How does HBAR actually capture value? @thehbarbull explains that every Hedera service is paid in $HBAR even when priced in USD and why high-volume use cases could generate serious network revenue.

What happened

Hedera’s network requires payment in its native token, HBAR, for all services, even when the service price is quoted in US dollars; therefore, high‑volume usage translates directly into increased HBAR demand and network revenue.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

More HBAR is needed to settle transactions, which can boost token utility and scarcity, potentially supporting higher prices and giving investors exposure to a growing revenue stream from the network’s services.

Analyst inference

In the broader crypto market, tokens that capture real usage fees tend to be valued higher because they generate on‑chain revenue, similar to how traditional payment networks earn fees from transaction volume.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Growth in the number of Hedera‑based applications, because more apps usually mean more transactions and higher HBAR demand. Analyst inference
2. Changes in average transaction size or fee rates, since larger fees increase the amount of HBAR needed to pay for services. Analyst inference
3. HBAR price movements relative to USD, as a rising price can amplify revenue in fiat terms while a falling price may offset fee growth. Analyst inference
