Hedera price chart (HBAR/USD)
What is Hedera (HBAR)?
Hedera is a public network built for fast, low-cost transactions, and HBAR is its native token. It was founded by Leemon Baird and Mance Harmon, and the network opened to the public in September 2019.
Instead of a chain of blocks, Hedera uses the hashgraph consensus algorithm. Nodes share what they know about transactions with one another, and the network agrees on their order without mining. It reaches final settlement in a few seconds and has a very low energy footprint.
HBAR is used to pay network fees, and it can be staked to help secure the network and earn rewards. The network is overseen by the Hedera Governing Council, made up of up to 39 organizations such as Google, IBM, Boeing and Deutsche Telekom.

What moves the Hedera price?
ETFs and institutional products
US-listed HBAR exchange-traded funds began trading in late 2025. Fund inflows give a measurable view of institutional interest.
Enterprise adoption
Hedera is used by large companies for tokenization, supply-chain tracking and data logging. Announcements from Council members and new partners often lead to price reactions.
Network activity
Transaction counts, active accounts and the amount of value held on Hedera show whether real usage is growing.
Tokenization and stablecoins
Tokenized funds, bonds and stablecoins on Hedera can raise demand for HBAR, because every transaction pays a fee.
Staking and token supply
More HBAR staked means less available to trade. Scheduled releases from the treasury add to circulating supply over time.
The wider crypto market
Like most altcoins, HBAR tends to follow Bitcoin. Strong market-wide rallies lift it and sharp selloffs pull it back.
