Market sentiment toward Hedera’s HBAR token is lukewarm in 2025 due to several factors. Despite surpassing $0.19 recently with a $8.14 billion market cap (CoinMarketCap, March 16, 2025), HBAR is down 50% from its January peak, per X posts. Adoption lags despite low fees ($0.0001) and high TPS (10k), with declining TVL and limited staking incentives dampening enthusiasm. Competition from chains like Solana and regulatory uncertainty around a potential HBAR ETF add pressure. X users note bearish trends, with some predicting a drop to $0.09 due to a 3B HBAR release. RSI at 38.79 (CoinCodex) signals neutrality, not bullishness, reflecting cautious optimism overshadowed by market volatility and shifting hype.
