As we know @CanaryFunds have selected $HBAR for an ETF filing. However this came as a big surprise to most of the USA's crypto commentators and analysts.
What led @stevenmcclurg to select $HBAR for a CanaryCapital ETF filing?
South Korea.
Steven's rich tech, gaming, crypto and trad-fi experience had proven to him over the years that Sth Korea could pick trends and world beating initiatives well before the western world.
Sth Korea was years ahead of others for picking 'winners'.
$HBAR is a top 5 traded crypto in Sth Korea and everywhere he travelled in SK he noticed a demand and passion for @Hedera Enterprise and Banking solutions.
This is a must watch YT interview with @NateGeraci where they discuss Canary's ETF filings and the market sentiment in general.
Share and spread the word, $HBAR is king in Korea and hopefully an ETF approval will be in 2025 to coincide with the bull run.
Hedera ($HBAR) is enjoying a moment of success, with its price increasing by 1% to $0.2953, and a massive 76% jump in daily trading volume to $1.39 billion. This surge in interest has boosted Hedera’s market cap significantly, with annual gains of 301% and an impressive 166% rise in just one month.
What’s fuelling this rally? Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas predicts a wave of cryptocurrency ETFs in 2025, and Hedera’s current status of not being labelled security gives it a competitive edge. Such developments keep Hedera in the spotlight, making it one to watch in the coming weeks. #HBARUSDT

Can HBAR Skyrocket to $5 by 2025? Hedera Price Prediction
Hedera (HBAR) is getting more popular in the crypto world. YouTube analyst Cheeky Crypto, with more than 165,000 subscribers, made a video about where he thinks HBAR’s price is headed. The analyst talked about when big price changes might happen, especially in 2025, when HBAR is expected to take off. Cheeky Crypto indicates that Q1 2025 could mark a period of substantial growth for Hedera Hashgraph. Historical data and technical analysis suggest that HBAR’s price may rise to resistance levels between $0.42 and $0.83 during this period. This projection is based on patterns identified in the token’s past performance and broader market trends. The analyst also emphasizes March 2025 as a potential turning point, where profit-taking activities may temporarily cool the market. While such movements could signal the end of an initial aggressive push, analysts believe this pause may not last long, setting the stage for subsequent market activity later in the year.

$BTC BlackRock Recommends 1-2% Bitcoin Allocation in Multi-Asset Portfolios
$BTC
The world’s biggest asset manager with $11.5tn in assets under management, BlackRock, has for the first time called on investors to purchase bitcoin. The firm’s latest report said that investors should allocate 1-2% of their diverse portfolios to BTC. This comes when spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have actually come into existence. They currently have more than $113 Billion in AUM.
BlackRock’s report highlights that a 1-2% Bitcoin allocation offers a balanced approach to incorporating the digital asset into a diversified portfolio. The firm emphasized that exceeding this range could di sproportionately increase portfolio risk. The guide links Bitcoin’s incorporation with BlackRock’s model of a 60/40 equity/bond breakdown.
The manager suggested that investors add to their equity in large-cap technology names such as Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla. Most of them were provided as an addition to the consideration of Bitcoin as a portfolio play. These companies are known as the “Magnificent 7”.
Bitcoin predictions for 2025 are very optimistic. Some analysts predict that Bitcoin could reach around USD 200,000 or more123. Factors supporting this prediction include increasing institutional adoption, the launch of Bitcoin ETFs, and the influence of global economic policies12.
In addition, Bitwise, a leading asset management firm, predicts that Bitcoin will hit a new record due to the massive support from global institutions and increasing adoption4.
