Hedera and Axelar Team Up to Open Access Across 60 Blockchains

• Axelar’s integration with Hedera enables seamless cross-chain asset transfers across more than 60 blockchains through the Interchain Amplifier framework.
• The collaboration strengthens Hedera’s institutional DeFi potential by expanding liquidity access and connectivity to a wide multichain ecosystem.

The Axelar and Hedera integration is now officially live, opening access to cross-chain asset transfers across over 60 blockchains without the need for a complicated bridging process.

This development is all the more exciting as it comes amid HBAR price pressure, which is currently hitting a key demand area.

This combination of technical factors and ecosystem developments has revived the conversation around Hedera, despite the market’s unfriendly movements.

Connecting Hedera Seamlessly to a Broader and Faster Cross-Chain Network

Axelar is bringing the Interchain Amplifier as the core foundation of this integration. This tool allows networks like Hedera to connect without a complicated process, while also providing a natural pathway for assets from different chains to move in and out of the Hedera network.

For developers and institutions, this can save significant time, especially since Hedera is known for its fast infrastructure and stable transaction fees.

Furthermore, Hedera has a unique appeal through its hashgraph consensus, capable of handling thousands of transactions per second. This integration feels logical, especially as the multichain ecosystem becomes more crowded and the need for interoperability continues to grow.

However, although the network is now connected to dozens of chains, usage data is not yet fully visible.

Cross-chain transfer volumes have not been published in detail, so some analysts are still waiting for further developments to see whether this integration will be actively used immediately or will be gradual, following the pattern of institutional adoption.

On the other hand, the CNF previously reported that Hedera had joined the Digital Chamber’s State Network to strengthen the direction of digital asset policy in the United States.

This move underscores Hedera’s regulatory ambitions, something that has been relatively undisclosed but has implications for its long-term strategy.

Furthermore, last week, Hedera also announced a partnership with Google Cloud to provide institutional-grade data access. Through BigQuery, Hedera’s transaction activity can now be directly compared with other networks, opening up a broader analytical space for researchers and market participants.

HBAR Price Faces a Critical Weekly Demand Zone Test

Interestingly, this major development comes at a time when the HBAR price is in a quite sensitive area.

According to Crypto Pulse, HBAR is now right inside the weekly demand zone, an area that has previously triggered multiple price reversals.

This is where buyers typically begin to defend their positions, and as long as the price remains above it, there’s still a chance of a rebound towards $0.17–$0.19.

However, short-term price conditions aren’t entirely comfortable. As of press time, HBAR is trading at about $0.132, down 2.78% in the last 4 hours and 10.41% in the last 24 hours.

Movements like this make the weekly demand zone even more crucial than usual. Crypto Pulse also warns that the bullish scenario could be invalidated if the weekly candle closes below $0.12, as this would change the market structure and allow for further declines.
