As reported by Coinpedia, the Canary Capital HBAR ETF (ticker: HBR) launched on Nasdaq on October 28, 2025, offering investors direct spot exposure to HBAR tokens. The ETF, which holds actual HBAR in custody with BitGo and Coinbase Custody, marks a major step for institutional access to the asset. The launch occurred during the U.S. government shutdown, leveraging SEC rules that allow ETFs to go live 20 days after filing without regulatory intervention. The HBAR ETF joins a wave of new U.S. spot crypto ETFs, including Litecoin, following recent SEC approval of streamlined listing standards.
