- HBAR surged 15% to reach a high of $0.20 while Bitcoin hit an all-time high.
- Amid overall bullish sentiment, the launch of the Salt app on Hedera could push HBAR toward the key resistance level of $0.37.
- The all-time high of $0.57 set in September 2021 could become a short-term target.
Hedera’s native token HBAR jumped more than 15% in the past 24 hours, topping out at $0.20.
The move came alongside Bitcoin’s sharp rally and news about the launch of Salt, a South Korea–based mobile trading application, on the Hedera network.
The token has also climbed as Hedera announced recent milestone integrations involving NVIDIA Blackwell, EQTY Lab’s Verifiable Compute, SCAN UK, and Accenture Public Sector.
These developments may drive additional adoption of HBAR and, in turn, support further price appreciation.
Hedera (HBAR) spikes after Salt beta launch
The Salt beta went live on Hedera, and the Hedera Foundation announced the rollout earlier in the week.
Following the integration, HBAR’s price rose significantly—up more than 15% in 24 hours and over 32% across the past week.
The Hedera Foundation said the Salt integration is meant to help grow the MemeFi space. The South Korea–based app leverages Hedera’s scalability and efficiency to provide users with access to more than 30 chains and major decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

This partnership is strategically focused on expanding Hedera’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region. The foundation says Hedera-based DeFi experiences will become “fast, approachable, and fun.”
“SALT is a Hedera mobile trading app that makes DeFi feel fast, approachable, and fun. You can join with a one-click wallet, get the best trade through smart routing, and keep moving with a clean interface,” the Hedera Foundation posted on X.
The wide connectivity Salt offers could attract diverse user groups, increasing HBAR trading activity and liquidity.
Salt’s rewards system, which lets traders earn points through swaps, referrals, and engagement, is likely to encourage adoption further and boost demand for HBAR.
Hedera price outlook
Alongside broad Bitcoin-led bullish sentiment, HBAR’s recent rally is supported by several milestones within the Hedera ecosystem.
One notable update was the announcement that NVIDIA Blackwell will support EQTY Lab’s Verifiable Compute deployment, a collaboration that also involves hardware supplier SCAN UK and Accenture Public Sector.
EQTY Lab’s initiative is built on Hedera, which could increase HBAR’s real-world use cases and adoption potential.
Market analysts suggest that if bullish momentum continues, HBAR could target the $0.37 resistance level.
Extending gains further, the $0.57 all-time high from September 2021 may be seen as a potential short-term objective.
On the downside, a key support level remains near $0.13.
