HBAR price has remained in a narrow range in the past few weeks. Hedera was trading at $0.0915, down by over 77% from its highest point in 2025. The coin may be on the cusp of a strong bearish breakdown as key risks rise.

Hedera Faces Major Unlock as ETF Inflows Slow

The HBAR price is facing some major headwinds in the near term. The first main one is the upcoming large token unlock that releases billions of tokens. 

It will unlock over 3.7 billion tokens this quarter, bringing the total tokens in circulation to over 46 billion. This will be one of its biggest unlock ever. Token unlocks normally put pressure on a cryptocurrency by increasing those in circulation.

Hedera price is also facing the major headwind in that spot HBAR ETF inflows have slowed substantially in the past few months. The finds have added just $2.3 million this month, bringing the total net assets to over $53.9 million. The total assets are much lower than the cumulative inflows of $96 million.

Most importantly, Hedera’s network is not doing well, with the total value locked (TVL) being less than $60 million. This is a small amount in an industry with nearly $90 billion in assets. It is also much lower than many new networks like Plasma and Monad.

The network’s stablecoin supply has also plunged from over $140 million to $58 million today. Again, this is a tiny amount considering that the industry has over $320 billion in assets. 

Also, it is a tiny amount since Hedera launched the Stablecoin Studio platform to help companies launch their stablecoins. These numbers mean that, despite its partnership with some of the top companies in crypto, Hedera is a ghost chain.

The weekly timeframe chart shows that the HBAR price has been in a downward trend in the past few months, moving from a high of $0.4012 in January last year to $0.091 today.

Hedera token has dropped below all moving averages, a sign that bears are in control. It also formed a double-top-like pattern, a common bearish reversal sign.

The token remains below the Supertrend indicator. Therefore, HBAR price will likely have a strong bearish breakdown in the near term, potentially to the next key support at $0.050.
