Hedera (HBAR) climbed to $0.21 on October 28 after surging more than 16% in 24 hours, lifting its market cap from $7.6 billion to $8.84 billion and adding over $1 billion in a single day.
HBAR’s rally coincides with a landmark development for institutional adoption: Nasdaq has posted the official listing circular for the Canary HBAR ETF (Ticker: HBR), which begins trading today.
The ETF will provide direct spot exposure to HBAR, with custody handled by BitGo and Coinbase Custody, and pricing powered by CoinDesk Indices. Notably, the product marks a watershed moment, opening the door for regulated inflows from traditional finance and signaling a new level of legitimacy for Hedera’s native token.
AI predicts Hedera price for end of 2025
In parallel with the ETF launch, Finbold’s AI prediction agent, powered by models including Claude Sonnet 4 and GPT-4o, has issued a 60-day outlook for HBAR. The system projects an average price of $0.245, implying a potential gain of about 17.8% from current levels.
Within that forecast range, the upside scenario reaches roughly $0.27 while the downside case sits closer to $0.22, highlighting the importance of sustained institutional flows in shaping the path forward.
Meanwhile, separately asked ChatGPT-5 forecasted that if ETF volumes build steadily and Hedera’s fundamentals remain intact, a move into the $0.25–$0.30 zone by the end of 2025 looks realistic.
Without sustained inflows, price action is more likely to consolidate between $0.22 and $0.24, which aligns with the AI’s more conservative scenario. The key variable will be whether the ETF attracts consistent allocations beyond the initial launch buzz, turning HBAR into a serious contender for institutional crypto portfolios rather than just a short-term trade.
