Hedera (HBAR) is showing the largest price increase among the top 20 cryptocurrencies, recording nearly double-digit growth despite the overall decline in the altcoin market.
This increase was expected and follows major developments that will expand the altcoin market range.
Robinhood Lists HBAR... What You Need to Know
Robinhood announced the listing of HBAR, the token of Hedera Hashgraph, triggering a notable price increase for the altcoin.
This increase occurred amid expectations that HBAR will be available to Robinhood users in the United States. The trading app has over 20 million monthly active users, many of whom are active individual investors.
Therefore, the Robinhood listing places the token in front of a young investor base that does not typically use many traditional cryptocurrency exchanges.
This opens the door to new demand by listing HBAR on Robinhood, driving market reaction.

This is consistent with recent similar announcements affecting altcoin prices. The recent listing of Lista (LISTA) and Merlin Chain (MERL) on Bithumb exchange triggered double-digit increases for the tokens.
Similarly, Coinbase exchange's recent listing hints for BNKR, JITOSOL, MPLX caused a surge in three new altcoins.
Meanwhile, Robinhood's HBAR listing is part of its expansion into cryptocurrency trading, competing with Coinbase and Binance.US in the US market.
After Donald Trump's election victory in November, US-operated cryptocurrency exchanges have experienced a smoother environment, triggering bold listing actions that include adding meme coins to their product lineup.
With Trump taking a pro-cryptocurrency stance, the US SEC has withdrawn enforcement actions related to cryptocurrency trading violations against Robinhood.
Beyond this listing, Hedera's price is gaining momentum from the HBAR ETF prospects through Grayscale and Canary Capital's applications. Canary Capital is leading the HBAR ETF competition and submitted an application to the US SEC in November.
