Hedera $HBAR $faces an uncertain future due to ongoing lawsuits and regulatory risks, similar to $XRP. A 2024 class action alleges deceptive practices by Hedera's council, potentially undermining trust and adoption. Regulatory scrutiny over token classification could impose restrictions, hindering enterprise partnerships. Despite its fast, carbon-negative hashgraph technology, competition from other layer-1 blockchains and a bearish market sentiment may cap price growth. Without significant adoption or legal clarity, HBAR risks stagnation, with forecasts suggesting modest gains to $0.80-$1.00 by 2026#hedera #Hedera HBAR BlockchainInnovation EnterpriseBlockchain CryptoAdoption
