Market pulse

Live editorial snapshot — numbers update on every refresh

Today's state: Kaspa is trading at $0.025221 with a $0.7 billion market capitalization (rank #73). The price moved -0.70% over the past 24 hours and is -4.70% over 7 days; the 30-day move stands at -12.60% and the 90-day at +0.00%.

Position vs cycle: Sitting more than 70% under its prior cycle high, the asset is deep in post-peak drawdown territory — a zone associated with late-stage bear phases or a permanent downward re-rating.

Volatility and structure: 30-day realized volatility of 32.4% annualized is moderate for an asset this size. Our composite multi-horizon Price Strength reads Neutral (46/100), with the timeframes pulling in different directions and no clean directional read.

Across the grid, Kaspa has lost 0.70% in the past 24 hours; the 7-day reading is 4.70% lower and the 30-day stands 12.60% lower. Across the past year it shows gains of 0.00%, with a mixed multi-horizon profile and no clear directional bias.

The asset currently trades 87.8% below its all-time high, far enough below the peak that the path back has tended to hinge on renewed narrative demand rather than mechanical mean-reversion. 30-day realized volatility sits at 31% annualized — moderate territory for a crypto asset of this size.

Kaspa currently shows healthy turnover and adequate exchange coverage. 24-hour trading volume represents 0.838% of market capitalization — our liquidity-health composite scores this as Healthy (62/100). This is on the lighter end of the top-100 range; large orders should be sliced into the market rather than executed at once.

The 90-day Pearson correlation of KAS's daily returns versus Bitcoin's is +0.05 — a minimal positive relationship. The tie between Kaspa and Bitcoin is slack over this window, so it tends to add diversification rather than simply amplify BTC.

Cycle context

How the halving has shaped historical and current cycles

Kaspa follows a halving cycle similar in mechanism to Bitcoin's — the block reward is cut on a predictable schedule, producing periodic supply-side compression. While KAS's cycle dynamics have historically tracked Bitcoin's broader rhythm rather than producing fully independent cycles, the halving events themselves have produced meaningful price-action inflection points in past cycles.

For PoW chains other than Bitcoin, the relevant tactical question is generally not "does the halving alone drive a bull cycle?" but rather "does the broader crypto cycle, plus the halving's supply compression, plus any chain-specific narrative produce a structural setup?" When all three align, multi-month outperformance versus Bitcoin has been the historical pattern.

Per the STNews methodology, the projection above is built from three separate models:

  • Technical model projects ranges from moving-average, ATR, Bollinger band and trend-slope inputs — useful when the asset is in a clean trending or ranging regime.
  • Statistical (Monte Carlo) model samples the last 90 days of daily log returns to map the 5th, 50th and 95th percentile outcomes at each horizon, giving a trend-agnostic baseline.
  • Peer-relative model looks at same-category, similar-cap coins and projects the price implied by matching their median, lower-quartile and upper-quartile return profiles, anchoring the forecast to sector behaviour.

The ensemble forecast shown is a weighted average (40% statistical · 30% technical · 30% peer-relative). The confidence badge reflects how closely the three models agree: tighter agreement → higher confidence; wider disagreement → lower confidence, indicating that the asset is in a regime where statistical models alone are unreliable.

Disclaimer: These forecasts are algorithmic estimates derived from public price data using moving averages, Bollinger bands, Monte Carlo simulation of historical log returns, and peer-group comparison. They are not investment advice and should not be used to make trading decisions. Cryptocurrency is highly volatile and can lose all value. Past performance does not guarantee future returns.

To place KAS in the wider market, its 90-day return correlations against the two other largest layer-1s show whether it trades as crypto-market beta or on its own drivers. The Pearson figures across daily log returns:

  • Bitcoin reference: +0.04 — a minimal positive relationship.
  • Ethereum reference: -0.03 — a minimal negative relationship.
  • Solana reference: -0.03 — a minimal negative relationship.

High correlation across several references usually means the asset is mostly crypto-market beta: when BTC, ETH and SOL move, it moves too, and independent alpha is hard to find. Low or negative readings point to its own drivers — project-specific news, intra-crypto sector rotation or narrative shifts — that can decouple it from the broad market.

About Kaspa

Kaspa (KAS) is a cryptocurrency, traded on global digital-asset markets. It trades at $0.0252 as of the latest update, with a 24-hour move down 0.70%, placing it at rank #85 by market capitalisation among all listed digital assets. Kaspa's current market cap stands at $696.87M, a figure used by traders, analysts and institutional desks to gauge relative liquidity and risk exposure across the crypto market.

On this page you'll find a live, daily-refreshed dashboard tracking Kaspa across multiple data sources — price history going back several years, on-chain activity where available, fundamentals like circulating supply and dilution, top exchanges by volume, technical analysis using moving averages and RSI, and an algorithmic short, mid and long-term forecast. All figures are pulled from public APIs and cached locally; nothing here is investment advice.

Kaspa (KAS) is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency designed primarily as digital money — a decentralized, permissionless monetary network where transactions are verified by miners rather than any central authority. Its value proposition rests on credible scarcity, censorship resistance, and the security of its proof-of-work consensus.

By market value, Kaspa sits at rank #73 — a top-100 asset. About 96% of the maximum KAS supply is in circulation today (27.64B of 28.70B), leaving a moderate emission stream still to come. It currently trades about 88% below its all-time high of $0.2074 set in July 2024, while sitting roughly 147.4× above its record low.

STNews Analyst Note

By market value Kaspa (KAS) sits inside the top 100, trading at $0.02522097 as of the latest snapshot. KAS is -0.70% over 24 hours, -4.70% over the past week, -12.60% over 30 days, putting it among the weekly underperformers across the top 250 by market capitalisation. Kaspa remains roughly 88% beneath its all-time high of $0.2074, a level first printed in July 2024. Roughly 96% of KAS's total supply is liquid today (27.64B of 28.70B), with the balance scheduled for gradual release over time.

Trading volume is light versus market value — only about 0.8% of capitalisation changes hands daily — so larger orders can move price more than they would for higher-liquidity peers.

How it works — Kaspa

Kaspa is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency: miners compete to extend the chain by solving a computational puzzle, and the first to find a valid solution earns the block reward. There are no smart contracts, no staking, no validator set, and no on-chain governance. The protocol is intentionally minimal and single-purpose.

Issuance follows a predictable, decreasing schedule. Network security scales with the total computing power dedicated to mining; higher hashrate makes the chain more expensive to attack and is generally viewed as a vote of confidence by miners in the asset's future price.

By market value, Kaspa sits at rank #73 — a top-100 asset. About 96% of the maximum KAS supply is in circulation today (27.64B of 28.70B), leaving a moderate emission stream still to come. It currently trades about 88% below its all-time high of $0.2074 set in July 2024, while sitting roughly 147.4× above its record low.

Use cases — Kaspa

Kaspa is used primarily as a store of value, a medium of exchange, and a settlement layer. It is not a smart-contract platform and does not host decentralized applications. Adoption typically reflects two themes: digital sound money (similar to Bitcoin's thesis) and cheap, fast peer-to-peer payments where the parent monetary network is congested or expensive.

Daily turnover is light — roughly 0.75% of market cap ($5.23M over 24 hours) — so larger orders are best worked into the market gradually to limit slippage.

Tokenomics

Supply schedule & distribution

Circulating vs locked vs unminted
  • Circulating supply: 27.64B KAS — tokens actively trading and held by the public
  • Total supply: 27.64B KAS — all tokens minted to date (including those locked or held by the issuer)
  • Max supply: 28.70B KAS — the protocol-defined upper limit (if any) on lifetime issuance
  • Issued to date: 96.3% of max supply
  • Locked / treasury: 0% of total supply

Kaspa's supply schedule directly affects its long-term inflation rate and, by extension, how dilutive future issuance will be to existing holders. A coin near full dilution behaves very differently from one that still has 60% of its supply waiting to be unlocked.

Supply economics

Issuance pressure, dilution, and structural value accrual

Kaspa's tokenomics combine its supply schedule, current circulating supply, and the relationship between circulating market cap and fully-diluted valuation. At 96.3% of maximum supply already issued, the remaining issuance is a relatively small fraction of total potential supply. Sell pressure from future issuance is therefore limited.

For thesis-building, the relevant question is whether the structural value-accrual mechanism (fee burns, staking-yield reinvestment, deflationary supply mechanics, ecosystem TVL growth) outpaces the structural emission pressure. When it does, the price tends to grind higher over multi-quarter windows even without speculative momentum; when it does not, the asset typically requires consistent narrative-driven demand to absorb the issuance.

Trader's note

Coin-type-aware tactical interpretation

For Kaspa, the tactical framework that has historically mattered most is the four-year cycle anchored to the halving. The current cycle's position determines whether the strategic posture is accumulation (early-cycle, post-halving) or distribution-aware (late-cycle, parabolic). Network-health metrics — hashrate, difficulty trajectory, mempool fees — provide the same kind of signal for KAS that earnings provide for equities: the underlying business of mining is either growing or contracting, and the price tends to follow over multi-quarter windows.

The Price Strength composite at 46/100 reads as neutral. Combined with the 88% from all-time high, this is the kind of setup that has historically rewarded patience: careful entries near support outperform chasing rebounds. Position sizing should reflect that PoW-chain volatility tends to amplify both directions, with single-week moves of 15%+ entirely normal.

Macro & cross-asset context

How macro liquidity and cross-asset moves frame the trade

At the top of the macro stack sit interest rates, dollar liquidity and risk appetite, and crypto has tended to amplify all three. Easing financial conditions and a weaker dollar have historically pulled the sector up; tightening liquidity and a firmer dollar have reliably pulled it back down.

Several traditional markets serve as useful cross-checks: a strong dollar (DXY) has tended to weigh on crypto; rising 10-year Treasury yields raise the cost of holding risk; gold occasionally trades as a parallel hard-money hedge; and US equities frequently move in sympathy with crypto when the driver is liquidity rather than fundamentals.

Narrowing to Kaspa, the cleanest leading signal has usually been crypto-native liquidity — the combined trend in stablecoin supply, futures open interest and exchange turnover. When that pool of on-chain capital grows, KAS has tended to advance with it; when it drains, the move has typically gone into reverse. With a comparatively loose 90-day BTC correlation of +0.04, KAS has shown more idiosyncratic price behaviour than the average large-cap — its own catalysts can matter as much as the broad liquidity tide.

Risks

Key risks include: mining centralization (smaller PoW chains are easier to 51%-attack), declining hashrate relative to Bitcoin (which raises the relative cost of attack), regulatory pressure on energy use, and price-action sensitivity to Bitcoin (most PoW altcoins carry strong BTC correlation). Position sizing should reflect that PoW-altcoin volatility tends to amplify BTC moves in both directions.
