Hedera’s native token HBAR logged modest gains during the Sept. 11–12 trading window, climbing from $0.237 to a high of $0.245 before closing at $0.240. The move reflected stronger institutional activity, spurred by new developments around potential exchange-traded products.

Momentum built after Grayscale Investments announced plans for a possible HBAR trust and the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) added a Canary HBAR ETF filing under the proposed ticker HBR to its database. The listing, filed alongside similar proposals for Solana and XRP, signaled that Wall Street’s appetite for digital assets is expanding beyond Bitcoin.

Markets responded quickly to the news. Resistance near $0.245 prompted profit-taking, while $0.240 solidified as a support level thanks to late-session volume spikes topping 17 million tokens. Analysts noted that if buying momentum continues, HBAR could attempt to break through the $0.25 psychological barrier.

Still, industry experts caution that DTCC filings are early procedural steps rather than signs of imminent approval. The SEC continues to scrutinize non-Bitcoin crypto ETFs, with concerns over market manipulation and investor safeguards. That leaves the timeline for any HBAR-based product uncertain.
