- HBAR price rose 15% to reach highs of $0.20, while Bitcoin jumped to a new all-time high.
- The launch of the Salt app on Hedera amid broad bullish sentiment could push HBAR toward a key resistance at $0.37.
- The $0.57 all-time high recorded in September 2021 remains a possible short-term target.
HBAR, the native token of Hedera, climbed more than 15% in the past 24 hours, reaching intraday highs of $0.20.
This move coincided with Bitcoin’s rally and headlines around Salt’s beta launch, a South Korea–based mobile trading app, deploying on Hedera.
The token’s gains were also supported by a major integration announcement involving NVIDIA Blackwell, EQTY Lab’s Verifiable Compute, SCAN UK, Accenture Public Sector and Hedera.
Do these developments point to greater HBAR adoption and a potential price rally?
Hedera (HBAR) price surges as Salt beta goes live
The Salt beta has been activated on Hedera, a move the Hedera Foundation announced early Friday.
The integration helped catalyze a sharp rise in HBAR’s price, which has climbed roughly 15% over 24 hours and more than 32% over the past week.
The Hedera Foundation said Salt’s integration targets the MemeFi space.
The South Korea–based app will leverage Hedera’s scalability and efficiency, offering users access to more than 30 chains and leading decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

The strategic importance of this partnership is that it strengthens Hedera’s presence across the Asia-Pacific region. The foundation expects the integration to make DeFi on Hedera “fast, familiar and fun.”
“SALT is a mobile trading app on Hedera that makes DeFi feel fast, familiar and fun. One-click wallets let you enter, smart routing gives you the best swap, and a clean interface keeps you moving,” the Hedera Foundation posted on X.
Broad connectivity is expected to attract a diverse user base, increasing trading activity and liquidity for HBAR.
Salt’s rewards system, which allows traders to earn points through trades, referrals and engagement, further incentivizes user participation and could help drive HBAR demand.
Hedera price outlook
Besides Bitcoin-driven bullish sentiment, HBAR’s rise is backed by recent milestones within the Hedera ecosystem.
One announcement confirmed NVIDIA Blackwell’s compatibility with EQTY Lab’s Verifiable Compute deployment.
The collaboration also involves compute hardware provider SCAN UK and Accenture Public Sector.
EQTY Lab’s initiative is built on Hedera, increasing the token’s exposure to potential enterprise and developer adoption.
Market analysts say HBAR could target a meaningful resistance level at $0.37 if bullish momentum continues.
Further gains would bring the $0.57 all-time high from September 2021 into view as a feasible short-term objective.
On the downside, key support levels remain near $0.13, which traders will watch for signs of sustained strength or potential pullbacks.
