The main reason Hedera rolled out Mintbar is to make the network more competitive in the NFT market. It also aims to achieve this by making it easier for Hedera users to create NFTs. This is an important focus for the network given the robust growth that the NFT market contributed to the crypto market in 2022.

Perhaps this development can help Hedera to give more life to the NFT need. The network’s NFT measurements reveal that the number of NFT trades and volume has been on the decline. The second half of the year had significantly lower NFT volumes than the first half of the year.

Can this type of development facilitate more utility for the network? Higher utility levels should in theory translate into higher demand for the original token HBAR. This is likely to be the case if Hedera manages to achieve strong NFT performance.

Can the above observations support favorable sentiments?

In terms of Hedera’s near-term performance, the Mintbar rollout is in line with healthy development activity since early December. But the relevant question is: Will it be enough to facilitate a favorable feeling?

In particular, HBAR’s weighted sentiment has improved significantly over the past three weeks. Thus indicating that investors are becoming more bullish. A look at the weighted sentiment over the past 24 hours revealed no meaningful change.

HBAR delivered a generally bearish performance since early December. However, this means that the probability of a bullish takeover is significantly higher.

How many HBARs can you get for $1?

HBAR made a new 2022 low of $0.040 on Monday (Dec 19) after experiencing more price slippage. This downside briefly pushed it into oversold territory and has since had some upside to the press time price of $0.042.
