Hedera Hashgraph Joins Google BigQuery Public Datasets – A Game-Changer for Blockchain Analytics

Google BigQuery just leveled up its crypto cred—Hedera Hashgraph’s distributed ledger data is now live on the platform. Enterprise devs and quants get instant access to enterprise-grade DLT analytics without running a node.

Why it matters: Querying HBAR transactions just went from 'archival nightmare' to 'SQL snippet.' Hedera’s DAG-based architecture claims 10,000+ TPS—now analysts can fact-check that in BigQuery’s sandbox.

The fine print: While hedge funds will salivate over this firehose of timestamped consensus data, retail traders will keep gambling on memecoins. Some things never change.

Hedera Hashgraph Data Now Live On Google BigQuery

In a post amplifying the rollout, the foundation highlighted the practical upshot for developers and analysts: “Hedera’s inclusion in BigQuery public datasets allows developers, analysts, and enterprises to query the full transaction history of the Hedera network, just as they can for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Polkadot, Tron, and other blockchains,” positioning HBAR’s ledger data alongside the industry’s most widely queried chains.

The Foundation characterizes the work as a cross-organizational effort “led by the Foundation” and supported by Ariane Labs as well as engineers from Hashgraph and Hedera, with Google’s role framed as infrastructure provider via Google Cloud.

The Foundation’s public messaging on X reinforced that context—this is an HBAR-side push into Google’s existing analytics venue rather than a Google-driven product initiative. The announcement post states that Hedera “has been added to Google Cloud BigQuery public datasets,” and directs readers to the Foundation’s blog for details, underscoring that the dataset onboarding flows through HBAR’s own open-source ETL and deployment pipelines.

The MOVE adds an institutional-grade window into HBAR’s on-chain activity without forcing users to run their own indexing stack. According to the Foundation’s technical note, the dataset targets parity with other BigQuery-hosted chains to enable like-for-like comparisons.

That includes analyzing execution and fee dynamics, tracking HTS-based tokenized assets and NFTs, and studying smart-contract and DeFi activity across networks. The Foundation also says it has open-sourced the ETL scripts and deployment frameworks so the broader community can contribute and keep the schema aligned with network upgrades—another signal that the effort is community-led rather than Google-owned.

The listing arrives against a long-running backdrop of collaboration between Hedera and Google Cloud. In February 2020, Google Cloud announced it WOULD join the Hedera Governing Council, operate a network node, and make ledger data available “alongside GCP’s other public DLT datasets.”

For developers and analysts, the significance is pragmatic, not flashy. Hedera now sits in the same analytics corridor that many shops already use for Bitcoin and ethereum studies, which means existing SQL-based research pipelines, BI dashboards, and even ESG-oriented supply-chain audits can query Hedera side-by-side with other networks without bespoke infrastructure.

Market response was constructive at the margin. At press time, HBAR has outperformed the broader crypto market over the past 24 hours, rising roughly 3.8% while many large-caps traded lower over the same window. At press time, HBAR traded at $0.188.
