By CD Analytics , Oliver Knight Sep 12, 2025, 2:44 p.m. "HBAR gains 4% amid ETF speculation and institutional trading, consolidating support at $0.24 despite profit-taking near $0.245 resistance." What to know : HBAR ETF buzz: Grayscale flagged plans for a Hedera trust while the DTCC listed a Canary HBAR ETF under ticker HBR. Institutional flows: Resistance at $0.245 capped gains, with $0.240 holding as a critical support amid heavy trading volumes. Regulatory roadblocks: Analysts warn DTCC listings are preliminary, with SEC approval still required before any ETF launch. Hedera’s native token HBAR posted modest gains during the September 11–12 trading window, climbing from $0.237 to as high as $0.245 before closing at $0.240. The move reflected a surge in institutional participation, with market activity closely tied to fresh developments around potential exchange-traded products. Corporate momentum built after Grayscale Investments revealed plans for a potential HBAR trust and the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) added a Canary HBAR ETF filing to its regulatory database. The listing, under the proposed ticker HBR, accompanied similar submissions for Solana and XRP, underscoring growing Wall Street appetite for digital assets beyond Bitcoin.

Technical resistance at $0.245 triggered profit-taking, while $0.240 emerged as a key institutional support level, reinforced by late-session volume spikes that topped 17 million tokens. Analysts say the speculation could set up a test of the $0.25 psychological threshold if momentum continues. Still, industry observers caution that DTCC inclusions represent only preliminary steps, not SEC approval. Regulators remain focused on addressing market manipulation risks and investor protection standards for non-Bitcoin crypto assets, leaving the timeline for any HBAR-based ETF uncertain. For now, the filings have placed Hedera firmly on Wall Street’s radar, driving institutional attention even amid regulatory fog.
