This ETF is designed to track the performance of HBAR, granting investors access to Hedera's distributed ledger technology.
Now, the SEC is responsible for reviewing the application and deciding whether to permit the ETF to commence trading.

The trading volume for HBAR also experienced a rise.
In addition to the HBAR ETF, Canary Capital has also filed applications to list ETFs for other altcoins, including Solana (CRYPTO:SOL), Litecoin (CRYPTO:LTC), and XRP (CRYPTO:XRP), suggesting an interest in expanding cryptocurrency investment options.
Bloomberg Intelligence has assessed the potential for approval of altcoin ETFs.
Their analysts estimate the probability of an XRP ETF approval in the U.S. at 65%, while the odds for Litecoin and Solana ETFs are higher, at 90% and 70%, respectively.

The SEC will now take up to 90 days to provide a comprehensive response to the filing.
