflows tighten available supply The spot flows added another dimension to HBAR’s sharp recovery while derivatives participants increased exposure.
As per CoinGlass spot data, HBAR had recorded roughly $2.32 million in net spot outflows at reporting time. These negative netflows suggested more tokens moved away from exchanges during the 24-hour period.
Notably, the recent reading also extended the broader presence of negative flows visible across the recent sessions. Therefore, exchange-side supply pressure remained controlled as the HBAR price rallied.
This dynamic supported the rising trading activity instead of depending solely on the leveraged demand. The strong derivatives expanded, reflecting speculative participation as spot outflows pointed towards limited immediately available exchange supply.
However, the scale of the rally still made the technical price structure increasingly crucial. Hedera needed technical confirmation to gauge whether buyers had shifted its broader trend.
HBAR Spot Netflows on CoinGlass CHoCH confirms HBAR’s structural shift On a weekly timeframe chart, HBAR provided that confirmation by breaking its descending channel, registering a bullish change of character (CHoCH).
Notably, Hedera’s price reclaimed the $0.10 price level before pushing towards the next resistance at $0.12835. The CHoCH reflected a notable departure from the bearish structure that had governed HBAR’s price downtrend.
Additionally, the weekly DMI indicator added strength to the breakout, with the +DI signal reading reaching 36.71 as the -DI signal reading declined to 10.67. At the time of writing, the ADX strength indicator stood at 21.96, implying directional strength gradually developing behind the structural change.
The RSI indicator climbed to 64.33 as buying pressure accelerated. The indicator, however, remained below the 70 overbought conditions threshold despite HBAR’s steep rally.
Ultimately, a strong breakout above the $0.12835 resistance could open HBAR’s path towards the broader $0.20 region. However, a decisive price rejection could bring the $0.10 level back into focus as the breakout support.
Source: HBAR/USDT Weekly Chart on TradingView Final Summary HBAR’s 24% rally gained strength from rising derivatives activity and sustained spot outflows. HBAR could target $0.20 above $0.12835, though minor pullbacks could come first.
Hedera’s HBAR has gained more than 20% in 24 hours, briefly touching $0.1306 before pulling back toward $0.118 as heavy trading accompanied the token’s strongest late-September breakout.
Summary
HBAR jumped over 20% as daily trading volume climbed above $1.4 billion during Tuesday trading. HBAR reached $0.1306 before retreating toward $0.118, leaving the token below its session high afterward. IDTrust is now available through IBM Cloud Catalog as a Hedera-based identity product for enterprises. NVIDIA launched its AI agent safety platform, but its announcement did not mention Hedera integration. Analyst Crypto Patel sees $0.15 as the first upside target, with $0.07 invalidating his setup. CoinGecko shows HBAR trading around $0.1178 at the latest reading, up roughly 20% over the previous 24 hours, with a daily range between $0.09629 and $0.1306. Trading volume stood near $1.47 billion against a market capitalization of approximately $5.16 billion.
The move has coincided with fresh enterprise news around Hedera, including the listing of The Hashgraph Group’s IDTrust platform on IBM Cloud Catalog and Hedera’s contribution of a cross-ledger protocol to Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust.
NVIDIA unveiled a separate AI-agent security platform on Sept. 28, adding attention to the same agent-security theme. Its announcement, however, does not identify Hedera, IDTrust or The Hashgraph Group as participants.
Why is HBAR price rising today? HBAR spent much of the previous week below $0.10 before buyers pushed it sharply through that level and toward $0.13. CoinGecko data show the token was trading near $0.0905 on Sept. 23, placing the latest move well above its recent consolidation range.
One confirmed development came from The Hashgraph Group, a Swiss company that develops enterprise products using Hedera. The company announced on Sept. 23 that its IDTrust self-sovereign identity platform had been validated and listed on IBM Cloud Catalog.
IBM’s own marketplace lists IDTrust as a third-party blockchain product provided by The Hashgraph Group for AI agents, connected devices and people.
The product uses decentralized identifiers and verifiable credentials anchored on Hedera. The Hashgraph Group describes its use case as “Know Your Agent,” or KYA, designed to let organizations verify whether autonomous software is authorized to act for a person or business.
In related coverage, Hedera-based IDTrust reached IBM Cloud Catalog for enterprise AI-agent identity, giving IBM customers a route to access the platform through an existing enterprise marketplace.
The Hashgraph Group said it had qualified for IBM Silver Partner status and signed a global Embedded Solution Agreement covering IBM cloud and AI technology. The announcement did not disclose customer numbers, contract values, expected network transactions or HBAR revenue tied to the marketplace listing.
Can HBAR hold above $0.115 after the rally? The daily chart shows HBAR breaking out from the 0.08–0.10 region before reaching close to $0.13. Price has since retreated but remains above the range that contained much of its recent trading.
Bollinger Bands have widened sharply as volatility increased. The upper band sits near $0.1151, while the middle band is around $0.0874. HBAR trading near or above the upper band shows how far price moved from its recent average during the rally.
Hedera (HBAR) price chart, source: TradingView Momentum is elevated as well. The Relative Strength Index stands near 74.28, above the commonly watched 70 overbought threshold and above its moving average around 65.71.
An RSI above 70 does not by itself mean a reversal will follow. In the current chart, it shows the speed of the latest move while indicating that HBAR has entered territory where short-term pullbacks or sideways trading can occur.
The first visible resistance remains between $0.12 and $0.13, where HBAR failed to maintain its intraday high. Nearby support sits around the upper Bollinger Band near $0.115, followed by the former breakout area around $0.10 if selling deepens.
CoinGecko’s current figures put HBAR roughly 9% below its $0.1306 session high while still more than 20% above the previous 24-hour low.
Could HBAR price reach $0.15 next? Crypto analyst Crypto Patel has presented a more aggressive technical scenario after HBAR reclaimed the 0.092–0.118 region.
Patel said his setup places $0.15 as the first upside target, followed by $0.21, $0.33 and eventually $1 if the higher-time-frame structure continues. He identified $0.07 as the level that would invalidate the bullish scenario.
hedera-hashgraph:native PRICE PREDICTION: 400% RALLY TARGET?#HBAR Is Entering A Potential Major HTF Bullish Expansion Phase After Reclaiming The $0.092–$0.118 Fibonacci Zone.
From Our Accumulation Zone, HBAR Is Already Up ~100% But I’m Expecting ~400% Upside If This Structure… pic.twitter.com/BM3PiDs5Yy
— Crypto Patel (@CryptoPatel) September 28, 2026 The $1 projection remains an analyst target, not a confirmed price outcome. It would require a move of several hundred percent from current levels, while HBAR first needs to hold its recent breakout and overcome the selling that appeared around $0.13.
Patel had previously identified the 0.07–0.10 region as a higher-time-frame accumulation area. His earlier analysis described a move above descending resistance as necessary before a larger expansion scenario could develop.
HBAR’s latest move has now taken price through much of that zone, although the pullback from $0.1306 shows buyers have yet to establish sustained trading above $0.13.
Institutional access to HBAR already extends beyond spot exchanges. In related coverage, Canary Capital’s U.S. spot HBAR ETF held $47.8 million in assets in July after beginning Nasdaq trading in October 2025.
Hedera adds enterprise projects beyond IBM Another Hedera-linked announcement arrived on Sept. 24 when Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust introduced CLPR, pronounced “clipper,” as a new open-source lab contributed by Hedera and developed by the Hashgraph team.
Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust said CLPR is a bridgeless cross-ledger messaging protocol that uses state proofs so independent blockchain networks can verify each other without intermediary validator networks.
The organization said applications built on CLPR can move data, messages and assets between ledgers without relying on pooled liquidity or conventional blockchain bridges. No token-specific revenue or HBAR demand forecast accompanied the announcement.
One day before HBAR’s latest price surge, NVIDIA launched its Open Agent Safety Platform, combining OpenShell software with its Sentry reference architecture for monitoring autonomous agents.
NVIDIA said more than 100 companies and organizations were participating across the initiative’s technologies. Its named ecosystem includes firms such as Microsoft, JPMorganChase, Salesforce, Cisco and Red Hat.
IBM participates in the safety initiative, but NVIDIA’s release does not mention Hedera, HBAR, The Hashgraph Group or IDTrust. The NVIDIA launch therefore cannot be described as a Hedera partnership or integration based on the available official material.
For HBAR traders, the immediate chart remains centered on whether price can hold the 0.115–0.118 area after the sharp breakout. A renewed move above $0.13 would retest the session high, while a sustained break below $0.115 would expose the former $0.10 breakout region.

"I am buying as it's breaking out right now," one popular trader said.
The cryptocurrency market is quite divided today (September 29), with some popular altcoins posting double-digit losses, while others are pumping hard.
Hedera’s HBAR is among the winners’ club after rallying by roughly 25% in a day and surging to its highest level since early January. Check out what triggered the move north and some of the most interesting price predictions.
History Repeating? Just hours ago, HBAR jumped to around $0.13 (per CoinGecko) before slightly retracing to the current $0.12. This still represents an impressive 60% increase over two weeks.
HBAR Price, Source: CoinGecko The asset’s market capitalization has risen well above the $5 billion psychological mark, making it the 26th-largest cryptocurrency and flipping popular altcoins like Avalanche (AVAX), Sui (SUI), and others.
Perhaps the main catalyst for the uptrend is the partnership between IBM and the Hashgraph Group. The entities aim to bring Hedera-based IDTrust to IBM Cloud, giving enterprises verifiable digital identity for AI agents. Meanwhile, BlackRock’s tokenization of its US Treasury Money Market Fund on Hedera pushed net assets beyond $40 billion, signaling solid institutional support.
The token’s major resurgence caught the eye of several market observers, most of whom expect further short-term gains. The Moon Show claimed that HBAR “is doing the same thing it did before the last big move.” The X user identified $0.13 as a key level, suggesting that clearing it could spark a much stronger upward move.
For his part, Doctor Profit argued that every time HBAR crossed the weekly MA50, it rallied strongly afterward. That said, he revealed that he has increased his exposure to the asset “as it’s breaking out right now.”

According to the analyst, the next bullish targets could be $0.20, $0.30, and $0.45.
HBAR’s recent exchange netflow supports the bullish forecasts. Over the past few days, outflows have far surpassed inflows, suggesting investors have moved away from centralized platforms toward self-custody, effectively reducing immediate selling pressure.
HBAR Exchange Netflow, Source: CoinGlass Something for the Bears Despite the overall optimistic forecasts, HBAR’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) hints that the asset may face a short-term correction.
The ratio has surged past 70, representing overbought territory, which is typically interpreted as a precursor to a pullback. The index runs from 0 to 100, where anything below 30 is seen as a buying opportunity.
In This Article What is Nvidia's Open Agent Safety Platform and Where Does HBAR Crypto Fit Into It?Council Representation Is Not the Same as an Nvidia Partnership: Has this Distinction Caused the Hedera Price Drop?Can HBAR Crypto Hold the Rally, or Was This a Narrative Spike? HBAR crypto briefly climbed above $0.130 and is trading near $0.117 today (September 29), up roughly 30% over the previous 24 hours, according to CoinGecko data. The move followed Nvidia’s launch of its Open Agent Safety Platform, an initiative the chipmaker says is designed to establish security and governance controls for artificial intelligence (AI) agents as they take on more autonomous tasks.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled the platform alongside more than 100 industry partners, with two components, OpenShell and Sentry, named as the technical backbone of the effort. Hedera, the distributed ledger network behind HBAR, quickly pointed to its governing council’s involvement in the surrounding ecosystem, framing it as validation that trust and safety are becoming central to the AI economy.
Council-level visibility in a fast-growing AI safety conversation is not the same as a confirmed Nvidia-Hedera partnership, and it is not proof that HBAR faces any new mandatory demand.
Today, with over 100 industry partners, we introduced the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform, bringing together OpenShell and Sentry.

What is Nvidia’s Open Agent Safety Platform and Where Does HBAR Crypto Fit Into It? OpenShell and Sentry, the two named components, function as runtime controls, but nothing in Nvidia’s own announcement makes token-level demand for any specific blockchain a condition of using the framework.
Separately, Hedera contributed its Cross-Ledger Protocol to the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust in the same window. It’s genuine infrastructure work, but it’s also a separate development from Nvidia’s AI-safety launch, and conflating the two overstates how tightly connected they are.
For a broader look at how markets are pricing security around autonomous AI systems, see the prediction-market odds tied to frontier AI safety talks.
Council Representation Is Not the Same as an Nvidia Partnership: Has this Distinction Caused the Hedera Price Drop? BREAKING: 5 Hedera Council members plus EQTY Lab, which anchors AI audit trails on Hedera, are on NVIDIA's roster for its Open Agent Safety Platform. pic.twitter.com/InJZxXUkGh
— MSB Intel (@MSBIntel) September 28, 2026
Hedera’s messaging after Nvidia’s announcement emphasized its governance council’s involvement in the broader ecosystem related to the safety initiative. They argued that trust and safety are crucial as the AI economy grows. However, evidence for this connection is limited.
Nvidia’s materials do not directly mention Hedera, Hashgraph, or HBAR as contributors. This suggests any relationship is based on overlapping participants, not direct integration, so investors may be overinterpreting the announcement about Hedera’s role or HBAR’s necessity for using the platform.
The same caution applies to any assumption that AI-agent activity automatically translates into blockchain token demand. No disclosed data shows additional HBAR purchases, fee growth, or transaction volume tied specifically to the AI-safety announcement; the rally so far reflects narrative positioning, not measured on-chain usage.
The same gap between a plausible use case and proven demand shows up elsewhere in crypto, including in how AI agents making payments through XRP have been discussed without settled evidence that agent adoption requires the token itself.

HBAR needs to clear resistance at $0.135 to extend Monday’s advance, after briefly topping $0.130 and settling near $0.117. A clean break and hold above that level would confirm buyers are willing to pay up for the AI-governance narrative rather than just react to a headline.
Bull case: HBAR crypto clears $0.135 and holds, with the AI-narrative catalyst reinforced by additional named deployments beyond council-level visibility. Base case: Price consolidates roughly between $0.113 and $0.135 while traders wait for concrete evidence of Hedera activity tied to Nvidia’s platform. Bear case: HBAR loses the $0.113 support and slides toward the next floor near $0.103 if the narrative fails to produce follow-through news. DISCOVER: Best Meme Coin ICOs to Invest in 2026

Altcoin traders are repeating behavior last seen before the October 2025 market top. Spot volume and exchange deposits have both climbed to levels unseen since the run-up to that peak.
Meanwhile, a separate gauge of altcoin strength shows the rally has yet to meet the formal definition of altcoin season.
Traders Crowd Into Altcoins at a 2025 PaceGlassnode reported on September 28 that total crypto spot volume now runs nearly 4 times Bitcoin (BTC) spot volume. The ratio sits at its highest level since September 2025.
A higher reading means more trading is taking place outside Bitcoin. According to Glassnode, this kind of risk appetite has often coincided with local Bitcoin tops.
“Demand for higher risk like this has often lined up with local tops in BTC,” it said.
Altcoins Taking a Bigger Share of Spot Trading. Source: X/GlassnodeAnalyst Darkfost said Total2, the altcoin market cap including Ethereum (ETH), has absorbed over $371 billion since June. That equals a 45% rise in a few months.
The data also shows the rally spreading across the market. In August, 80% of Binance-listed altcoins traded below their 200-day moving average. Only 13% remain below it now.
The share of altcoins above that trend line stood at 70% on September 20, BeInCrypto reported. The latest data puts it at 87%.

Exchange Deposits Echo the Last Market TopDarkfost also found that altcoin exchange deposits have reached their highest level since October 2025, when the market last peaked.
Weekly deposit transactions now average over 22,700 on Binance and 8,300 on Coinbase. Roughly 32,000 more are spread across other exchanges.
The analyst paired the deposit data with an emerging bearish divergence on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) of Total2. Such a divergence can signal that upward momentum is fading.
“This shift points to a form of euphoria taking hold across altcoins. Historically, however, this kind of dynamic isn’t sustainable and eventually runs out of steam,” the analyst said.
Still, Darkfost noted that deposit volumes remain modest compared with the start of the previous bull cycle. Earlier this month, BeInCrypto also found altcoin leverage repeating the pattern seen before the October 2025 crash.
Money Chases a Few Stories Beneath the BreadthThe breadth readings mask an uneven split in where money has flowed this week, CoinGecko data shows. Quant (QNT), among Monday’s top gainers, has surged about 269% over 7 days.
The rally followed The Clearing House picking its Overledger technology for a tokenized deposit network. Hedera (HBAR) has jumped nearly 27% in 24 hours.
Meme coins have moved the other way. Dogecoin (DOGE) has fallen almost 9% over the week, while Pepe (PEPE) has lost about 21%. Privacy coins have also cooled, with Zcash (ZEC) down roughly 12% in 24 hours.
These uneven gains fit with an Altcoin Season Index still at 53.
The Altseason Gauge Stays Stuck in NeutralBlockchaincenter’s Altcoin Season Index moved from Bitcoin Season to Neutral on September 2. The index tracks how many of the top 50 coins beat Bitcoin over 90 days. A reading of 75 or above confirms an altcoin season.
Altcoin Season Index. Source: BlockchaincenterCrypto commentator Ash Crypto offered a more bullish read. He said the OTHERS/BTC monthly chart, which excludes the top 10 assets, broke a 4-year downtrend.
ALTCOINS ARE SHOWING ONE OF THEIR MOST BULLISH SETUPS IN YEARS.
The OTHERS/BTC monthly chart is flashing some major signals:

— Ash Crypto (@AshCrypto) September 28, 2026 He added that the chart confirmed a bullish momentum cross and closely mirrors the setup before the 2021 altcoin season.
The index still needs 22 more points to confirm an altcoin season. Whether it gets there before the warning signs from Glassnode and Darkfost play out is the question heading into October.

Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR), a leading distributed ledger technology (DLT) network supported by major tech firms such as IBM, Google, Samsung, and LG, recorded a significant price rally following a series of new partnerships and technical milestones.
Rally Fueled by IBM and BlackRock AnnouncementsHBAR surged by 26% earlier this week, touching $0.13. The sudden uptick followed news of fresh collaborations and growing institutional activity on the network. Market analysts have attributed the breakout to a combination of strong technical indicators and recent bullish developments.
Technical analyst Chart Nerd argued that HBAR had been in a prolonged period of price compression for nearly six years, and the break above the multi-year resistance level at $0.10 marks a major turning point for its price trajectory. Chart Nerd also highlighted the network’s series of higher lows from 2020 to 2026, suggesting a renewed consolidation and upward momentum for the token. The next key resistance is set at $0.40.
From a technical perspective, the Elliott Wave analysis also supports the potential for further upside. Several traders recently pointed to a bullish pattern, indicating growing confidence among HBAR investors.
Another catalyst for HBAR’s jump was BlackRock’s move to tokenize its ICS US Treasury Money Market Fund, a process facilitated by Securitize. This initiative elevated the fund’s net assets above $40 billion at the start of the week, with the final effect on Hedera’s network still dependent on full fund deployment.
BlackRock is one of the world’s largest asset management firms, and its recent tokenization efforts have drawn significant attention to blockchain infrastructure capable of supporting institutional-grade assets.
Mini dictionary: Tokenization, in finance and blockchain, refers to the process of representing real-world assets, such as securities or funds, as digital tokens on a distributed ledger or blockchain network. This approach can enhance liquidity, transparency, and efficiency in financial markets.
IBM and HBAR-IDTrust DeploymentThe Hashgraph Group recently announced that the HBAR-IDTrust platform has been validated and included in the IBM Cloud Catalog. This move enables enterprises to access secure identity infrastructure for agents, devices, and people on the Hedera network. However, details on enterprise adoption and the scale of identity traffic through Hedera have not yet been disclosed.
Hashgraph Group’s statement on the IBM Cloud Catalog listing emphasized expanded access for enterprise users seeking reliable identity solutions using decentralized technology.
IBM, a global technology corporation, has played a key role in integrating blockchain-based solutions for enterprises around the world. Through collaboration with Hedera, it continues to drive advancements in identity management and security on scalable DLT networks.
Industry observers are now watching how these high-profile partnerships could affect broader adoption of HBAR and Hedera’s DLT network among institutional investors.

Quant Soars on Clearing House Partnership$QNT surged 30% in 24 hours to $241.83 on $1.54 billion in trading volume, extending a weekly gain of 262%. The catalyst was a headline-grabbing announcement on Thursday: The Clearing House selected Quant, a provider of programmable money infrastructure, to power the On-Chain Money Initiative, a new interoperable payments network for US banks.
Quant will supply the interoperability, orchestration and transaction-management layer, linking the network to existing fiat rails like RTP and CHIPS. The initiative is designed to create new opportunities across corporate treasury, liquidity management, cross-border payments and digital asset settlement. For banks without their own tokenized deposit capability, Quant has also been contracted to provide a commercial bank-side solution through its Tokenised Deposits-as-a-Service offering. The Clearing House's networks clear and settle more than $2 trillion each day, putting the partnership at the core of the US banking system.
The network is expected to become available to participating institutions in the first half of 2027, with additional details on participation and use cases to be announced as development progresses.
Hedera Rides Its Own Wave$HBAR was not far behind, climbing 26% to $0.1202 over the same 24-hour window. Its daily volume jumped more than 14-fold to $1.18 billion, lifting its market cap to $5.26 billion. The primary catalyst was a September 23 announcement from Switzerland's Hashgraph Group, which said its IDTrust identity platform, built on Hedera, had been validated by IBM and listed in the IBM Cloud Catalog. The Hashgraph Group also received IBM Silver Partner status and signed a global Embedded Solution Agreement covering IBM Cloud and AI technology, giving Hedera a commercial connection to one of the world's largest enterprise technology ecosystems.
Together, the two tokens stood out as the top performers among the 100 largest cryptocurrencies on an otherwise difficult day for the market. Bitcoin fell 1.7% and the total crypto market cap slipped 1.7% to $2.86 trillion, per CoinMarketCap data.

Hedera [HBAR] has rallied 29.8% in the past 24 hours, with an Open Interest spike of over 80% in a day. Its daily trading volume was $619.5 million, a 718% increase day-on-day, according to CoinMarketCap data.
What spurred the sudden gains? On the 23rd of September, The Hashgraph Group announced that its IDTrust self-sovereign identity platform had been validated and officially listed on the IBM Cloud Catalog.
News came out that Hedera joined the UK’s Wholesale Digital Markets Champion Taskforce, strengthening the institutional adoption narrative.
Source: HBAR/USDT on TradingView It can be argued that these news events came alongside a Hedera uptrend. The downtrend on the daily timeframe stretched back to September 2025. A lower high at $0.0745 made in July was breached in August.
In recent weeks, the same level was retested as support before the price moved even higher. It has now surpassed the $0.107 swing level from February, a strong sign that a bullish recovery is underway.
Source: HBAR/USDT on TradingView The weekly chart showed HBAR’s bullish swing structure from late 2024, and the extended downtrend since 2025 was part of the retracement. The 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.118 was being challenged.
Moreover, the $0.105-$0.128 area (red) represented a supply zone from November 2025. If these resistances are breached, the odds of an HBAR recovery would dramatically increase.
Traders’ call to action – Take profits Source: HBAR/USDT on TradingView The recent 4-hour session’s trading volume was extraordinary, matched in magnitude only by the October 2025 crash. Such high-volume price spikes into a long-term supply zone can be a good area to take profits at.
Swing traders and investors can wait for a pullback to $0.10 to buy. Alternatively, they can also seek to re-enter the long side after a breakout past the $0.128 weekly resistance level.
Final Summary Hedera has smashed aside local resistance levels and challenged February highs with its high-volume price surge. The extremely high volume and overbought momentum indicators on the 4-hour chart cautioned that profit-taking and buying the pullback could be a viable strategy.
Hedera price surged about 30% on Sep. 28, climbing above $0.12 as traders reacted to a sharp chart breakout and a new post linking Hedera Council members to NVIDIA’s AI safety initiative.
Summary
Hedera price reached $0.12576 on Binance after opening the daily session near $0.09586. The daily relative strength index rose to 81.03, above the commonly watched overbought threshold of 70. Hedera pointed to council representation in NVIDIA’s Open Agent Safety Platform announcement. A 24-hour liquidation heatmap shows a large cluster near $0.108, below the latest price. Hedera (HBAR) price traded near $0.1247 on Binance at the time of writing, according to the TradingView 4-hour chart. The move took the token above $0.10, a level it had struggled to hold during the preceding week, and past the chart’s upper Bollinger Band at $0.11346.
The latest reading is higher than the roughly $0.119 price cited earlier in the day. It also changes the immediate technical picture: HBAR had climbed back toward its daily high after an intraday pullback, rather than continuing to fall from it.
Hedera’s NVIDIA post adds to attention around the rally Hedera posted on Sep. 28 that Hedera Council members appeared among the organizations represented in NVIDIA’s Open Agent Safety Platform announcement. The post shared an image from NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang showing a broad group of industry participants, including Accenture and EQTY Lab.
Great to see Hedera Council representation on the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform 👀
Trust and safety are what the AI economy needs to scale responsibly. https://t.co/EZUF1SBlSA
— Hedera (@hedera) September 28, 2026 Hedera described the development as council representation on the platform. Its post came during the same day as HBAR’s price surge, giving traders a fresh AI-related development to follow. The announcement does not specify a new NVIDIA deployment on the Hedera network or a resulting volume of HBAR transactions.
The companies have an existing connection through work on AI oversight. In a case study, Hedera says its Consensus Service is used to create timestamped records of AI actions in a public-sector project involving Accenture and EQTY Lab. EQTY Lab supplies tools to verify AI activity, while Accenture is developing plans to bring the system into public-sector software.
That project predates Monday’s trading. Hedera Foundation announced its work with Accenture and EQTY Lab in June 2025, and Accenture joined the Hedera Council in April 2026. Monday’s post renewed attention to those ties as the token broke higher.
The U.S. connection runs through the public-sector focus of the Accenture and EQTY Lab project. Hedera says the system was demonstrated in Washington for government uses, including emergency management and cyber incident response. The project’s existing scope provides context for the AI narrative, while the price charts show the scale of the latest market reaction.
HBAR breaks above $0.12 as daily RSI reaches 81 TradingView’s Binance daily chart shows HBAR opening at $0.09586, falling as low as $0.09415 and then reaching $0.12576. At about $0.12468, the token was up 30.06% from the daily open.
Hedera price daily chart — Sep. 28 | Source: TradingView The advance carried HBAR through several marked levels on the daily chart. Price cleared $0.09766, $0.10376, $0.10986, and $0.11597 before moving above the $0.12207 Murrey Math resistance level. The next marked levels are $0.12817 and $0.13428 if the breakout extends.
The daily RSI stood at 81.03, compared with its signal line at 63.81. A reading above 70 marks strong upward momentum but also shows how far the move has stretched in a short period. The chart’s price path is steep: HBAR spent much of the prior week below $0.10 before rising above $0.12 in one session.
On the 4-hour chart, the Bollinger Band midpoint stood at $0.09728 and the upper band at $0.11346. HBAR’s move well above the upper band shows that the latest candles are trading outside their recent range. The 4-hour ADX read 34.56, indicating a strong trend, although ADX alone does not show whether that trend will continue.
Hedera price 4-hour chart — Sep. 28 | Source: TradingView The daily high of $0.12576 is the nearest observed upside test. Above it, the marked $0.12817 level would come into view. A retreat below $0.12207 would put $0.11597 and the 4-hour upper Bollinger Band near $0.11346 back in focus. The former resistance area around $0.10 is farther below.
Liquidation heatmap places a large cluster near $0.108 CoinGlass’s 24-hour HBAR liquidation heatmap shows price rising from below $0.10 to roughly $0.125 by the end of the displayed period. Liquidation levels are scattered above $0.12, with additional bands near $0.126 and $0.127.
Hedera liquidation heatmap | Source: CoinGlass The brightest remaining band below price lies around $0.108. Other visible clusters sit near $0.105 and the $0.10 area. The heatmap maps estimated liquidation exposure at those prices; it does not show that those positions have already been liquidated or establish what caused the rally.
The earlier account of more than $260,000 in long liquidations during one hour requires separate exchange liquidation data. The heatmap itself cannot confirm that figure or show that forced long selling drove the intraday pullback.
For now, HBAR’s trading range is defined by the $0.12576 high and the levels it cleared during the surge. Holding above $0.12207 would keep price near the top of the move, while a break back below $0.11597 would bring the $0.108 liquidation cluster and the former $0.10 resistance area closer into view.

Hedera’s native token, HBAR, is nearing a key resistance level at $0.11 after rebounding from a prolonged consolidation phase. The latest upward move has been accompanied by an increase in derivatives open interest, suggesting growing market engagement as the token tests important technical levels.
HBAR Approaches Key Technical ResistanceTechnical indicators for HBAR remain optimistic as the price edges closer to the $0.11 resistance zone, though confirmation of a sustained breakout has not yet been achieved. The $0.11 threshold is now viewed as central to HBAR’s short-term market structure and is more significant than longer-range analyst forecasts.
Crypto analyst EGRAG CRYPTO has underlined $0.11 as the first major resistance point for HBAR, with subsequent levels at $0.134, $0.219, $0.31, and $0.403.
EGRAG CRYPTO’s approach highlights a sequence of resistance barriers rather than focusing on distant price targets. The immediate challenge for HBAR remains whether the token can decisively establish support above $0.11.
A successful move above this zone would alter HBAR’s technical setup, while a rejection could leave the token fluctuating within its recent trading range.
TradingView data indicates that HBAR set a notable low near $0.064 in early August, then climbed above resistance at $0.08 before advancing to approximately $0.10, where it consolidated again.
At the time captured in the chart, HBAR traded near $0.09546, representing a 2.55% gain and retaining most of its recent recovery as it approaches resistance.
Rising Open Interest Signals Market FocusHBAR’s derivatives market has also reflected the renewed momentum. According to CoinGlass, HBAR derivatives trading volume stood at roughly $170.59 million, with open interest climbing by 5.17% to reach $161.20 million.
The increase in open interest indicates that the value of active derivatives contracts—those yet to be settled—has grown as HBAR tests higher price points. Robust trading volumes further show that traders remain engaged at current levels.
Although a rise in open interest alone does not determine investor sentiment as bullish or bearish, shifts in derivatives positioning are closely observed as HBAR approaches technical resistance.
Institutional Developments and Market EcosystemRecent market action has coincided with Hedera’s continued efforts to advance institutional liquidity and blockchain infrastructure. Hedera outlined upcoming participation in a Sibos panel titled “Unlocking Liquidity: From Siloed Assets to Connected Markets,” which will address cross-ledger settlement and the challenge of fragmented infrastructure.
This institutional focus underscores Hedera’s strategic commitment to supporting connected markets and efficient cross-network transactions for financial institutions.
While these developments may not directly impact HBAR’s short-term price, they illustrate ongoing advancements within the Hedera ecosystem and inform market perception beyond technical trading factors.
As the $0.11 level remains the central technical resistance in the near term, traders are closely monitoring whether HBAR can consolidate above this threshold. A decisive breakout may bring focus to additional resistance zones identified by EGRAG CRYPTO.
Given the current trend in open interest and Hedera’s attention to market infrastructure, technical signals such as RSI and MACD also remain positive, but much will depend on price action at $0.11.
Amid technical monitoring, tracking investor timing and token selection has become increasingly critical, especially in fast-moving segments like the meme token market. An example from Fomo App shows how a viral trend can rapidly generate millions in transaction volume, highlighting a trade in “Niu Lai” that transformed a $99 investment into roughly $370,000. Fomo App enables real-time monitoring of token discoveries, social feeds, and trade alerts, helping users keep pace with dynamic investor behaviors.
Hedera has contributed CLPR (pronounced “clipper”), the bridgeless Cross-Ledger Protocol in development by Hashgraph, to the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust (LFDT) as a new lab, the company announced on September 24. The contribution turns the interoperability effort into an openly developed codebase and opens a three-phase early adopter program aimed at financial institutions, fintechs, asset issuers and liquidity providers.
From in-house protocol to open-source lab As an LFDT lab, CLPR moves into the foundation’s GitHub repositories, where developers can review the code, propose use cases and contribute before the project reaches full top-level LFDT status. The contribution follows Hedera’s earlier donation of its full network codebase to the foundation as Project Hiero. “Just weeks ago marked the two-year anniversary of Hedera’s establishment as a founding Premier Member of the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust,” said Leemon Baird, co-founder of Hedera and chief scientist at Hashgraph. “Today’s announcement that Hedera is contributing another protocol to LFDT shows that our commitment is only growing, and we’re excited to see how developers experiment with CLPR’s capabilities.”
State proofs instead of bridges Blockchain networks largely operate as separate ecosystems with their own consensus rules, token standards and execution environments. Assets issued on one ledger generally cannot interact natively with another, and workarounds such as bridges and wrapped assets add security risks, intermediaries and liquidity requirements. CLPR is designed to address this by using state proofs that let ledgers verify each other’s states directly, with no intermediary in between, so applications can move tokens, data and messages across networks without a bridge. The protocol builds on Hedera’s existing interoperability work, including its adoption of Chainlink for DeFi and real-world assets.
Early adopter program targets institutions Alongside the contribution, Hashgraph opened the Cross-Ledger Early Adopter Program, a three-phase virtual program focused on cross-border payments and in-flight FX, cross-ledger settlement, and collateral mobility. Selected participants gain access to a Hashgraph-hosted testnet environment, where they can move real test assets through a CLPR-enabled application layer with help from an assigned integration expert. “Cross-ledger interoperability is key to unlocking the flow of value across networks and platforms,” said Daniela Barbosa, general manager of decentralized technologies at the Linux Foundation. Hedera first unveiled CLPR at HederaCon on September 22, and the early adopter program is the next step toward a full market launch.

HBAR, the native token of the Hedera network, traded at $0.09281 at the close of the latest session, marking a 0.99% gain over the previous 24 hours. The coin fluctuated between $0.09115 and a session peak of $0.09667, with market capitalization reported at $4.07 billion and trading volume reaching approximately $150.44 million. The token’s circulating supply is recorded at 43.83 billion HBAR.
HBAR approaches key resistance levels amid choppy tradingThroughout the session, HBAR showed limited volatility, spending much of the day around $0.092 before an uptick in buying pushed the price toward $0.09667. This move briefly brought the token closer to the psychologically important $0.10 level, though the price subsequently retreated, hovering near $0.093 as the market recalibrated.
Sellers capped gains at $0.09667, defining it as immediate resistance for the token. Should HBAR rally further, $0.10 becomes the next major threshold that could reshape market sentiment. On the downside, $0.09115 marked the session’s low, and a decline beneath this level could accelerate a move toward the lower range of HBAR’s recent trading channel.
Against the backdrop of these short-term movements, HBAR continues to trade significantly below its historical high of $0.57, which places the current price approximately 83.7% lower than its record level.
Analyst perspectives: Chart patterns and recovery setupTechnical analyst Lana Valentis has focused on broader recovery patterns visible on the daily chart. Her analysis shows HBAR trading beneath a persistent descending trendline before establishing a rounded base earlier this year. The recent upward momentum broke the token above this former resistance, with price now at the edge of a key green band that represents further resistance.
According to Valentis, the chart suggests a rounding-bottom formation, which could signal the beginning of a more sustained recovery if HBAR can hold above the former trendline and clear the current resistance band.
Price action maps a gradual, rounded structure, with the latest breakout above the descending line suggesting a potential longer-term uptrend contingent on overcoming several resistance zones.
While optimistic, Valentis clarified that the scenario remains speculative, requiring validation from continued market strength and confirmation from follow-through price action.
Further out, ChartNerd’s analysis takes a technical approach using Fibonacci extensions. Using $0.06464 as the start of the current structure, he projects key upper targets at $0.40722, $0.67181, $0.87246, and $1.27001. These levels indicate significant upside potential but would require a prolonged bullish trend and multiple resistance breakouts along the way.
ChartNerd’s projections highlight a directional path, with $0.67 to $1.27 forming the principal target range, though progress will depend on sustained buying and broader market conditions.
For now, the immediate focus remains on whether HBAR can hold above $0.09115 and build momentum past $0.10, which analysts see as essential steps in turning the recovery setup into a confirmed trend.
Meme tokens highlight changing dynamics in crypto tradingAs technical patterns and resistance levels are closely watched, the cryptocurrency market continues to see rapid shifts in attention, especially in meme tokens. In this sector, trends frequently transform into large-scale interest within just days. Fomo App data shows a notable case involving the meme token “Niu Lai,” where a trade of just $99 reportedly grew to around $370,000, illustrating the pace and volatility of meme token markets.
Tracking market entries, token selection, and timing offers valuable insight in this area. Fomo App consolidates token discovery and trading, offering features like social feeds, investor rankings, and trade notifications. The platform aims to help participants navigate the fast-paced world of meme tokens and keep up with changes in investor sentiment.
Code Contribution to facilitate developer participation and experimentation with the new bridgeless cross-ledger protocol Hashgraph is also calling for participants to join the Cross-Ledger Early Adopter Program, which offers full access to a Hashgraph-hosted testnet environment for selected participants , /PRNewswire/ -- Hedera has contributed CLPR (pronounced "clipper"), the bridgeless Cross-Ledger Protocol in development by Hashgraph, to Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust (LFDT) as a new lab.
Hashgraph-Logo Blockchain networks today largely operate as distinct ecosystems — each with its own consensus rules, token standards and execution environment. Assets issued on one ledger are generally unable to interact natively with another. Workarounds such as bridges and wrapped assets have emerged to address this fragmentation, but can introduce additional security risks, intermediaries and liquidity requirements. CLPR aims to address these challenges with a new approach to cross-ledger interoperability and, through LFDT Labs, is inviting the broader open-source developer community to help shape, test and advance the protocol.
"Cross-ledger interoperability is key to unlocking the flow of value across networks and platforms," said Daniela Barbosa, General Manager, Decentralized Technologies, Linux Foundation, and Executive Director, LF Decentralized Trust. "As a new LFDT lab, CLPR will leverage open development to shape a protocol that fuels collaboration across the industry. With this contribution, Hedera is once again showing its commitment to vendor neutral, collaborative development of critical shared technologies."
Bridgeless by design, CLPR uses state proofs to allow ledgers to verify each other's states directly, with no intermediaries in between. Rather than working around the liquidity fragmentation problem with bridges and relayers, CLPR aims to end the "trapped liquidity era" altogether. It establishes cryptographic trust directly between ledgers so CLPR-enabled applications can move tokens, data, and messages freely and securely across networks without a bridge.
Now, as a LFDT lab, CLPR becomes an openly developed codebase. Developers can experiment with the CLPR codebase in the LFDT Labs GitHub repository and explore different use cases. This gives the project a structured path to grow: LFDT Labs enables participants to refine this early-stage work by building a community, inviting contributions and establishing momentum before a project reaches top-level LFDT project status.
Dr. Leemon Baird, Co-Founder at Hedera and Chief Scientist at Hashgraph, said: "Just weeks ago marked the two-year anniversary of Hedera's establishment as a founding Premier Member of the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust, donating the entirety of the Hedera codebase to LFDT as Project Hiero. That commitment to open collaboration is exactly what's needed to solve one of the industry's most persistent problems: network interoperability. When underpinning an application, CLPR is designed to fix that cryptographically so data, assets and messages move freely without a single point of failure to attack. Today's announcement that Hedera is contributing another protocol to LFDT shows that our commitment is only growing, and we're excited to see how developers experiment with CLPR's capabilities."
The contribution of CLPR to the LFDT ecosystem coincides with a call-out for participants to join Hashgraph's Cross-Ledger Early Adopter Program. Involvement is welcomed from financial institutions, fintechs, asset issuers, liquidity providers, and corporations.
The program is structured to focus on three distinct use cases: Cross-border payments and in-flight FX, cross-ledger settlement, and collateral mobility. This 3-phased virtual program offers full access to a Hashgraph-hosted testnet environment, where participants can move real test assets safely using a CLPR-enabled application layer. Technical participants will also have access to an assigned integration expert to support their progress. The program aims to select participants from a range of countries in order to bake in cross-border regulatory and compliance considerations from the beginning.

Hedera [HBAR] joined the UK’s Wholesale Digital Markets Champion Taskforce, strengthening its institutional adoption narrative. Yet the news arrived as HBAR’s rally cooled near $0.10.
Source: X At press time, the token traded around $0.090, down approximately 10% over 24 hours. It had rallied earlier from around $0.07219 before meeting resistance near $0.10.
Profit-taking may have contributed to the rejection. For now, the institutional development and the price correction told different stories.
Were HBAR whales buying the dip? Large traders remained active during HBAR’s correction, although Spot and Futures activity differed.
Spot Average Order Size registered Big Whale Orders. The Spot Volume Bubble Map also entered Overheating territory following the rally.
However, Spot Taker CVD remained Neutral, leaving neither side in clear control of aggressive Spot trading.
Futures Average Order Size registered Big Whale Orders too. Meanwhile, Futures Taker CVD remained Taker Sell Dominant, showing that aggressive sellers continued to challenge the recovery.
Whale-sized orders kept large traders in the picture. Their presence alone, though, did not show whether buyers could defend support.
Source: CryptoQuant/Hedera Spot Average Order Size Could the golden zone reload HBAR? Hedera’s [HBAR] price rejection around the $ 0.10 zone triggered a correction, bringing its Fibonacci retracement structure into focus.
As seen on the daily chart, HBAR price moved towards $0.090, as the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement stood lower at $0.08680.
Notably beneath it, the 0.618 level sat at $0.08335, creating HBAR’s golden zone alongside the 0.5 level.
Notably, a price retracement into this region could introduce a springboard instead of confirming a bearish continuation.
More importantly, the support around the $ 0.085 price level also strengthened the zone as a potential reversal region.
The MACD indicator remained bullish, but the shrinking positive histogram bars suggested fading buying strength following the rally.
The MFI meanwhile had reached 80.85 at reporting time, placing HBAR in overbought territory hence supporting a temporary cooling phase.
Therefore, a strong hold of the golden zone could likely reload demand before challenging the $0.10-supply zone again.

Following that liquidity sweep, the pullback then shifted attention toward liquidation cluster concentrations below the prevailing market price.
Notably, a dense cluster appeared around the $0.088 region, while further liquidity extended towards the $ 0.087 area.
Therefore, HBAR could likely target these lower liquidity concentrations before reaching its nearby Fibonacci support zone.
This liquidity sweep would align with the developing price reset without necessarily invalidating the broader recovery structure.
In fact, grabbing the lower liquidity could prepare Hedera for a fresh demand around the golden zone.

Therefore, the Fib golden region remains important for determining whether the price retracement becomes a springboard towards higher prices.
Final Summary HBAR’s pullback put the $0.088 and $0.087 liquidity clusters in focus. Buyers may need to defend $0.08335–$0.08680 before Hedera [HBAR] can challenge $0.10 again.
A Bridgeless Approach to Blockchain Interoperability@hedera has contributed CLPR (pronounced "clipper"), the bridgeless Cross-Ledger Protocol developed by @hashgraph, to @lfdecentralized (Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust) as a new open-source lab. The move opens the codebase to developers worldwide and represents a meaningful step forward in the long-running effort to make blockchain networks natively interoperable.
Today, blockchain networks largely operate as isolated ecosystems, each with its own consensus rules, token standards, and execution environment. Assets issued on one ledger generally cannot interact natively with another. Workarounds such as bridges and wrapped assets have emerged to fill the gap, but they introduce additional security risks, intermediaries, and liquidity requirements.
CLPR takes a different approach. It uses cryptographic state proofs so that independent blockchain networks can directly verify each other's states, with no intermediaries required. When an application is built on top of it, CLPR can enable assets, data, and messages to move securely across ledgers without bridges, pooled liquidity, or intermediary validator networks. The ideas behind the protocol trace back to Dr. Leemon Baird, co-founder of Hedera and designer of the Hashgraph consensus algorithm.
As an LFDT lab, CLPR enters a structured incubation phase. The lab framework allows projects to build a technical community and invite contributions before applying for top-level LFDT project status. Developers can review the code, propose use cases, and contribute to its ongoing development via the LFDT Labs GitHub repository.
Hashgraph Calls on Banks and Fintechs to Join Testnet ProgramAlongside the open-source contribution, @hashgraph has launched a Cross-Ledger Early Adopter Program and is recruiting participants. Financial institutions, fintechs, asset issuers, liquidity providers, and corporations are all invited to apply. The program is structured around three use cases: cross-border payments and in-flight FX, cross-ledger settlement, and collateral mobility.
The three-phased virtual program gives selected participants full access to a Hashgraph-hosted testnet environment where they can move real test assets using a CLPR-enabled application layer. Each technical participant is also assigned a dedicated integration expert. The program intends to draw participants from multiple countries so that cross-border regulatory and compliance considerations are built in from the start.
CLPR remains early-stage, but the combination of an open-source donation and a structured industry testnet gives the protocol a clearer path toward broader adoption than a typical closed corporate rollout.
