Hedera benefits from the momentum of major corporations despite short-term market volatility – here are the latest updates:
Increased corporate adoption (August 11, 2025) – Major companies like Google and Standard Bank expand their use of Hedera for asset tokenization.
Increased speculation around ETF (August 11, 2025) – Growing talk of BlackRock potentially filing for an ETF on HBAR.
Price pressure (August 11, 2025) – Outflows of $6.42 million from HBAR with negative technical signals.
Detailed analysis
1. Increased corporate adoption (August 11, 2025)
Overview:
Hedera confirmed the expanded participation of companies from the Fortune 500 list, such as Google, IBM, and Boeing, in network governance, along with Standard Bank's adoption of Hedera's infrastructure for real asset tokenization. The network council now oversees 33% of global supply chain experiments using DLT technology.
What does this mean?
This strengthens long-term demand for HBAR, as companies use digital tokens directly in transactions and staking. However, adoption cycles typically take 6 to 12 months to significantly impact token economics (CoinMarketCap).
2. Increased speculation around ETF (August 11, 2025)
Overview:
Unconfirmed rumors have spread on crypto-specialized Twitter regarding BlackRock’s readiness to submit a direct ETF application for HBAR, resulting in a temporary price increase of 5% before it fell back. Nasdaq had previously filed in February 2025 for the Canary Capital HBAR ETF, which is still under review by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
What does this mean?
Although unconfirmed, these speculations reflect growing institutional interest in Hedera’s regulatory-compliant position. Approval of an ETF could lead to inflows exceeding $1 billion, but delays from the Securities and Exchange Commission are expected to continue until Q4 2025 (John Morgan).
3. Price pressure (August 11, 2025)
Overview:
The price of HBAR fell by 4.66% over 24 hours with immediate outflows of $6.42 million, diverging from broader market gains. Technical indicators show a negative Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) at -0.07, with close support testing at $0.2591, despite the total value locked in decentralized finance (DeFi TVL) recovering to $270 million, an 88% increase since the beginning of the year.
What does this mean?
Outflows indicate profit-taking after a 49% rise in July. Traders are watching the support level at $0.2591, where a break could trigger a wave of stop-loss orders, while holding above it may indicate consolidation and buying (CoinMarketCap).
Summary
Hedera combines the momentum of corporate adoption and ETF opportunities, against short-term technical challenges, creating a situation characterized by high confidence and significant volatility. Will institutional flows materialize before retail traders capitulate? Watch the consolidation area between $0.25 and $0.27 for directional signals.
