The HBAR Foundation has deposited 250 million HBAR, approximately $42 million, into its staking reward account to enhance incentives for network participants. This significant influx has increased the total staked value to over $2.3 billion, covering 5.4 billion HBAR. The initiative aims to support the network's staking yield, which can reach up to 6.5% APY, and comes as the market anticipates ETF decisions on November 8, 2025. Analysts suggest that successful ETF approvals could propel HBAR's price towards $0.25 or higher.
