Hedera (HBAR) Now Listed on Robinhood U.S. AllinCrypto July 25, 2025
On July 25, 2025, Robinhood Markets officially listed Hedera (HBAR) for spot trading on its U.S. platform. This listing comes as Robinhood continues to diversify and expand the number of digital assets it supports. HBAR now joins legacy relisted altcoins such as XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA), which were all relisted in November 2024.
Robinhood had previously made HBAR available in the UK (along with Lido Finance’s LDO) in January, prior to Robinhood’s U.S. rollout.
Market Response
After the listing announcement:
- HBAR price spiked about 7% it was trading around $0.25, up about 3–4% in 24h
- CoinGape noted a 2% intraday rise, and highlighted broader market gains of about 30% over the past 30 days, with a 9% drop in the past week
- HBAR was among the top gainers in the top 20 cryptos, driven by exposure to Robinhood’s large retail audience and speculation surrounding an upcoming HBAR ETF
Strategic Implications
Robinhood’s move is part of a larger strategy:
- Diversification: Robinhood recently began adding memecoins (e.g. PEPE, PENGU, PNUT, POPCAT) and DeFi or Layer-2 tokens (e.g. Arbitrum) alongside staples like BTC and ETH
- Platform reach: Robinhood boasts more than 20 million monthly active users, the majority being mobile-first retail traders. This opens up HBAR to a much larger mainstream audience
- Regulatory tailwinds: This decision aligns with a relatively crypto-friendly U.S. regulatory environment, emerging ahead of the 2024 Trump administration election and following easing SEC enforcement actions in recent weeks
Community Perception & Demand
The Hedera community has expressed frustration over perceived delays in listing HBAR on Robinhood, despite prior roadmap mentions. As one Redditor noted:
“Spot HBAR has been on their list (or ‘roadmap’) for some time now … they could definitely list the asset today if they wanted.”
This sentiment highlights persistent demand for HBAR on retail trading platforms like Robinhood, though listing constraints may have stemmed from internal exchange considerations.
What’s Next for HBAR?
- Increased Liquidity & Price Potential: Expectations of higher retail inflows could push HBAR toward $0.30–0.32 resistance levels. Some analysts even suggest potential rallies above $0.50 if the ETF materializes
- ETF Movement: Filings for an HBAR ETF by Grayscale and Canary Capital could boost perceived institutional legitimacy and spark broader investment interest
- Competitive Pressure: Robinhood’s expansion may pressure other platforms like Coinbase and Binance.US to accelerate their own listings—especially for tokens like HBAR with unique consensus models and enterprise adoption
Bottom Line
Adding U.S. trading support for HBAR on July 25, 2025, was a strategic move by Robinhood to broaden its offerings and better serve its large retail user base. The listing has already sparked positive price momentum and is likely to drive continued interest—both from retail investors and institutions through ETF developments or competitive pressures.
