Grace Pfluger, Director of Business Development at the HBAR Foundation, highlights the importance of public oracle price feeds in driving economic behavior on Hedera.
Pyth’s pull oracle model offers timely access to various financial product prices, including cryptocurrencies and ETFs, with minimal latency.
These feeds also feature a confidence interval to provide insights into market volatility, benefiting downstream protocols.
HLiquity, a decentralized borrowing protocol on Hedera, becomes the first to utilize Pyth’s data. This ensures protocol stability by accurately tracking HBAR and Swiss franc prices.
Pyth Network Expands DeFi Capabilities
Pyth Network, a leading financial oracle network, has introduced price feeds for 13 Bitcoin ETFs on February 20. This move is set to empower decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, offering them expanded portfolio options, improved risk management, and increased liquidity to attract institutional capital.
In January 2024, the Hedera Global Governing Council approved an allocation of 4.86 billion HBAR, worth approximately $408 million, to further develop the network and enhance decentralized governance. This initiative reflects Hedera’s commitment to strengthening its infrastructure following a successful 2023, which saw over 33 billion real-world transactions, highlighting its scalability and robustness.
Currently, the price of Hedera’s native token, HBAR, has risen by 6.67% in the last 24 hours, reaching $0.1114. Over the past 7 days, it has experienced a 5.21% increase.
