Hedera Makes U.S. ETF Debut
Hedera (HBAR) reached a major milestone with the launch of the first U.S. spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) dedicated to the token.

Growing Network Adoption and Enterprise Use
Beyond the ETF, Hedera’s ecosystem continues to expand.

Total value locked (TVL) surged 67% to over $230 million, while stablecoin supply reached $170 million, driven largely by USDC growth. Partnerships with major corporations like Google and IBM, as well as participation in central bank digital currency (CBDC) pilots, highlight Hedera’s expanding credibility and enterprise utility.

While some bear market pressure is evident, technical indicators suggest the possibility of bullish rebounds, especially as institutional interest grows alongside adoption of Hedera’s technology. This combination of network growth and ETF accessibility positions HBAR for potential market momentum in late 2025.
