Hedera's HBAR Surges 100% On BlackRock News

A misinterpreted announcement by the HBAR Foundation suggested that Blackrock's ICS US Treasury Fund was tokenized on the Hedera blockchain in partnership with Archax and Ownera, leading to a significant misunderstanding and a 96% increase in the HBAR token price within 24 hours.

Hedera's native HBAR token surged by more than 107% on Tuesday as investors believed that BlackRock was involved in a fund tokenization project on the Hedera blockchain, the token then slumped by more than 25% as BlackRock turned out to have no involvement in the launch.

HBAR, the native cryptocurrency of Hedera Hashgraph, surged by a staggering 100% all the way to $0.18. On Tuesday, April 13, financial giant BlackRock announced that it would leverage the Hedera Blockchain to tokenize its money market fund.

A widely misinterpreted announcement from the HBAR Foundation has sparked confusion among crypto influencers and sent the price of HBAR token soaring.

Archax, a digital asset exchange, broker, and custodian based in London, has expanded its tokenization services to the BlackRock ICS US Treasury money market fund (MMF). This undertaking is implemented in cooperation with The HBAR Foundation and is a major step forward in the merging of traditional financial assets with the blockchain technology.
