Hedera’s HBAR token has surged 24.7% to a four-month high of $0.258, posting a 56.6% weekly gain and briefly surpassing Chainlink in market capitalization amid growing institutional interest.
Strategic artificial intelligence partnerships with EQTY Lab, NVIDIA, SCAN UK, and Accenture Public Sector are fueling momentum. These collaborations focus on building verifiable compute infrastructure for advanced AI systems using Hedera’s enterprise-grade blockchain solutions.
The token received significant validation through its inclusion in the Grayscale Smart Contract Platform Fund and a recent listing on Kraken exchange. These developments strengthened market confidence in the U.S.-based blockchain amid increasing institutional adoption.
Technical analysts suggest HBAR could challenge its all-time high of $0.56 if bullish conditions persist, projecting a potential climb toward the $0.70 threshold.
Meanwhile, the broader ‘Made in USA’ cryptocurrency sector including HBAR saw its combined market capitalization increase 6% to $496 billion, highlighting network effects between American blockchain developments.
