Hedera has been turning heads lately. The token is up more than 70% over the past 30 days, and at one point, it was up as much as 90%. 

While most of the market has been moving sideways or slipping slightly, HBAR price has been quietly climbing. And according to a new video from Altcoin Buzz, there are some solid reasons behind the move, reasons that could help HBAR reach even higher levels in 2025.

Altcoin Buzz, a YouTube channel with over 465,000 subscribers, broke down what’s driving the momentum and why this might just be the beginning for Hedera. 

The host pointed out three big trends that are helping HBAR stand out, and none of them have anything to do with hype or memes.

One major factor is the explosive growth of stablecoins on Hedera, especially USDC. The network now hosts more than $212 million in native USDC, and that number has been growing fast. 

A huge chunk of that growth, over 146% month-over-month, actually started before the Genius Act was passed in the U.S. And after the law went live, stablecoin activity still jumped another 14% in just a week.

A lot of that growth is thanks to something called Stablecoin Studio, a toolkit built for banks and institutions that want to issue compliant stablecoins. It’s designed to make the process fast, cheap, and regulation-friendly. 

With features like proof of reserves, treasury tools, and high-speed performance, Stablecoin Studio is helping Hedera become a go-to platform for digital dollars.

Retail access is also expanding. HBAR was recently listed on Robinhood, one of the most popular trading platforms in the U.S. 

That alone gave a new wave of retail traders access to the token. Even while the market was mostly flat, the HBAR price climbed from around $0.24 to $0.27 after the listing.

The video also mentioned Kevin O’Leary, yes, Mr. Wonderful, who gave HBAR a shoutout as one of his top picks. That kind of endorsement always helps with visibility, especially during a strong uptrend.

The third key reason? Institutional interest. Hedera recently hosted one of the first-ever tokenized forex trades in the U.K. 

Aberdine Investments and Lloyds Bank used tokenized GBP on Hedera to complete the deal. It’s a first for the region, and it could open the door to a lot more high-volume use cases in the future.

On top of that, ETF speculation is heating up. Firms like Grayscale and Canary have already filed applications tied to Hedera. 

Some decisions could come as early as Q4, according to the video. With more attention on real-world asset tokenization and AI use cases, Hedera is positioning itself as a serious player in both traditional finance and next-gen blockchain sectors.

So while HBAR price recent rally might look surprising at first glance, there’s a lot more going on under the surface, and if these trends continue, 2025 could be a big year.
