Hedera Joins BTC and ETH as CME Launches HBAR Pricing Index

  • Analysts say standardized Hedera price data is critical for institutional adoption, enabling benchmarks, indices, and structured products.
  • Despite the infrastructure milestone, HBAR remains under selling pressure, correcting 4% amid market-wide correction.

The CME Group has made an official announcement that on December 29, it will be adding real-time price feeds for Hedera’s HBAR token. This is a major announcement coming from the world’s largest derivatives exchange. CME provides core market data infrastructure used by institutional investors, funds, and clearing members across regulated financial markets.

CME Group To Offer Hedera (HBAR) Price Feeds

Following the CME Group announcement, market observers said that the availability of real-time price data for HBAR will lead to greater institutional participation. It also allows the creation of benchmarks, indices, and structured products. Without standardized reference data, assets cannot be part of institutional trading, risk management, or investment frameworks. Commenting on this development, popular investor Mark Chadwick (@markchadwickx) noted via X:

However, note that the introduction of HBAR into CME’s data ecosystem does not signal the immediate launch of derivatives or near-term price action. This is the start of a preparatory phase that allows digital assets to become measurable, open to benchmarking, and compatible with institutional models.

Over the longer term, observers say the development could support liquidity and broader adoption for HBAR. It also follows the typical progression of institutional markets from data infrastructure to benchmarks, financial products, and eventually increased trading activity.

The CME Group also supports the trading of futures derivatives products for digital assets like XRP and Solana. It will be interesting to see if HBAR can make the cut. In a Hedera thread on Reddit, one user, Calms Storms, said: “It’s just a pricing feed. Morgan Stanley has one too. Reality is you want your coin listed on the CME. Not likely. Only 4 crypto coins have made the cut”.

HBAR Price Continues to Face Selling Pressure

Despite the CME Group development, the HBAR price continues to face selling pressure while being in the grip of bears. As of press time, the Hedera token is trading 4.3% down at $0.1139. Moreover, the surge in the daily trading volume shows that the selling pressure is intense.

Despite this, the Hedera Foundation has continued to make fresh partnerships. Last week, on Dec. 12, it integrated with Ownera, a distribution network used by financial institutions, to simplify access to tokenized real-world assets on Hedera for banks, broker-dealers, and asset managers, as reported by CNF.

Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts?

The post Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In recent crypto news, Stephen Miran swore in as the latest Federal Reserve governor on September 16, 2025, slipping into the board’s last open spot right before the Federal Open Market Committee kicks off its two-day rate discussion. Traders are betting heavily on a 25-basis-point trim, which would bring the federal funds rate down to 4.00%-4.25%, based on CME FedWatch Tool figures from September 15, 2025. Miran, who’s been Trump’s top economic advisor and a supporter of his trade ideas, joins a seven-member board where just three governors come from Democratic picks, according to the Fed’s records updated that same day. Crypto News: Miran’s Background and Quick Path to Confirmation The Senate greenlit Miran on September 15, 2025, with a tight 48-47 vote, following his nomination on September 2, 2025, as per a recent crypto news update. His stint runs only until January 31, 2026, stepping in for Adriana D. Kugler, who stepped down in August 2025 for reasons not made public. Miran earned his economics Ph.D. from Harvard and worked at the Treasury back in Trump’s first go-around. Afterward, he moved to Hudson Bay Capital Management as an economist, then looped back to the White House in December 2024 to head the Council of Economic Advisers. There, he helped craft Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” approach, aimed at fixing trade gaps with China and the EU. He wouldn’t quit his White House gig, which irked Senator Elizabeth Warren at the September 7, 2025, confirmation hearings. That limited time frame means Miran gets to cast a vote straight away at the FOMC session starting September 16, 2025. The full board now features Chair Jerome H. Powell (Trump pick, term ends 2026), Vice Chair Philip N. Jefferson (Biden, to 2036), and folks like Lisa D. Cook (Biden, to 2028) and Michael S. Barr…
