- HBAR grabs attention after the Hedera Foundation joined the race to acquire TikTok’s U.S. division, sparking renewed interest and fueling a rapid price rebound, briefly flipping Toncoin in global rankings.
- Momentum builds as NASDAQ files a 19b-4 form with the SEC for a potential HBAR ETF, while analysts predict a price climb to $0.504—just under its all-time high—with long-term targets as high as $0.96.
- Currently trading at $0.1736, HBAR is positioned for possible growth if bullish sentiment continues and ETF speculation gains traction, especially with talk of Hedera competing with Ripple for SWIFT integration.
Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) has been making waves again—and not just within crypto circles. The project caught the mainstream’s eye recently after the Hedera Foundation threw its hat into the ring to buy TikTok’s U.S. operations, a bold move that’s already stirring buzz.
Meanwhile, as broader crypto markets cooled a bit following the ripple effects of Trump’s global tariff rollout, HBAR didn’t wait around. In fact, it staged one of the fastest rebounds among major altcoins—a comeback that’s got analysts and traders alike asking: is this just the beginning?
HBAR Breaks Into Top 15, Briefly Flips Toncoin
At one point, Hedera overtook Toncoin (TON) to snatch the 14th spot in global crypto rankings. The token clocked a 3.2% gain in 24 hours, pushing its market cap up to a solid $7.22 billion. Not too shabby for a coin that many had counted out not long ago.
Now, with HBAR and Ripple (XRP) both eyeing SWIFT integration—yes, that SWIFT—the stakes just got higher in the race to become a go-to for global finance.
Will HBAR Hit $0.50… or Even $1?
The recent chatter around a possible HBAR ETF only added fuel to the fire. Just last week, NASDAQ filed a 19b-4 form with the SEC, proposing a Hedera ETF. That alone is a big deal—and it’s already pushing HBAR back into bullish territory.
Crypto analyst Javon Marks, who’s been closely watching the charts, thinks $0.504 is the next big milestone. That’s just about 7 cents short of HBAR’s all-time high of $0.569, which it hit more than three years ago.
But that might just be the appetizer.
Marks says if HBAR consolidates around this range and gains enough momentum, the price could stretch way further. He’s targeting $0.962 eventually—a near 180% increase from today’s levels. Could $1 be in the cards? It’s not off the table.
Current Price and What’s Next
Right now, HBAR is trading at about $0.1736, per CoinGecko. That’s still well below the highs, but if the ETF narrative builds and Hedera stays in the spotlight with moves like the TikTok bid… well, the next few months could get interesting.
