Key Insights:
- Hedera integrates Coinbase on-ramp, enabling direct HBAR purchases via HashPack.
- Grayscale’s HBAR ETF filing advances with SEC review and public comment period.
- Hedera finds support near $0.15 amid demand zone and descending channel confluence.
Hedera is gaining increased attention across the crypto market as a result of key developments in infrastructure, technology, and adoption. Recent updates highlight its performance advantages, energy efficiency, and growing institutional alignment through ETF filings and Coinbase integration.
Hedera Architecture Delivers Scalable Performance
Hedera remained highly differentiated with regard to the enterprise-grade public network architecture as per the latest ecosystem briefings. What makes the platform stand out from traditional blockchains is its mechanism of consensus, Hashgraph, which allows quicker transaction finality, massive scalability, and minimal latency.
Furthermore, Hedera offers a technically advanced and highly efficient alternative to common blockchain models. More so, the protocol uses an asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant (aBFT) system. The system is considered more secure and consistent than Proof of Work or Proof of Stake frameworks found in networks like Ethereum and Cardano.
Additionally, as per comparative results on performance statistics, Hedera can support 10,000 transactions per second (tps) at its throttled capacity. This made it go above the 119 tps of Ethereum and the 1,000 tps of Cardano, but behind the 65,000 tps of Solana.
Hedera also included a linear transaction fee of $0.0001, in sharp contrast to Ethereum, which relies on the flexibility of gas prices.
Therefore, Hedera was faster in terms of average transaction finality, taking 3 to 5 seconds. This placed it in the same league as XRP and better than the 10-15 minutes of Ethereum, and 12-24 hours of Cardano. These measurements indicate that Hedera can support enterprises and high-frequency use cases that need controlled throughput.
Hedera Achieves Energy Efficiency and Regulatory Compliance
Moreover, the data also showed Hedera as the most [energy-efficient] protocol among its peers. The network uses only 0.000003 kWh per transaction. This figure outperformed Solana’s 0.00051 kWh and significantly undercuts Ethereum’s 0.0099 kWh per transaction.
In addition, Hedera is ISO 20022 compliant, which is not a common characteristic and is shared with XRP and Cardano in the table. This placed Hedera in an attractive position to be integrated with the world finance system. Mostly in regulated markets, where the financial systems are interoperable with the traditional payment systems.
The combination of low environmental impact and institutional compliance makes Hedera an attractive option for enterprise adoption and regulatory alignment.
Coinbase Integration and ETF Progress Position Hedera for Expansion
As announced by Coinbase Developer Platform, HashPack, which is the main wallet on the Hedera network, has incorporated on-ramp functionality by Coinbase. Such an addition will enable traders to easily change fiat money into HBAR inside their wallet, which enhances access to the ecosystem by retail consumers.
More so, staking and all-out Hedera tokens assistance is also achievable. Support by Coinbase should make it easier to engage with the expanding Hedera DeFi and enterprise ecosystem by new users, resulting in more utility and transaction volume over the long term.
Parallel to the integration, ETF developments are ongoing. Canary Capital’s HBAR ETF application has been delayed until September 9, 2025. However, Grayscale’s proposal progressed to the public comment stage after the firm filed Form 19b-4 with the U.S. SEC.
Technical Structure Aligns with Market Expansion Efforts
Further, AltCryptoTalk, a Hedera analyst, indicated that the HBAR price maintained a demand zone of $0.12 and $0.15. Hedera is the same range that rallied heavily towards the end of 2024. The current Hedera price action has found itself back at this zone, but recent candles have indications of increased buying pressure.
Besides, the analyst also identified a pattern of a descending channel that has been forming since April 2025, with price action described by low highs and low lows. This pattern, which coincided with the most important support zone, formed a potential reversal point in case the support level is maintained.
In addition, the level of $0.15 is also a psychological barrier. The continued breakout of the upper limit of the descending channel can result in a bounce back to $0.18 and $0.20 resistance. But a fresh decline below the existing support may nullify hype and cause HBAR price to fall within the range of $0.10.
