Hedera’s native token, HBAR, has captured the spotlight with over 44% price surge in the last 24 hours, reaching $0.25 and a market cap of over $9.3 billion, according to Coingecko. The bullish momentum continued with a 74% increase over the past week, fueled by rising social sentiment and market enthusiasm.
HBAR has experienced notable price fluctuations since its launch. It hit a peak of $0.576 in 2021 during the crypto bull market but declined sharply during the subsequent bear market, consistent with broader industry trends. However, in November 2024, HBAR pumped from $0.043 to 0.2, almost 266% pump.
Hedera’s core strengths remain intact, with the network emphasizing enterprise-grade applications like supply chain management and carbon offset tracking, which drive ongoing utility and adoption. Despite the bearish sentiment in 2024, the token’s stability has raised expectations for a potential recovery in the next market cycle.
Analysts predict a potential rebound in HBAR’s value, driven by broader crypto market growth and increased use of Hedera’s enterprise solutions. Forecasts suggest the token could trade between $0.27 and $0.68, with an average value of $0.35.
By 2030, HBAR might reach a peak of $10.46 in an optimistic scenario, while more conservative projections place its value between $1.6 and $3.6. This growth depends on its success in competing with Ethereum as a smart contract platform and expanding its ecosystem.
Some bold predictions suggest HBAR could soar to $25-$35, assuming widespread adoption and strong enterprise partnerships. Although speculative, these projections excite long-term investors.
