TLDR
- Robinhood U.S. adds Hedera HBAR, marking its 29th listed crypto asset.
HBAR surged 3% post-listing and is up 63% over the past month.
HBAR was first added to Robinhood’s U.K. and E.U. platforms in January.
ETF approval odds for HBAR now stand at 90%, according to Bloomberg.
Robinhood has added Hedera (HBAR) to its U.S. crypto trading platform, expanding its digital asset offerings. This listing comes after the platform recently made other legacy tokens available again, such as XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA).
Hedera (HBAR) Now Available for U.S. Traders on Robinhood
Robinhood has officially listed Hedera (HBAR) for U.S. customers, according to an announcement released on Friday. This move follows the earlier listing of the asset for European users in January 2025. The trading platform confirmed the new addition in a post on X, noting that HBAR is now accessible for buying and selling in the U.S. market.
With this launch, HBAR becomes the 29th digital currency available on the platform. Robinhood’s crypto lineup already includes Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and several others. The platform continues to grow its offerings for users by adding both established cryptocurrencies and newer meme-based assets.

According to Robinhood data, HBAR rose as much as 7% following the news and was trading at $0.25 at the time of writing. The price has increased by 3% in the past 24 hours and 63% in the last 30 days, according to CoinMarketCap.
Expansion of Legacy and Meme Coins on Robinhood
Robinhood has expanded its crypto asset range beyond core tokens. It recently reintroduced legacy assets such as XRP, SOL, and ADA in November 2024. Alongside these, it has also added popular meme coins including PEPE, PENGU, PNUT, and POPCAT.
The platform has also brought in Arbitrum (ARB), an Ethereum Layer 2 solution, which aims to reduce transaction costs and improve speed for Ethereum-based assets. The growing list of tokens reflects Robinhood’s effort to support a broad base of digital assets while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Robinhood shared that it received integration fees related to listing HBAR, though it did not specify the amount. The company is continuing to increase its offerings in both the U.S. and E.U. regions.
HBAR Price Movement and Market Reaction
Following the U.S. listing, HBAR experienced a price jump of around 2% within hours. Market data shows that the token has gained over 60% in the last month, even though it has dropped nearly 9% in the past week.
Crypto analyst Javon Marks mentioned on X that HBAR could potentially reach the $0.504 level in the near future. He said that the token appears to be “pushing with monumental strength,” which, if it continues, could mean an 80% increase from its current price.
While such predictions are based on chart patterns, the listing on Robinhood adds new exposure for the asset among retail traders in the U.S., which could influence trading volume.
Possible ETF Approval Boosts Optimism
Another potential factor driving HBAR’s recent momentum is growing anticipation of a possible Hedera ETF. Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart recently estimated a 90% chance for ETF approval in the near future.
If approved, an HBAR ETF could expand institutional access to the token and increase its visibility in mainstream financial markets. Robinhood’s U.S. listing further aligns with this broader market interest and institutional engagement.
HBAR’s addition to the platform comes at a time when crypto trading platforms are preparing for clearer regulatory policies in the U.S., especially under the current administration.
