HBAR Soars 70% in 30 Days on Stablecoin Growth and Institutional Adoption

HBAR, the native token of the Hedera Hashgraph network, has seen a notable price surge in recent weeks, rising over 70% in the last 30 days. This upward momentum has drawn attention from traders, institutions, and industry analysts, many of whom point to several structural advantages that could support further price appreciation into 2025.

One key development driving interest in HBAR is the rapid adoption of stablecoins on the network. Hedera now hosts over $212 million in native USDC, with the growth rate spiking by more than 146% month-over-month, even before the enactment of the Genius Act in the U.S. Post-regulation, stablecoin activity continued to rise by 14% within a week. This growth is largely attributed to the launch of Stablecoin Studio, a specialized toolkit designed for banks and institutions to issue compliant digital assets. Features such as proof of reserves and high-speed settlement are positioning Hedera as a preferred platform for digital dollar issuance [1].

Retail accessibility is also expanding, with HBAR recently listed on Robinhood, one of the largest trading platforms in the U.S. The listing coincided with a price increase from $0.24 to $0.27, signaling renewed interest from everyday investors. Notably, Kevin O’Leary, a well-known investor and television personality, endorsed HBAR as one of his top crypto picks, further boosting its visibility and appeal [1].

Institutional adoption is another promising sign. Hedera recently facilitated the first-ever tokenized forex trade in the U.K., with Aberdine Investments and Lloyds Bank using tokenized GBP on the platform. This milestone not only highlights the network’s growing role in traditional finance but also opens the door for more high-volume financial applications. In addition, several firms, including Grayscale and Canary, have filed applications for Hedera-related ETFs, with potential approvals expected as early as Q4 2025 [1].

Looking ahead, the combination of enterprise adoption, regulatory clarity, and retail and institutional interest suggests that HBAR could continue to outperform broader market trends. While the price has already climbed significantly, analysts argue that these fundamentals are just beginning to take hold. As tokenized assets and AI integrations gain traction, Hedera’s position as a scalable and energy-efficient blockchain could become increasingly valuable [1].
