Institutional investors are back buying Hedera’s (HBAR) dip, preceding the launch of HBAR trading on Coinbase’s Future offerings. Kicking off on December 5, 2025, the listing news attracted strong buying power on Coinbase’s Spot markets.
Coinbase News Lifts HBAR Whale Spirit
Even though the broader HBAR crypto whale sentiment remains dubious, large investors on Coinbase actively purchased the altcoin on Monday, pushing the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) to 0.08, while this figure remains negative on most other top exchanges.
Despite briefly crossing over the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) trend-line today, HBAR’s price pulled back below it, signaling that bears are still slightly dominating the markets. The duel between HBAR’s bulls & bears is also evident in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) dwelling in neutrality at 50, while the Bull Bear Power (BBP) scales are almost evenly balanced.
Main Driver For HBAR’s Bounce-Back
From a technical perspective, Hedera’s (HBAR) market price is forming a triple bottom line in the accumulation region of $0.11 to $0.14. Last Summer, a bounce from this level took the popular Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) powering altcoin to roughly $0.30, while the first bounce last December saw HBAR spiking to $0.35, which is also the yearly high.
As market connoisseurs like Marzell are now looking forward to HBAR’s price bounce from this major demand territory, the altcoin’s chances of melting faces in the rebound rally will massively depend on the HBAR’s ETF appeal to ETF investors, as Grayscale, 515 bigger than Canary by assets under management (AUM), is preparing their own Hedera ETF version by year-end.
How Are Hedera’s ETF Faring So Far?
Debuting on October 31, 2025, Canary’s Hedera ETF started off strong, netting $56 million inflows during the first four days of trading on NASDAQ. However, lurking macroeconomic data spelled trouble for this altcoin-based ETF, slowing down the income from traditional stock markets, says real-time data from SoSoValue.
In November, the total value traded barely reached $2 million on a regular day. Waning interest in trading Canary’s HBAR ETF on NASDAQ can be associated with the all-around market drop. Finding its foot at $81K, Bitcoin (BTC) led the bounce back rally this weekend to $87K, but wasn’t able to lift itself back above the $90K resistance level.
