♻️In 2025, one of the most notable events related to large purchases of Hedera tokens (HBAR) occurred in December 2024. There was significant activity from large investors, which led to a significant increase in the token price and trading volumes.
📈 Key events:
• Date: December 2, 2024
• Price increase: HBAR rose 47% in 24 hours, reaching a seven-month high of $0.253
• Trading volume: increased 323%, reaching $3.46 billion
• Open interest: increased 76%, amounting to $324 million
• Large holder activity: the number of addresses with a balance of 100 million HBAR has increased by more than 20% since August 
This data indicates significant interest from large investors in the HBAR token during this period. However, specific details about the largest single purchases, such as exact amounts or dates, are not disclosed in open sources.
There may be several reasons why HBAR (Hedera Hashgraph) is relatively “quiet” in the information space, and they are not always obvious. Here are the main ones:
1. The technology is too advanced - and incomprehensible to the masses
HBAR is not a blockchain, but Hashgraph, a completely different technology.
It has its advantages:
• high speed (up to 10,000+ transactions per second),
• finalization of transactions in 3-5 seconds,
• low fees.
But most crypto enthusiasts do not fully understand how it works. And if the product is difficult to explain in a few words - there is no hype.

2. Centralized Management
The HBAR network is managed by a Governance Council of giants such as Google, IBM, LG, Boeing, Deutsche Telekom, etc.
This causes:
• trust among institutions,
• but wariness among the crypto community, which loves decentralization.
Some believe that Hedera is “too corporate” and not for the people.
⸻‼️‼️
3. Lack of Marketing
Hedera spends little on influencers, YouTube and TikTok campaigns.
There is no noise like “HBAR to the moon” - everything is quite quiet and professional.

4. HBAR is more focused on B2B and the public sector
Hedera is used for:
• tracking carbon emissions,
• documents in government structures,
• tokenization of assets in banks and corporations.
This is not something that a mass retail investor will easily “digest”.
This approach is long-term, quiet, but strategically strong.

5. Just forgotten... for now
The crypto market often moves in “waves of attention”. HBAR was already in focus in 2021, when it grew to $0.57. Now it is gaining interest again after the recent pump.
Many are “silent” because they are looking for quick X’s, and HBAR is still moving steadily and fundamentally. But “smart money” is already entering - as can be seen from the whale activity.
