HBAR--
The heaviest selling activity occurred during the final hour of Sept. 1 trading, with approximately 3.5 million tokens changing hands in a single minute. This rapid decline caused the token to breach multiple support levels and close the session near its lows. Despite the downturn, Hedera continues to position itself as a platform for enterprise adoption. Daily trading volume fell by 46% to $172.85 million, while the network maintained a market capitalization near $9.5 billion [1].
Hedera's HBAR token is the native utility token used for transaction gas fees on the network, which utilizes Hashgraph, an alternative distributed ledger technology to blockchain. The platform's features and capabilities, including its transaction speed and efficiency, make it suitable for applications requiring real-time, scalable, and affordable crypto-payments. Hedera's smart contract tools enable the development of decentralized applications, and its decentralized file storage services offer features like proof-of-deletion and controlled mutability [2].
