Hedera (HBAR) has seen a significant price increase of around 20% over the last 25 hours, driven by concrete enterprise news involving IBM and broader institutional, AI, and tokenization narratives.

The primary catalyst for HBAR's recent rally is the listing of IDTrust, a Hedera-based identity product, in the IBM Cloud Catalog. This development is widely reported as the main trigger for the recent HBAR price surge.

IDTrust, developed by The Hashgraph Group, is designed for AI agent, device, and human identity using decentralized identifiers and verifiable credentials on Hedera. It is now directly available to IBM's cloud customers as a blockchain-based identity solution.

The announcement also included The Hashgraph Group gaining IBM Silver Partner status and a global Embedded Solution Agreement for IBM cloud and AI technologies, further strengthening the perception of a real enterprise partnership.
