Overview
- An S‑1 amendment filed Sept. 22 formalized a 1.95% management fee for Canary Capital’s Hedera HBAR spot ETF proposal.
- The fee would rank near the top of crypto ETF pricing, compared with 0.95% in Canary’s Litecoin filing and roughly 0.2%–2% for Bitcoin and Ethereum funds.
- HBAR traded around $0.22 on Monday, down about 7%, while 24‑hour volume rose roughly 152% to about $438 million, according to CoinMarketCap.
- The proposed fund would track HBAR’s market price and offer exposure without requiring investors to hold or store the token.
- Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart estimate about a 90% chance of approval for altcoin spot ETFs, with the SEC’s decision on HBAR still pending.
