8 Reasons Hedera (HBAR) Could Be the Most Undervalued Crypto Right Now

Crypto Sensei, a YouTuber with 135k subscribers, laid out why he keeps buying Hedera (HBAR) under $0.08 or $0.09. His biggest frustration? The price just won’t match the fundamentals.

He’s not alone. A lot of people in crypto look at Hedera’s tech, its partners, and its real-world use cases, then look at the price, and just scratch their heads. 

While meme coins pump on hype, a network backed by Google and Nvidia sits quietly in the background. But Sensei believes that patience will pay off.

Here are the eight reasons he’s still bullish.

Enterprise adoption is already happening

Hedera has a governing council made up of Google, IBM, Nvidia, ServiceNow, FedEx, and others. These aren’t just names on a website. 

They’re building real-world asset tokenization, bond issuance, and payment rails on the network. HSBC and ARX are already running live or pilot programs.

Fixed, predictable fees

Every transaction on Hedera costs a small fixed fee, around $0.00008. For an enterprise like FedEx, which scans a package 18 to 20 times from pickup to delivery, that predictable cost structure matters. You don’t get surprise gas fees when the network gets busy.

AI and verifiable compute

In 2025, Hedera launched verifiable compute with Nvidia and Dell. This lets companies cryptographically prove how AI models were trained and how outputs were generated. 

It positions Hedera (HBAR) as a go-to layer for auditable AI workflows, a big deal in the 2026 AI and infrastructure bull cycle.

Carbon credits and ESG leadership

Hedera is already one of the largest on-chain carbon credit ecosystems. Projects like DOVU have issued over 1.1 billion credits, and BC Carbon is tracking millions of tons of CO2 on-chain. Initiatives like the Philippines Digital Carbon Office turn Hedera into climate infrastructure, giving it direct exposure to ESG-driven capital.

Regulatory clarity

The SEC and CFTC released an interpretive document listing 16 digital commodities. Hedera was on the list. That gives institutions clear guidance that Hedera (HBAR) isn’t a security, a big deal for anyone worried about getting sued just for using a network.

Wyoming picked Hedera over Ethereum and Solana

Wyoming launched the first state-issued stablecoin in the US. When they evaluated which blockchain to add beyond their initial chain, Hedera was the only one selected. Not Ethereum. Not Solana. 

The executive director said Hedera (HBAR) has emerged as a leader in real-world asset innovation with the governance and performance needed for regulated use cases. North Dakota is already planning its own state stablecoin next.

ETF and institutional money is coming

T-Rowe Price, a $1.8 trillion asset manager, filed an amendment for their active crypto ETF. HBAR is now one of their 16 eligible assets alongside Bitcoin, Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin. 

This is a spot ETF, actively managed, with 5 to 15 holdings at a time. That means real institutional money can flow into Hedera based on fundamentals, not speculation.

Private networks still create long-term demand

A common question: why does the price do nothing when FedEx joins? Because they don’t need to buy Hedera (HBAR) on an exchange today. 

But over time, private networks still need to interact with the public network, to call smart contracts, mint NFTs, or pull in data from outside. That creates a trickle-down effect. It’s not immediate, but it builds long-term demand.

However, Crypto Sensei put it simply: utility is going to be king. Everyone’s chasing the quick dollar, but Hedera is quietly being used by some of the biggest companies in the world. 

The market hasn’t priced it in yet. But with AI, real-world assets, ESG, and institutional money all lining up, that might not last forever.
