In Depth Insights about HBAR
If one delves further into the report, there are more reasons for cheer.
HBAR’s market cap amongst other altcoins has increased from 46th to 18th. This has led to HBAR listing higher on many exchanges than industry stalwarts like Polkadot or Uniswap.
At the end of Quarter 4 2025 there were 38.3 billion HBAR in circulation. This represents 76.6% of the total 50 billion supply. Of these HBARs 20.6 billion were reported to be staked. This is 54% of the current circulation of tokens. The HBAR Foundation’s DeFi growth initiative made liquid staking a priority. Staking is not yet mature on HBAR, but 8.2% of HBAR staked is receiving rewards on Hedera.
Major DeFi expansion is a consistent message throughout the report. It highlights the growth of new protocols and integrations, pointing at increased usage and liquidity within the network.
Stablecoins is another area that Hedera has been commended for. Low fees and high scalability make Hedera stablecoins an appealing option for real-world transactions.
The report is consistent with the growth trajectory of HBAR. It highlights the growth of the ecosystem and the increase in popularity of the HBAR token. As a strong utility token, the future for HBAR is bright.
