Understanding Hedera and HBAR
HBAR is the native token of Hedera, a public distributed ledger that utilizes Hashgraph technology.

HBAR is used for transaction fees, staking, and governance within the Hedera network.

This means that a sufficient number of buyers and sellers must enter the market for their orders to be efficiently matched. Additionally, geographic restrictions may apply to HBAR trading.
