Hedera token HBAR is at $0.18801, up nearly 12% in the last week, as it nears a key resistance level that investors are monitoring. The $0.20 level may mark a new era for the token, which has posted consistent gains despite an 18% decline in daily trading volume to $165 million.
Kenya Stock Market Selects Hedera For Digital Exchange
The new price action comes as Kenya’s financial sector makes a major foray into blockchain technology. Media reports the Nairobi Securities Exchange has chosen the Kenya Digital Exchange (KDX) to launch on Hedera’s network. The move is seen to be a key real-world use case for Hedera in the growing category of tokenized assets.
Growing optimism over the future of HBAR is emerging among social media analysts. Charts presented by market commentator Gilmore Estates reveal an HBAR breakout from the consolidation pattern created at the end of 2023.

Tech indicators like moving average crossovers validate the bullish sentiment together with robust volume, while the token has inked price levels unseen since mid-2022.
In February 2025, HBAR applied for a spot Exchange-Traded Product, equivalent to an ETF on traditional markets. The SEC needs to make the final decision about the application on or before November 11, 2025.
Bloomberg analysts have issued a rating on the chances of approval at 80%, highlighting positive market dynamics and increasing demand from institutional clients. Approval with success would flood Hedera with significant new capital from traditional financial sectors.
Corporate Giants Support Hedera’s Enterprise Platform
As opposed to most cryptocurrency initiatives, Hedera has a governance structure composed of some of the biggest names in the tech sector. This arrangement lends institutional legitimacy to the network, which takes a different technical strategy than other blockchains.
According to reports, Hedera’s technology is rooted in Hashgraph, a Directed Acyclic Graph architecture that supports transactions of high throughput and rapid finality.
Focusing On RWAs
The network has concentrated on real-world applications rather than speculation, such as ESG tokens via its Guardian platform, real estate tokenization with TOKO, and green bonds through Evercity.
Meanwhile, as meme coins and newer blockchain ventures make the news with explosive price action, HBAR is playing a different game focused on infrastructure, regulatory compliance, and business adoption.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
