Over the last week, the asset has surged 14.6%, defying market turbulence. Its trading volume spiked 50% on Friday

Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) has been making headlines in the crypto market with its impressive performance despite broader economic turbulence. Over the last week, the asset surged 14.6%, and its trading volume spiked 50% on Friday, surpassing $650 million.
As both whales and retail investors continue to pour into HBAR, the question isn’t whether it can hit $1, but rather how high it can go.
Currently, Hedera is trading at $0.25, but analysts at CoinCodex project much more room to run. According to their latest price predictions, HBAR is expected to rise to $0.46 by March.
If their projections materialize, it would represent a 94% surge from today’s price. However, some analysts believe that even a 55-cent price target would be a conservative estimate for the year’s high.
One of the biggest catalysts for the recent 20% surge in Hedera’s price is the growing speculation of an HBAR exchange-traded fund (ETF). A recent filing from DEGI sparked fresh interest in the possibility of an ETF, adding fuel to the bullish narrative.
If an ETF gets approved, it could be a game-changer for HBAR, just like we saw with Bitcoin following its ETF launches earlier this year. An ETF would bring in institutional money, pushing the asset toward its projected highs.
With altcoin season on the horizon, HBAR isn’t the only major asset gearing up for significant gains. Other top assets, including Ripple’s XRP and Solana (SOL), are also preparing for explosively high price movements.
As we’ve observed in previous market cycles, when Bitcoin stabilizes or moves sideways, we typically see altcoins experience explosive rallies.
If that pattern continues to hold, it seems that Hedera’s bullish trend could continue far beyond the current targets set by analysts. With increasing adoption, a strong technical setup, and macroeconomic factors aligning, the altcoin appears to be in prime position for a sustained breakout.
While a $10 price tag might be a long-term dream, reaching $1 seems more likely than ever. If the current momentum holds, we could see another 50% jump in the coming months. Ultimately, whether HBAR reaches the projected highs will depend on market conditions and continued adoption. But one thing is certain—we’ll be keeping a close eye on Hedera Hashgraph.
