- Hedera’s HBAR is up by 4% today, March 24, 2026.
- HBAR is to be listed on Japanese exchange BitTrade on March 25, 2026.
- Crypto influencer believes that HBAR is undervalued.
Hedera’s native token, HBAR, climbed more than 4% today, March 24, 2026 as per CoinMarketCap. With this surge, the token is currently hovering around the $0.0926 mark and it is in line with Bitcoin’s gain.
This uptick rides a wave of broader market optimism that has been triggered by the recent geopolitical de-escalation (Trump putting a pause on major strikes in Iran). Even though this is one of the reasons why the price of the token surged but the other catalyst that has also helped push the price of the token is the upcoming listing on Japan’s BitTrade exchange.
At press time, the price of the token stands at $0.09290 with an uptick of 4.23% in the last 24-hours as per CoinMarketCap.
BitTrade Listing Ignites Demand
The standout driver behind HBAR’s performance is the BitTrade announcement to support HBAR deposits, withdrawals. The trading, according to the announcement on X, will begin from tomorrow March 25, 2026. With this development, the Japanese users will also be able to invest in this token.

As soon as the announcement was made public, the trading volume exploded. As it can be seen from the above screenshot, the trading volume has increased by 77.87% in the last 24-hours. This number indicates that the investors are strongly anticipating this token to be released within the Japanese market.
Exchange listings usually spark short-term rallies as they boost liquidity and draw in fresh capital. For Hedera, which has focused on enterprise-grade blockchain solutions, this could mark a pivotal step into Asia’s compliant crypto ecosystem. Traders are positioning early, betting on heightened accessibility to fuel near-term demand.
However, it has been observed that such surge usually cools off once the hype fades and hence there is a risk of sudden pullback as well.
Bitcoin Beta and Regulatory Boost
HBAR did not move alone. It has moved almost along with Bitcoin, as the token recovered after President Trump put a pause on planned attacks on Iran. This news provided relief in the Middle East and sparked a risk-on rally across the crypto market. This macro tailwind amplified HBAR’s gains, turning a modest rebound into great gains.
Adding to fuel to this fire is Hedera’s favorable regulatory standing. In a recent joint statement, issued by the SEC and CFTC, classified HBAR as a “digital commodity” and not a security. This development provided a great amount of clarity and stripped off uncertainty that existed around the token.
The clarity is in line with Hedera’s council driven governance model, which prioritizes compliance and real-world utility in areas like supply chain and payments. Bullish sentiment around this narrative persists, especially as the proposed CLARITY Act aims to enshrine such classifications into law, potentially unlocking institutional flows.
Technical Outlook
The token now tests support at the 7-day exponential moving average of $0.0919. Holding above this could propel a retest of resistance near the 30-day simple moving average at $0.0964, a breakout there might flip the script on the prevailing downtrend.
On the flip side, a slip below $0.0919 risks cascading toward the recent Fibonacci swing low at $0.0881, where buyers could step in again. Volume remains the wildcard, the BitTrade hype has increased participation but sustaining it post-listing will dictate momentum.
HBAR Seen as Undervalued Bet on Institutional Adoption
Crypto influencer, CryptoSensei, posted on X and stated that there is a disconnect between HBAR’s current price and its underlying fundamentals. The influencer thinks that the network is undervalued even though there is a steady growth in enterprise adoption.
This might be one of the most overlooked setups going into 2026.

As everybody is focusing on institutional access through products such as ETFs and other compliant investment vehicles, some believe HBAR could see a significant rise if capital inflows accelerate.
The broader narrative highlights Hedera’s real-world utility and scalability, with proponents arguing that continued adoption could eventually be reflected in its market valuation.
