Ayman ‘AiMan’ Mufleh has published an HBAR “rich list” while arguing the token could eventually approach Ethereum’s market capitalization. His latest YouTube video episode puts HBAR at roughly $0.07 to $0.08 at the time of recording and suggests a move to Ethereum’s (ETH) valuation would price each token at $6.76, or about 89 times higher than current levels.
The claim matters because it frames Hedera not merely as a recovery trade from a bear market, but as a long-term large-cap blockchain contender. The host said HBAR could reach $1, $2 or $3 in the next bull run, while later suggesting a $5.60 to $10 range could be possible by 2030.
An HBAR “rich list” starts with a single token
The video’s central hook is a community-style ownership ranking. Holding between one and 1,000 HBAR places an investor in the “worm” category, according to the host, while 5,000 HBAR qualifies as “shrimp” and 10,000 as “crab.”

The thresholds rise to 25,000 HBAR for an “octopus” and 50,000 for a “fish.” The speaker also referenced dolphins, sharks, whales and “big whales,” though the transcript does not provide all of their respective holding levels.
The host encouraged viewers who own Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP or other cryptocurrencies to hold at least one HBAR. That is a promotional opinion rather than an investment recommendation supported by financial analysis in the video.
Ethereum comparison rests on governance and tokenization claims
The presenter’s case for a far higher HBAR valuation centers on Hedera’s governing council and institutional connections. They described the council as one of the strongest in the industry and highlighted State Street and BlackRock as two major asset managers connected, directly or indirectly, to tokenization activity involving Hedera.
The video specifically says State Street controls more than $10 trillion in assets and BlackRock more than $15 trillion, and claims both are involved in efforts to tokenize U.S. money-market funds through arrangements linked to Hedera.
The most useful point is the scale of the valuation assumption. A price target based on matching Ethereum’s (ETH) market cap massively depends on HBAR supply, adoption, network revenues, market conditions and competition evolving favorably over several years.
The “rich list” may be a useful community benchmark, but it offers little guidance on risk, portfolio sizing or the likelihood of the host’s price projections.
