Key Details About the Launch

- ISIN Code: GB00BRC6JM96
- Listing Venue: Euronext Amsterdam

Why Hedera Stands Out
It’s the innovative, energy-efficient blockchain network driven by a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism. Then there’s the global governance model managed by prominent organizations such as Google, IBM, and Deutsche Telekom, among others. Hedera comes in at $11.3 billion in market capitalization and places in the top 20 cryptocurrencies globally.
HBAR is Hedera’s cryptocurrency that pays for network operations, including transaction fees, and secures the network. It has been attracting investors because it is eco-friendly and enterprise-grade reliable.
Benefits of the Hedera HBAR ETP
- Accessibility: The product is available through traditional financial exchanges, which have made it very easy for institutional and retail investors to gain exposure to HBAR.
- Sustainability: Hedera’s energy-efficient PoS network appeals to the growing investor taste for everything green.
- Governance: It is governed by a council of global enterprises that ensure its operations are reliable and transparent.
- Portfolio Diversification: The ETP allows investors to add a cutting-edge digital asset to their portfolios.
