Archax Executes First After-Hours Transaction of its Tokenized Canary HBR ETF on Hedera Mainnet
LONDON, Dec. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Archax, the UK/EU-regulated digital asset platform, today announced the tokenization and first onchain transaction of the Canary HBR ETF on the Hedera Network. The completed out-of-hours transaction is a landmark achievement in blockchain-based finance: an ETF linked to Hedera's native token, tokenized and transacting on the Hedera Network itself, outside of traditional market hours.

This transaction demonstrates how regulated assets can operate on blockchain infrastructure in a continuous, 24/7 trading cycle even during market closures for public holidays. Archax facilitated a live transaction of the tokenized Canary HBR ETF during off-hours on Thursday, November 27, 2025 when traditional US markets were closed, showcasing the potential for digital assets, such as tokenized equities, to transact beyond traditional market hours.

"Tokenizing the Canary HBR ETF on Hedera is a significant step forward in bridging traditional and digital markets," said Graham Rodford, CEO and co-founder of Archax. "This initiative showcases how regulated financial products can exist and transact onchain while maintaining the compliance and oversight expected by institutions."

"This represents new functionality for ETFs," said Gregg Bell, Chief Business Officer at HBAR, Inc., a subsidiary of Hedera Foundation SEZC. "Executing transactions of a tokenized ETF on Hedera, including outside of standard market hours, demonstrates the real-world benefits of distributed ledger technology for modern finance."

Built on Hedera's institutional-grade public network, the tokenization of the Canary HBR ETF highlights how traditional financial instruments can be issued, transacted, and settled securely onchain with regulatory oversight.

Holding an HBAR ETF offers a fundamentally different investment experience compared to directly holding the HBAR coin, with key advantages in simplicity, regulation, and portfolio integration, especially for institutional and traditional investors

Key Benefits of HBAR ETF

Regulated Access
The HBAR ETF provides a regulated vehicle for exposure to the Hedera (HBAR) ecosystem. It is overseen by securities regulators and uses trusted custodians like BitGo and Coinbase Custody, reducing counterparty and operational risks typical for direct crypto holding.

No Wallet/Key Management
Investors avoid the technical complexities and risks of managing private keys, wallets, or direct on-chain transfers. This is especially appealing for institutions, advisors, and those unfamiliar with self-custody best practices.

Portfolio Integration
The ETF allows straightforward integration within traditional brokerage, retirement, or institutional portfolios. It trades on major exchanges (e.g., Nasdaq), can be included in IRAs or 401(k)s, and facilitates tax reporting through standard mechanisms—something not directly possible with HBAR coins.

Simplified Taxation
Tax treatment for ETFs is often simpler for many investors than direct crypto holdings, potentially providing some tax efficiency depending on jurisdiction and account structure.

Liquidity and Institutional Access
ETFs can boost liquidity by concentrating trading on established platforms and appealing to institutional capital that cannot (or will not) access the underlying coins directly, potentially tightening spreads and supporting price discovery over the long term.

Holding the HBAR ETF is best suited to investors seeking regulated, hands-off exposure without using crypto infrastructure, while coin holders benefit from full network utility and self-sovereignty.

DDC securing $124M at a 16% premium is interesting. Curious how the market interprets that kind of confidence from investors.

Stupid question: What are the benefits of holding HBAR ETF over the HBAR Coin?

nice!!! The tokenization of the Canary HBAR ETF by Archax enables 24/7 international trading for investors who may not have straightforward access to the original U.S.-based ETFs
WOW!!!

🤯 Didn't expect this so fast - looks like @ArchaxEx has just tokenized the Canary $HBAR ETF on @Hedera!

This may be the first time a network's native token ETF has been tokenized on that same network, major step for on-chain funds.

hey Sam...thanks for setting up this board...perhaps the pause on Grayscale ETF will benefit Hedera institutional adoption by channeling 'inflows' to the Canary Capital ETF option...not so much competition...the CEO of Canary Capital, Steven McClurg seems confident in how things are playing out for his firm...time will tell, as usual...curious to hear what folks on the Hedera team are observing re recent events...cheers

Canary Capital Aggressively Accumulates HBAR For Hedera ETF: Price Prediction
November 14, 2025
https://99bitcoins.com/news/presales/canary-capital-aggressively-accumulates-hbar-for-hedera-etf-price-prediction/

"...Canary Capital is going absolutely ham on Hedera crypto for its ETF. Their holdings just jumped to 409.2 million HBAR, up from 390 million yesterday; that’s a massive 19.2 million HBAR added in a single day.

Their position now represents about 0.81% of HBAR’s entire supply, and here’s the kicker: there are still a bunch of other ETFs waiting in the pipeline. If those get approved and start buying too, we could see a serious supply shock that sends the price flying.

The weird part? HBAR still dropped 7% today despite $68 million flowing into the ETF. Price action isn’t matching the institutional buying yet, which could mean we’re in accumulation mode before a bigger move.

This all comes right after Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) officially launched on Hedera, which opens up tokenized BTC liquidity for its expanding DeFi ecosystem. So fundamentally, things are looking pretty strong even if the price isn’t showing it yet..."

The Canary HBAR ETF (HBR) is a U.S. exchange-traded fund that provides direct exposure to the HBAR token, the native cryptocurrency of the Hedera Network. Launched by Canary Capital, the ETF began trading on the Nasdaq in late October 2025 and aims to make it easier for investors to access Hedera's utility without self-custodying the token. The fund's price tracks a CoinDesk benchmark, and it is backed by HBAR tokens held in custody with firms like BitGo and Coinbase Custody.
