Canary Capital's new HBAR ETF attracted $8 million in first-day inflows, signaling strong demand despite subsequent price volatility.

Summary

Canary Capital Group's new Hedera (HBAR) ETF, trading under the ticker HBR, saw a strong debut, attracting approximately $8 million in inflows on its first trading day, according to analysts like Eric Balchunas. This launch highlights growing institutional and retail interest in regulated exposure to blockchain assets.

Despite the significant initial inflows, the ETF experienced notable volatility on its first day, opening at $28.265, dipping to $27.169, and closing without a major recovery, with over 307,000 shares traded. Concurrently, the underlying asset, Hedera, traded at $0.19, reflecting an 11.26% 24-hour decline, though market capitalization remained robust at $8.26 billion.

Technically, HBAR shows strengthening momentum. Its market cap rebounded to $8.45 billion, and indicators like the RSI (at 56.30) and the MACD histogram suggest that buyers are regaining control after a consolidation phase, pointing towards sustained buying pressure.
