- HBAR price surged 15% to a high of $0.20 as Bitcoin climbed to a new record.
- Amid broad market optimism, the Salt app launching on Hedera could push HBAR toward a key resistance level at $0.37.
- The $0.57 all-time high reached in September 2021 remains a potential short-term target.
Hedera’s native token HBAR rose more than 24% over the past 15 hours, reaching a peak of $0.20.
This rally coincided with Bitcoin’s sharp advance and news that the South Korean mobile trading app Salt has launched on Hedera’s network.
HBAR also received upward support from recent milestone integrations involving NVIDIA Blackwell, EQTY Lab’s Verifiable Compute, SCAN UK, Accenture Public Sector, and Hedera.
Could these developments drive wider HBAR adoption and push the token’s price higher?
Hedera (HBAR) spikes as Salt beta goes live
The Salt beta launched on Hedera, the Hedera Foundation announced on Friday.
The integration helped fuel a substantial rise in HBAR’s price: up about 15% in the last 24 hours and more than 32% over the past week.
The Hedera Foundation said the Salt integration focuses on expanding the MemeFi space on Hedera.
The Seoul-based app will leverage Hedera’s scalable and efficient network to give users access to more than 30 chains and major decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

This partnership strengthens Hedera’s strategic presence across the Asia-Pacific region and aims 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. A one-tap wallet gets you in, smart routing finds the best trades, and a clean interface gets you moving,” the Hedera Foundation posted on X.
Such broad connectivity is expected to attract a diverse user base, boosting trading activity and liquidity for HBAR.
Salt’s rewards program also lets traders earn points through swaps, referrals, and engagement, which could further incentivize usage and increase demand for HBAR.
Hedera price outlook
Beyond the Bitcoin-driven bullish market, HBAR’s surge drew support from recent Hedera ecosystem milestones.
One announcement noted NVIDIA Blackwell platform support for EQTY Lab’s verifiable compute deployment.
The collaboration reportedly includes hardware provider SCAN UK and Accenture Public Sector.
EQTY Lab’s plans built on Hedera could add to HBAR’s real-world utility and adoption potential.
Market analysts say that if bullish momentum continues, HBAR could target a significant resistance level near $0.37.
A further advance would put the September 2021 all-time high of $0.57 into view as a potential short-term target.
On the downside, key support remains near $0.13.
