Ayman ‘AiMan’ Mufleh, a commentator known for his crypto market analysis, has unveiled a new “rich list” for Hedera‘s native token HBAR and presented a bullish price scenario in a recent YouTube video. Mufleh set HBAR’s recent trading price at $0.07 to $0.08 and argued that if its market capitalization were to equal Ethereum’s, each HBAR could be valued at $6.76. This price would represent an 89-fold increase from current levels.
Outlook for HBAR pricing
Mufleh identified HBAR as a project with long-term growth potential, positioning it as a serious contender in the large-cap blockchain sector. He discussed possible price milestones, suggesting that HBAR could rise to $1, $2, or $3 in the next major bull run, and floated a speculative range between $5.60 and $10 by 2030. However, these figures are based on broad assumptions regarding future adoption and market trends.
The video’s main attraction is a community-generated ownership ranking called the “rich list.” According to Mufleh, holders with as little as one to 1,000 HBAR are called “worms,” those with 5,000 are “shrimp,” and holders with 10,000 coins qualify as “crabs.” Larger amounts grant titles such as “octopus” at 25,000 HBAR and “fish” at 50,000 HBAR. While he mentioned dolphin, shark, whale, and “big whale” tiers, the video did not detail the required holdings for each.
He encouraged crypto investors holding Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, or other digital assets to consider adding at least one HBAR token to their portfolios. This suggestion, however, was presented as a personal opinion rather than a professional investment recommendation.

AAPLEthereum comparison and the Hedera council
Mufleh’s argument for a dramatically higher HBAR valuation draws from Hedera’s governance structure and its partnerships with major institutions. The Hedera Governing Council consists of prominent global organizations that advise and help oversee network operations. Mufleh highlighted State Street and BlackRock among these connections, noting both firms’ involvement in asset tokenization efforts linked to the Hedera network.
State Street is an international financial services company managing over $10 trillion in assets, while BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager with more than $15 trillion under management. Both have been cited in relation to pilot projects designed to tokenize U.S. money-market funds on blockchain platforms, with some initiatives reportedly associated with Hedera.
Mini dictionary: Hedera Governing Council – A group of multinational organizations and institutions responsible for overseeing Hedera’s decentralized governance and network decision-making. Members rotate periodically and help ensure network transparency and security.
The thesis that HBAR could match Ethereum’s market capitalization assumes substantial growth in user adoption, network revenues, and institutional engagement, as well as favorable market conditions and limited competition over several years.
| Metric | Ethereum (ETH) | Hedera (HBAR) Current | HBAR (Projected) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Token price | N/A | $0.07–$0.08 | $6.76 |
| Market cap | Reference point | Significantly lower | Equal to Ethereum |
| Multiplication factor | N/A | 1x | 89x |
Mufleh’s “rich list” offers a framework for community engagement and investor rankings but provides little practical information on risk assessment, portfolio sizing, or the probability of reaching the suggested price targets.
Mufleh outlines HBAR’s potential by comparing its future value to Ethereum, noting that reaching a $6.76 price per token would depend on expanded adoption, increased network participation, and ongoing institutional involvement guided by Hedera’s council.
