HBAR Price Prediction: Hedera and Stellar Top CoinDesk 20 as BTC Pushes Toward $76,000


$HBAR price prediction improved Friday as Hedera gained 1.4% and Stellar’s $XLM added 1.5% to top the CoinDesk 20 performance update, placing the index at 2,125.52, up 0.3% from Thursday’s close, with just 9 of 20 assets trading higher as Bitcoin approached the $76,000 resistance level that has capped every major rally attempt in 2026.

$HBAR price prediction improved Friday as both tokens outperformed the CoinDesk 20’s 0.3% gain by a wide margin, with Hedera rising 1.4% and Stellar 1.5% against an index that saw 11 of 20 assets move flat or lower. Bitcoin’s push toward $76,000 drove selective altcoin rotation, and both $HBAR and $XLM carry the profile that tends to lead early in such moves — payment-layer infrastructure with institutional governance and regulatory credibility.

Near Protocol fell 2.3% as the session’s worst performer, and Polkadot dropped 1.6%. General-purpose Layer-1 networks with slower development cadences underperformed, while tokens with specific near-term catalysts and enterprise backing attracted the session’s marginal buying.

Why $HBAR Is Outperforming

Hedera’s volume surge to $103 million — up 57.6% on the day — signals targeted positioning rather than passive drift alongside $BTC. Several catalysts have built in the ecosystem since March. McLaren Racing joined the Hedera Governing Council in March 2026 as a full voting member, committing to digital collectibles programs across the F1 and IndyCar seasons and giving the network access to a global sports audience.

The Canary Capital $HBAR ETF, trading on Nasdaq under the ticker HBR since October 28, 2025, accumulated $93.21 million in cumulative ETF inflows by early 2026, making $HBAR the third cryptocurrency to achieve US spot ETF status. Hedera’s governing council includes Google, IB

'Choke Point'—Bitcoin's $77B Coinbase ETF Warning Shocks Markets


Bitcoin investors are suddenly confronting an uncomfortable math problem inside the $91.7 billion U.S. spot bitcoin ETF market.

"Coinbase Custody holds 84% of all US spot Bitcoin ETF assets," Marc Baumann, founder of research firm fiftyonexyz, posted on X on April 14. "That's $77 billion with a single custodian. For an industry built on decentralization, the most important product category has a single point of failure. Regulators will notice."

The warning is landing as bitcoin trades near $77,000, having clawed back from a 40% drawdown since its late-2025 peak around $126,000. It also lands three weeks after the April 2 conditional approval of a national trust charter for Coinbase by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. "OCC grants Coinbase conditional approval for a National Trust Bank Charter," Swiss law firm Goldblum & Partners posted on X on April 13, noting that "11 crypto firms now in the federal banking pipeline" and that a new rule, 12 CFR 5.20, "explicitly permits non-fiduciary crypto custody for national trust banks." That regulatory blessing, in a twist, deepens the concentration analysts are now calling out.

The figure itself has become the new rallying cry of bitcoin's structural skeptics. CryptoSlate first framed the dollar number on April 12 as "over 80% of Bitcoin ETF assets hit Coinbase custody choke point with $74B at risk." Within 48 hours, the phrasing was circulating through crypto-media accounts and analyst threads.

"Over 80% of Bitcoin ETF assets now sit inside Coinbase custody. That’s roughly $74B concentrated in one infrastructure layer," wrote crypto-media account W3BCMedia on April 13. Institutional adoption was growing, the account added, "but so is systemic custody risk.

Senate Clears 10-Day FISA Stopgap After House Revolt Sinks Longer Deal



The Senate passed a 10-day FISA extension 2026 by voice vote Friday, keeping the surveillance program alive until April 30 after a bloc of 20 House Republicans overnight derailed both a five-year and an 18-month renewal that Speaker Johnson and the White House had spent a week negotiating.

The Senate cleared a FISA extension 2026 stopgap by voice vote Friday morning, buying Congress until April 30 after an all-night collapse on Capitol Hill left two separate long-term renewal attempts in ruins. The measure goes to President Trump for signature before the program’s Monday expiration.

Section 702 allows US spy agencies including the CIA, NSA, and FBI to collect foreign communications without a warrant, including those of Americans in contact with targeted foreigners. Intelligence officials have called it the single most important national security tool the country has. “FISA is the single most important national security asset we have in the intelligence field,” said Sen. Angus King of Maine, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. “It constitutes a very high percentage of the president’s daily brief.”

What Collapsed Overnight

Johnson entered Thursday evening believing a deal was in hand. Shortly before midnight, GOP leaders unveiled a revised five-year extension designed to win over privacy hawks. It failed. They then tried an 18-month clean renewal that Trump had demanded. That failed 197-228 on the procedural vote, with 20 Republicans joining most Democrats in opposition.

At 2:09 AM Friday, the House passed the 10-day stopgap by unanimous consent. The Senate convened a rare Friday session hours later and approved it the same way.

Trump had pressured Republicans all week through Truth Social posts, CIA Director John Ratcliffe briefed lawmakers directly on Wednesday

Ryan Kirkley: From Oil To Bitcoin, Markets Shift With Strait Of Hormuz News

WASHINGTON -- Cryptocurrency markets surged and oil traders recalibrated after signals that the Strait of Hormuz is reopening, even as military tensions and policy contradictions persist.

While equities have been slower to react, analysts say the divergence reflects how different parts of the global financial system process risk and liquidity.

Ryan Kirkley, CEO of blockchain payments company Global Settlement Network

In an interview with RFE/RL on April 17, Ryan Kirkley, CEO of blockchain payments company Global Settlement Network, explains the worldwide economic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, why markets are moving at varying paces, and why oil prices may already be turning.

RFE/RL: Let's start simple. Why is the Strait of Hormuz so critical to the global market?

Ryan Kirkley: We see roughly 20 percent of all oil and nearly 30 percent of petroleum products flow through the Strait of Hormuz. Even a small disruption breaks global supply chains, from pharmaceuticals to agriculture to jet fuel to the energy that powers grids around the world.

The moment that flow is interrupted, we begin to see countries falter, economies weaken, and entire industries come under rapid stress. Realistically, the Strait of Hormuz touches nearly every part of the global economy.

RFE/RL: One industry that responded quickly to the latest developments is crypto. Why is Bitcoin suddenly part of this conversation?

Kirkley: Bitcoin was always part of this conversation with Iran. What many people don't realize is that Iran accounts for a significant share of global Bitcoin mining.

During the conflict, we saw mining difficulty -- essentially the cost of producing Bitcoin -- drop sharply as energy infrastructure was disrupted. Now, with a cease-fire and some restoration of energy grids, that has rebo
