HBAR Market Cap Jumps 43% in Q3 2025 as Hedera DeFi Activity Surges

Published at 2025-11-12 13:34:52

HBAR enjoyed a strong quarter in Q3 2025, with market capitalization up 43% to $9.1 billion and the token price rising 43.2% to $0.21. Network metrics show meaningful on-chain adoption: daily active accounts increased 15.8% and new account creation surged 178%, highlighting a broad uptick in user engagement and onboarding.

The Hedera ecosystem's DeFi layer also strengthened, with total value locked climbing 53.4% and decentralized exchange volumes nearly doubling. Those liquidity and trading gains improve network utility and could attract more builders and liquidity providers, supporting further ecosystem development. While past performance is not a guarantee of future returns, the combination of usage growth and deeper DeFi activity offers a clearer narrative of Hedera transitioning from infrastructure to active economic activity.
