Hedera’s token HBAR saw increased institutional participation during the Sept. 11–12 trading window, rising from $0.237 to a session high of $0.245 before closing at $0.240. The move followed fresh developments around potential exchange-traded products that have drawn Wall Street’s attention to the network.

Momentum picked up after Grayscale Investments disclosed plans for a possible HBAR trust and the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) listed a Canary HBAR ETF filing in its database under the proposed ticker HBR. The filing appeared alongside similar submissions for Solana and XRP, highlighting growing institutional interest in digital assets beyond Bitcoin.

Traders reacted quickly to the headlines. Profit-taking emerged at resistance near $0.245, while $0.240 solidified as a key support level, bolstered by late-session volumes topping 17 million tokens. Analysts said speculation could drive another attempt at the $0.25 psychological barrier if momentum holds.

Still, experts caution that DTCC listings are preliminary steps rather than guarantees of SEC approval. Regulators continue to scrutinize non-Bitcoin crypto ETFs, citing market manipulation risks and investor protection standards, leaving the timeline for an HBAR product uncertain.
