Possible Nasdaq Listing of HBAR Shares
If the SEC approves the proposed rule change by June 15, 2025, Nasdaq could list and trade shares of the Grayscale Hedera Trust (HBAR). That would let investors who hold investments buy and sell HBAR shares on Nasdaq like other exchange-traded products.
HBAR Shares Track Token Value Minus Fees
The Trust's shares are intended to reflect the U.S. dollar value of the Hedera Network native token (HBAR) as measured by the CoinDesk HBAR reference Index at 4:00 p.m. New York time each business day, minus the Trust's expenses and liabilities. The Trust will hold only HBAR and create or redeem shares in cash in blocks of 10,000 Shares, and sponsors of the Trust change on May 3, 2025 as described in the filing.
