- The Axelar and Hedera integration enables seamless cross-chain asset transfers across 60+ blockchains through the Interchain Amplifier framework.
- This partnership strengthens Hedera’s institutional DeFi potential by expanding access to liquidity and connectivity to a broader multi-chain ecosystem.
The Axelar and Hedera integration is now officially live and enables access to cross-chain asset transfers across over 60 blockchains without the need for complex bridging processes.
This development is all the more exciting as it comes amidst HBAR pricing pressures that are currently hitting key demand areas.
Despite unfriendly market dynamics, this combination of technological factors and ecosystem development has revived the conversation around Hedera.

Seamlessly connect Hedera to broader, faster cross-chain networks
Axelar is introducing Interchain Amplifier as the core foundation for this integration. This tool allows networks like Hedera to connect without complex processes, and also provides a natural path for assets from different chains to enter and exit the Hedera network.
For developers and institutions, this can save a lot of time, especially since Hedera is known for its fast infrastructure and stable transaction fees.
Additionally, Hedera has a unique appeal through hashgraph consensus, which can process thousands of transactions per second. This integration feels logical, especially as the multi-chain ecosystem becomes more crowded and the need for interoperability continues to grow.
However, although the network is currently connected to dozens of chains, usage data is still not fully visible.
Since the cross-chain transfer volume has not been published in detail, some analysts are still waiting for further developments to see if this integration will be used actively right away or gradually following the pattern of institutional adoption.
Meanwhile, CNF previously reported that Hedera had joined the national network of digital chambers to strengthen the direction of US digital asset policy.
The move underscores Hedera’s regulatory ambitions, which are relatively undisclosed but have implications for its long-term strategy.
Last week, Hedera also announced a partnership with Google Cloud to provide institutional-grade data access. Through BigQuery, it will be possible to directly compare Hedera’s trading activity with other networks, opening up a broader analytical space for researchers and market participants.
HBAR Price Faces Significant Test of Weekly Demand Zone
Interestingly, this major development comes at a time when HBAR price is in a highly sensitive area.
According to Crypto Pulse, HBAR is currently just inside the weekly demand zone, an area that has caused multiple price reversals so far.
Typically, this is the point when buyers start defending their positions, and as long as the price remains above that, there is still a chance of a rebound towards $0.17-$0.19.

However, the short-term price situation is not entirely comfortable. As of this writing, HBAR is approximately $0.132bottom 2.78% within the last 4 hours and 10.41% within the last 24 hours.
Such movements make weekly demand zones even more important than usual. Crypto Pulse also warns that if the weekly candlestick closes below $0.12, the bullish scenario could be invalidated as the market structure changes and further declines are possible.
