Hedera’s HBAR Doubles on Misinterpretation of BlackRock Announcement, Then Falls 25%

A misinterpreted announcement by the HBAR Foundation suggested that Blackrock’s ICS US Treasury Fund was tokenized on the Hedera blockchain in partnership with Archax and Ownera, leading to a significant misunderstanding and a 96% increase in the HBAR token price within 24 hours. 
 
However, Blackrock had no direct involvement in the tokenization process, as clarified by Cardano Ghost Fund DAO founder Chris O’Connor, who criticized the way the announcement was framed, emphasizing that the misinterpretation caused unwarranted excitement among crypto influencers. 
 
Despite the confusion and the temporary price surge, HBAR’s value remains down more than 69% from its all-time high in September 2021, even as the Hedera network plans to strengthen its user base following the execution of 33 billion transactions in 2023.
