HBAR Price Climbs Amid Institutional-Facing News and Tech Upgrades
Hedera's native token HBAR is trading near $0.070 on July 25, 2026, after a series of institutional and technical announcements from the network.
The price has seen a small dip, down 0.3% to 1% on the day, but remains up over 6% in the past week.
The Hedera network has made significant strides with its Smart Contract Service now having full Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, allowing developers to deploy Solidity contracts using standard tools like Hardhat and Foundry.
This upgrade removes a technical barrier for Ethereum-based developers considering building on the Hedera network.
Hedera has also announced a partnership with Utila, providing institutional-grade custody and wallet infrastructure across the ecosystem, further solidifying its 'built for institutions' narrative.
