Canary Capital's recent move to launch an HBAR ETF marks a significant milestone in the institutional investment landscape for Hedera. With the ETF now holding nearly 1% of the total HBAR token supply, this development signals a shift away from retail speculation towards more regulated investment avenues. The source notes that this trend could pave the way for further institutional interest in the cryptocurrency market.
Canary Capital HBAR ETF Accumulates Significant Holdings
As of December 24, 2025, the Canary Capital HBAR ETF has accumulated approximately 473 million HBAR tokens, which represents about 0.95% of Hedera's capped supply of 50 billion tokens. This substantial holding underscores the increasing interest from institutional investors in Hedera's ecosystem, as they seek compliant and secure ways to invest in digital assets.
Launch and Impact of the HBAR ETF
Launched on October 28, 2025, the ETF offers a streamlined pathway for investors to gain exposure to HBAR without the complexities of managing private keys. This move is indicative of a broader trend where regulated investment products are becoming more attractive to institutions. It potentially paves the way for further adoption of HBAR and similar cryptocurrencies in the financial markets.
