Kaspa Entity X Now Holds 1.47B $KAS
GT Gate KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
A wallet cluster tracked on-chain as Entity X has lifted its total Kaspa ($KAS) position to 1.47 billion tokens, valued at approximately $42.9 million at current prices, making it the largest known non-exchange holder on the Kaspa network.

Fresh Inflows From Major Exchanges The latest leg of accumulation included a fresh inflow of 6.8 million $KAS drawn from liquidity pools at @Bybit_Official, @Gate, and @Bitget. The movement confirms a pattern of deliberate, exchange-sourced buying rather than peer-to-peer transfers, suggesting the entity is actively pulling tokens off trading venues and into cold or self-custodied storage.

On-chain data shows accumulation patterns consistent with whale positioning ahead of a known catalyst, a familiar playbook in crypto, but one that tends to accelerate when the underlying technical event is concrete rather than speculative. The @kaspaunchained ecosystem has been scaling toward a broader network upgrade, adding a layer of context to the timing of these moves.

Why the Kaspa Network Is Drawing Attention Kaspa has carved out a unique place in the cryptocurrency space as a pure proof-of-work Layer 1 blockchain built on a blockDAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) structure rather than a traditional linear chain. While Bitcoin processes a single chain of blocks and discards competing ones as orphans, Kaspa's BlockDAG architecture weaves those competing blocks into the ledger itself, enabling parallel block processing at a speed that no other proof-of-work network comes close to matching.

The Toccata hard fork successfully activated on Kaspa's mainnet, marking its most significant upgrade. It transitions the network from a high-speed proof-of-work payments chain to a programmable base-layer blockchain, introducing native Layer-1 covenant systems for expressive smart contracts, zero-knowledge proof verification opcodes, and support for KRC-20 tokens, all without requiring a global virtual machine.

Following that upgrade, the network is set to scale throughput through a series of structured block rate increases, moving from the current 10 blocks per second to 25 BPS, then to 40 BPS, and ultimately targeting 100 BPS as its long-term objective. On-chain data cited by analysts indicates declining Kaspa token balances on cryptocurrency exchanges, suggesting increased movement into self-custody wallets, a pattern interpreted as indicative of long-term holding behavior rather than active trading activity.

Whether Entity X represents a single institutional player or a coordinated group remains unknown. What the on-chain record shows clearly is a sustained, directional bet on the network at scale.

Arbitrum, ICP, Kaspa, and Stargate LLM – The Next 100x Crypto
ARB Arbitrum KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Pay for the premium tier of any centralized AI platform, and rate limits still hit during peak hours. That’s not a bug. It’s the ceiling every centralized AI platform eventually reaches, because one company’s data centers can only handle so much demand at once, no matter how much money gets thrown at the problem.

Arbitrum, Internet Computer, and Kaspa each tackle a different piece of crypto’s scaling puzzle, yet none were built specifically to solve AI’s compute bottleneck. For anyone tracking the next 100x crypto, that’s the gap Stargate LLM’s Grid is aimed at.

What Happens When One Company’s Servers Aren’t Enough Table of Contents

What Happens When One Company’s Servers Aren’t EnoughLG’s Enterprise Bet on Arbitrum Hasn’t Reached the Price YetA Trillion-Dollar Ambition, a $1.2 Billion RealityKaspa Rallied on Real News. Its Own Miners Sold Into the Move.Final Say The problem isn’t unique to any one AI platform. Rate limits during peak hours are the ceiling every centralized system eventually hits, because a single company’s data centers can only absorb so much demand regardless of the price tag attached to the premium tier. Stargate LLM‘s Grid takes a different structural approach: crowdsourcing compute from a distributed network of contributors instead of concentrating it inside one company’s server farms, so capacity grows as more people join rather than staying fixed to one balance sheet.

This is the pitch for power users and businesses who’ve personally hit a rate limit or a slowdown on a paid tier, an experience that’s rarely discussed publicly but genuinely frustrating: paying full price for capacity that isn’t reliably there the moment demand spikes. Stargate LLM’s chat, image generation, video generation, private search, and agent marketplace all sit on top of that distributed compute layer rather than a single data center somewhere.

The presale runs across ten pricing stages, from $0.0005 to $0.0125, on the way to a confirmed $0.025 launch price. Stage 1 carries a 50x ratio to that target, the widest gap in the entire structure. Total supply is fixed at 150 billion tokens. Of that, 96% goes to community, ecosystem, and presale participants, and just 1% sits with the core team.

For anyone genuinely hunting the next 100x crypto, a decentralized compute layer paired with a presale still priced before the wider market has weighed in is a different kind of bet than a token riding purely on speculation.

LG’s Enterprise Bet on Arbitrum Hasn’t Reached the Price Yet LG Electronics partnered with Arbitrum to build a custom Layer 2 blockchain for automating digital advertising transactions, completing a pilot with a Japanese advertising agency and evaluating a commercial rollout before the end of 2026.LG Electronics partnered with Arbitrum to develop a custom Layer 2 blockchain designed to automate the buying and selling of digital advertising, completing a pilot with a Japanese advertising agency.

That’s a real enterprise validation of Layer 2 technology. ARB trades near $0.08, roughly 97% below its all-time high of $2.40 set in January 2024, and a scheduled token unlock on July 16 will release close to 93 million ARB, adding fresh supply pressure right as the enterprise story is still building momentum.

A Trillion-Dollar Ambition, a $1.2 Billion Reality Internet Computer positions itself as sovereign, decentralized cloud infrastructure capable of hosting entire applications on-chain, aimed squarely at the trillion-dollar cloud computing market currently dominated by centralized providers.

The Internet Computer is a decentralized cloud blockchain that pursues the $1+ trillion cloud market, hosting apps, websites, and enterprise systems fully onchain. The ambition is genuinely large. The market cap isn’t. ICP trades near $2.14 to $2.18, with a total valuation just over $1.2 billion, sitting roughly 99.7% below its all-time high near $700.

Kaspa Rallied on Real News. Its Own Miners Sold Into the Move. Kaspa is trading near $0.030, with a market cap around $830 million, after a recent smart contract hard fork and network upgrade triggered a short-term price surge. As of Jul 7, 2026, Kaspa (KAS) is trading at $0.0302 with a market cap of $830.20M, having recently experienced short-term volatility due to a network upgrade and smart contract hard fork.

That surge has since run into resistance, and heavy miner distribution is adding sell pressure right as the technical setup tries to hold its gains.

Final Say A real enterprise partnership, a trillion-dollar ambition, and a genuine network upgrade, Arbitrum, Internet Computer, and Kaspa each have something legitimate behind this week’s price action, even if none of it has fully shown up in the charts yet.

None of the three was purpose-built to solve AI’s specific compute ceiling, which is exactly what Stargate LLM’s decentralized Grid is aimed at. Stage 1 remains open before the price steps up through nine more stages.

Four different bets on the same underlying question: whose infrastructure is actually built to scale with what comes next.

What Kaspa's Toccata fork actually unlocks
KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Kaspa ($KAS) has activated the Toccata hard fork, an upgrade that marks a fundamental shift for what has long been marketed as the fastest pure proof-of-work blockchain. The fork moves Kaspa well beyond its payments-layer origins, introducing programmability directly at the base layer without abandoning the BlockDAG architecture or proof-of-work consensus that define the network.

Covenants, native tokens, and ZK proofs land on Layer 1 The centrepiece of the upgrade is the addition of covenants, programmable rules attached directly to transactions. Previously, Kaspa's UTXO model only controlled who could spend coins. After Toccata, developers can create conditions that determine how and when coins are spent, opening the door for smart wallets, escrow services, time-locked vaults, and decentralised finance applications.

The hard fork also introduces native KRC-20 tokens and covenant programming via the SilverScript compiler, transforming Kaspa from a fast payments layer into a programmable proof-of-work Layer 1 that can support DeFi and NFTs directly on its base layer. Previously, KRC-20 tokens operated through inscription-style mechanisms, relying on off-chain indexing and external infrastructure, which introduced inefficiencies and limitations. Under the new regime, token creation, transfers, and atomic operations become part of consensus rules, giving users lower fees, trustless atomic swaps, and seamless integration without bridges or wrapped assets.

The third pillar is zero-knowledge infrastructure. The Toccata upgrade adds zero-knowledge proof verification opcodes at the protocol level, enabling native ZK proof verification on Layer 1. With ZK verification primitives, Kaspa can serve as a settlement layer for ZK rollups: Layer 2 solutions can perform heavy computation off-chain and submit only compact validity proofs to Layer 1.

Core developer Michael Sutton has described Toccata as the point where Kaspa's high-frequency monetary base layer meets programmability in two layered forms: native L1 covenant systems, and based ZK systems built on top of the same foundations.

Two EVM-compatible Layer 2s already building on top The Toccata upgrade is complemented by two distinct Layer 2 solutions, Kasplex and Igra, with independent testing showing that both achieve full EVM compatibility and significant cost advantages, positioning them as viable alternatives to Ethereum for developers. Kasplex operates as a traditional rollup offering immediate EVM compatibility and faster finality, while Igra operates as a decentralised rollup built directly on Kaspa's BlockDAG, offering L1-backed security and community-node processing from day one.

On the Layer 1 covenant path, developers can write covenant-based applications directly on Kaspa using the SilverScript compiler, implementing advanced UTXO-based workflows and programmable transaction constraints within Kaspa's scripting environment. For more complex applications, the ZK infrastructure introduced in Toccata enables developers to build ZK applications that inherit transaction ordering from Layer 1 while performing computation externally and submitting cryptographic proofs back to the chain, supporting rollups, canonical bridges, and other proof-based applications anchored to Kaspa's DAG.

The upgrade represents a decisive architectural bet: that bounded, UTXO-native programmability can attract serious developer activity without the global-state overhead that comes with a full virtual machine. Whether that gamble pays off will depend on how quickly the ecosystem around Toccata's new primitives matures.

Kaspa's Toccata hard fork is live on mainnet
KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Kaspa Crosses Into Programmable TerritoryKaspa's Toccata hard fork went live on mainnet on June 30, 2026, marking what the project describes as the biggest upgrade in its history. The hard fork activated at DAA score 474,165,565, roughly at 16:15 UTC. The upgrade draws a clear line between what Kaspa was and what it is now becoming: a chain that started as a high-speed payments network and is now reaching for full programmability at the base layer.

Toccata marks the point where Kaspa's high-frequency monetary base layer meets programmability in two layered forms: native L1 covenant systems, and based zero-knowledge systems built on top of the same foundations. That is a significant departure from Kaspa's original identity as a pure proof-of-work payments chain.

What Toccata Actually DeliversThe consensus-changing upgrade introduces native L1 covenant support and transaction introspection, allowing for expressive stateful contracts on $KAS, alongside an OpZkPrecompile for trustless L1 ZK proof verification and partitioned sequencing commitments to support ZK applications.

The upgrade introduces native KRC-20 tokens, covenant programming via SilverScript, and zero-knowledge verification directly on the base layer, designed to shift the network's appeal from pure transaction speed toward supporting application development and privacy-enhanced use cases.

The fork does not, however, ship finished applications. It lays the protocol infrastructure that developers need to build on top. The upgrade activates the protocol infrastructure for covenant-based Layer-1 applications and zero-knowledge systems anchored to Kaspa's BlockDAG. The race now begins for what actually gets built.

The hard fork brings new utility, which means new SDKs and APIs will increasingly target a new developer audience, while classic Kaspa APIs should continue working without change. For node operators and miners, the operational story is straightforward: upgrade nodes, and everything that already works should keep working.

Toccata follows Kaspa's Crescendo hard fork, which in May 2025 increased block production from one block per second to ten blocks per second, achieving one of the highest base-layer throughputs in the proof-of-work space. The question now is whether Toccata's programmability layer can attract the developer activity needed to match that technical foundation.

Kaspa price prediction: Sell-the-news reaction wipes out recent gains
KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
The Kaspa [KAS] network’s Toccata hard fork was completed successfully on Tuesday, June 30. This upgrade introduces smart contract functionality while adding support for KRC-20 tokens.

The price of the KAS token rallied 20.38%, from a low of $0.0266 on Thursday, June 25, to $0.032 on the day of writing. This price surge likely came as a result of speculators and traders positioning themselves for the hard fork.

However, the altcoin has shed 7.8% within 10 hours of trading. What should KAS traders expect next?

The Kaspa long-term price downtrend Source: KAS/USDT on TradingView On the 1-day timeframe, the structure of Kaspa has been steadily bearish. The latest bearish leg was made earlier in 2026, from $0.0532 to $0.0249. Since February, KAS has lacked a decisive long-term trend and has twice managed to challenge the $0.04 supply zone.

It was rebuffed in March and May, and the market-wide sell-offs in the past two months have pushed KAS closer to the $0.025 swing low.

The MACD was moving below the zero line to show bearish market momentum. Meanwhile, the CMF was at -0.17, well below the -0.05 threshold that signals significant capital outflows.

The price structure and technicals agree on a bearish long-term outlook.

Traders’ call to action- Sell the news event confirms bearish sentiment Source: KAS/USDT on TradingView On the 1-hour timeframe, the recent gains tilted the MACD briefly in bullish favor, and the CMF also signaled increased buying pressure over the past five days. The $0.03 local resistance was overcome briefly as the hardfork got closer to going live.

In recent hours, the swift sell-off confirmed that the short-term gains were only used as a selling opportunity.

Source: CoinGlass The liquidation heatmap also noted a build-up of short liquidation levels just above the $0.03 round-number resistance. The price move above swept this magnetic zone neatly and has already begun to reverse.

In the coming days and weeks, a price drop to $0.0249 and $0.020 was a possibility swing traders and investors must be prepared for.

Final Summary The recent Kaspa token price gains were part of a sell-the-news type event as the Tocatta Hardfork got closer. The long-term price trend was bearish and a drop below the February 2026 swing low at $0.0249 appeared likely.

— ChoiiMhiee 𐤊 (@mhieechoii) June 30, 2026 The upgrade introduces native smart contract functionality through the SilverScript programming language, while also adding support for KRC-20 tokens, decentralized finance applications, and zero-knowledge privacy features.

Together, these additions remove one of the network’s biggest limitations by expanding Kaspa beyond its original role as a high-speed proof-of-work payment blockchain.

Toccata upgrade has changed Kaspa’s utility With the hard fork approaching, trading activity has accelerated as investors position for higher on-chain activity. According to the Kaspa network, the upgrade is expected to enable developers to build decentralized applications directly on Kaspa by introducing native smart contract functionality, expanding the network beyond its traditional payment use case.

On-chain activity has also supported the bullish narrative. The network is approaching a cumulative milestone of roughly 2.35 billion transactions, demonstrating continued usage of its BlockDAG architecture even as new features are introduced. Supporters of the network have long argued that BlockDAG enables higher parallel transaction throughput than conventional blockchain designs, reducing congestion during periods of elevated demand.

The technical setup amplified the move. Before the hard fork, Kaspa had spent several months trading inside a prolonged consolidation range, with buyers repeatedly defending the $0.025-$0.030 area. The upgrade arrived while many derivatives traders remained positioned for further downside, creating conditions for a short squeeze as spot demand increased.

Forced liquidations of bearish positions added momentum to the rally once price broke above its recent trading range.

The daily chart also shows the recovery pushing KAS back above its 20-day simple moving average near $0.030 while testing resistance around the 50-day moving average near $0.0317. At the same time, the MACD has produced a bullish crossover with the histogram turning positive, indicating improving momentum. 

Kaspa 1-day USDT chart — June 30 | Source: crypto.news Still, the token trades below its declining 100-day and 200-day moving averages, suggesting that a sustained trend reversal would require additional buying pressure.

Technical buying has outweighed macro headwinds Kaspa’s rally has unfolded while much of the cryptocurrency market continues to struggle under an unfavorable macro backdrop. A stronger-than-expected 4.1% U.S. Core PCE inflation reading and the Federal Reserve’s hawkish policy stance under Chair Kevin Warsh have pressured risk assets in recent days, contributing to an estimated $1.79 billion in cumulative outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds.

Unlike many proof-of-stake networks, however, Kaspa operates on a proof-of-work model with approximately 95.4% of its maximum supply already in circulation. With new token issuance steadily declining over time, the introduction of smart contracts and execution fees through the Toccata upgrade has strengthened the network’s utility without materially increasing supply.

Those supply dynamics, combined with renewed developer opportunities and short-covering activity, have helped Kaspa outperform most major cryptocurrencies even as capital has continued flowing out of other digital assets.

Whether the rally extends from here may depend on whether buyers can reclaim resistance around the 50-day and 100-day moving averages before challenging the longer-term 200-day average near $0.0353.

Kaspa Leads Market Performance Ahead Of Toccata Programmability Hard Fork
KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
KAS Tops Daily Performers as Fork ApproachesKaspa ($KAS) is the top-performing major cryptocurrency on June 30, 2026, posting an 8.7% gain over the prior 24 hours as traders position ahead of the imminent Toccata hard fork. Daily trading volume has surged nearly 100% to $22.2 million, with significant liquidity concentrated on KuCoin and Bybit. KuCoin remains the most active venue for KAS, with its KAS/USDT pair leading exchange volume.

The move comes as the network approaches a notable milestone. Kaspa's Layer 1 blockchain has processed approximately 2.347 billion transactions, and the Toccata hard fork will transition the chain from a payments network to a programmable Layer 1. That cumulative activity reflects a period of rapid throughput growth underpinned by Kaspa's BlockDAG architecture, which uses the GHOSTDAG protocol to allow parallel block processing at 10 blocks per second, positioning it as the fastest pure proof-of-work blockchain.

What Toccata ChangesToccata is widely regarded as the most consequential upgrade in Kaspa's history. The hard fork introduces native KRC-20 tokens, covenant programming via the SilverScript compiler, and zero-knowledge verification opcodes, transforming Kaspa from a fast payments layer into a programmable proof-of-work Layer 1 that can support DeFi and NFTs directly on its base layer.

At a high level, Toccata brings two new programmability paths: a brand new compiler for utilizing script capabilities directly on Layer 1 via SilverScript, and the infrastructure for a ZK layer built over those same covenant foundations. Kaspa core developer Michael Sutton has described the upgrade as the point where Kaspa's high-frequency monetary base layer meets programmability in two layered forms: native L1 covenant systems, and based ZK systems built on top of the same foundations.

Importantly, the upgrade does not deliver applications itself. Instead, it activates the protocol foundation that allows those systems to be built on top of the network. Developer adoption following activation will be the key variable in determining whether the fork translates into sustained price and ecosystem growth.

On the institutional side, Zodia Custody, backed by Standard Chartered, now offers institutional custody for KAS, and Valour lists a physically backed Kaspa ETP on Sweden's Spotlight Stock Market. Meanwhile, the Kaskad lending protocol on Kaspa's Igra Layer 2 surpassed $2 million in total value locked in June 2026. Those developments add structural context to the current price move, though analysts note the broader ecosystem remains in an early stage.

Kaspa is approaching 2.35 BILLION transactions.
KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
According to data from the official @kaspaunchained explorer, Kaspa's Layer 1 blockchain has now processed roughly 2,347,000,000 transactions, placing it among the highest cumulative transaction counts of any major network. The figure represents a dramatic leap in activity for a proof-of-work chain that only launched in November 2021.

Built for Speed on a Proof-of-Work Foundation Kaspa's transaction throughput is underpinned by its blockDAG architecture, which uses the GHOSTDAG consensus protocol to allow parallel block creation rather than the single-block linear approach used by Bitcoin and Ethereum. Following the Crescendo hardfork earlier in 2025, Kaspa's block rate increased from one block per second to ten blocks per second, drastically boosting throughput. Since that upgrade, the network has operated at a steady 10 blocks per second, delivering 100-millisecond block times and sub-7-second finality.

The numbers behind that architecture are hard to ignore. On October 2, 2025, Kaspa set a new world record for proof-of-work throughput by reaching 5,584 transactions per second under real network conditions, surpassing its own previous record of 4,757 TPS achieved just days earlier. These figures were recorded on Kaspa's live mainnet under genuine transaction load, not testnet simulations. On October 5, 2025, the network processed 158,441,966 transactions within a single 24-hour window.

The Valuation Question: $770M Market Cap vs. 2.35 Billion Transactions Kaspa currently holds a live market cap of approximately $770 million, with a circulating supply of around 27.5 billion KAS coins out of a maximum supply of 28.7 billion. That places $KAS in a middle tier of Layer 1 assets by market value, despite its outsized on-chain activity relative to peers.

The supply picture is a key part of the valuation debate. Approximately 95.4% of Kaspa's 28.7 billion maximum supply is already in circulation, with emissions nearing zero by end-2026. New selling pressure primarily comes from miners selling rewards, not token unlocks. That dynamic could reduce dilution risk over time, but it also means the network must attract fresh demand to sustain price levels.

On the protocol side, a significant catalyst is imminent. The upcoming Toccata hard fork marks Kaspa's shift from a payments chain to a programmable Layer 1, introducing native KRC-20 token issuance, covenant programming via the SilverScript compiler, and zero-knowledge verification opcodes. The upgrade is seen as bullish for $KAS because it enables decentralized finance, NFTs, and complex applications to settle directly on Kaspa's secure base layer, potentially driving developer adoption and new utility.

Whether 2.35 billion transactions and an imminent programmability upgrade justify, or undervalue, a $770 million market cap is a question the market is still working through. The on-chain fundamentals are difficult to dismiss. The price action, for now, tells a more cautious story.

Top Crypto Gainers: Aster, Decred, and Kaspa rise as selling pressure wanes
ASTER Aster BTC Bitcoin DCR Decred KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Altcoins such as Aster (ASTER), Decred (DCR), and Kaspa (KAS) are leading the broader cryptocurrency market recovery over the last 24 hours, as Bitcoin (BTC) holds above $70,000 on Monday, up from the $60,000 dip on Thursday. Technically, the recovery in ASTER, DCR, and KAS lacks momentum and is driven by the short-term easing of selling pressure. If Bitcoin extends the decline, altcoins would likely face similar or more intense selling pressure.

Aster breakout rally struggles to pick up momentumAster rose 11% on Sunday, closing above a long-term resistance trendline connecting the October 7 and November 19 highs. At the time of writing, ASTER is holding above $0.600 on Monday, below the declining 50-day Exponential Moving Average at $0.683, keeping the near-term bias capped. 

The technical indicators on the daily chart suggest an increased likelihood of renewed bullish momentum in ASTER, corroborating the breakout rally thesis. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) crosses above the signal line on Saturday, starting a positive wave of successively rising MACD histograms. At the same time, the Relative Strength Index is at 50, hovering around its midline, signaling a neutral shift as selling pressure wanes. 

The 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.683, followed by the R1 Pivot Point at $0.740, could serve as overhead resistance. 

ASTER/USDT daily logarithmic chart.On the flip side, the crucial support remains the $0.500 psychological mark, followed by a deeper zone at the S1 Pivot Point at $0.434.

Decred extends its rally as buying pressure resurfacesDecred is up 4% at press time on Monday, extending the roughly 30% gains from last week. The privacy coin is holding above the 50- and 200-day EMAs, with the shorter above the longer average, reinforcing a bullish bias. 

The MACD remains above the signal line following Thursday's bullish crossover, indicating rising bullish momentum.

The RSI at 70.71 enters the overbought zone, indicating strengthening buying pressure. 

The DCR rally approaches the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level, drawn from the November 4 high of $70 to the December 23 low of $14.21, at $26.12. If DCR clears this level, it could target the 50% retracement at $31.53.

DCR/USDT daily price chart.However, failure to clear that barrier would cap gains and encourage a pullback toward the 23.60% Fibonacci retracement at $20.70.

Kaspa approaches key resistance zoneKaspa steadies above $0.03300 at press time on Monday, significantly lower than the declining 50- and 200-day EMAs, preserving a bearish bias. The rebound from Thursday’s low at $0.02518, coinciding with Bitcoin’s dip to $60,000, reflects an ease in selling pressure.

The MACD histogram has shifted slightly positive after a steady contraction, indicating that the MACD line has crossed above the signal line. Both lines sit near or slightly below zero, so momentum repair remains tentative. Meanwhile, the RSI at 42, below the midline, points to a weak upside impulse.

The overhead supply zone, ranging from the $0.03607 to $0.03865, could cap the recovery. A potential breakout could target the R1 Pivot Point at $0.04751.

KAS/USDT daily logarithmic chart.However, a downside reversal could find support at the S1 Pivot Point at $0.02439.

This week in the crypto market, Bitcoin’s price surpassed $68,000, and the market capitalization returned to over $2.28 trillion.

BeInCrypto noted special investor interest in events such as Grayscale’s review of 35 altcoins for potential investment products and investors’ expectations of an altcoin season ahead of the US elections.

Additionally, Miles Deutscher has suggested several altcoins, claiming they might have a strong growth potential. The community is also paying attention to Craig Wright’s legal plans and Tesla’s Bitcoin movements.

Grayscale Unveils 35 Potential AltcoinsEarlier this week, Grayscale announced a list of 35 altcoins under consideration for future investment products. Following the announcement, many of these altcoins experienced significant price increases over the week. The top 10 altcoins on the list saw gains ranging from 13% to 49%.

“Assets Under Consideration lists digital assets not currently included in a Grayscale investment product but identified by our team as possible candidates for inclusion in a future product,” Grayscale explained.

Additionally, Grayscale filed with the SEC to convert its Digital Large Cap Fund into an ETF, following the success of transforming Bitcoin Trust and Ethereum Trust into spot ETFs.

Miles Deutscher Highlights 4 Altcoins Investor Miles Deutscher introduced four altcoins that he believes could deliver 10x returns. These altcoins focus on GameFi, artificial intelligence (AI), Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN), and real-world assets (RWA) sectors, including:

Price Performance of Altcoins Suggested by Deutscher. Source: TradingViewSince his announcement, the prices of these altcoins have slightly declined, which occurred as Bitcoin Dominance reached a three-year high. Deutscher also commented on meme coins, suggesting they are at a crossroads and may face a short-term correction.

Craig Wright Plans to Sue Bitcoin CoreOn October 11, a tracker from the UK High Court revealed that Craig Wright is taking legal action against Bitcoin Core and Square.

Wright, representing himself in the case as a “direct claimant,” is seeking £911 billion ( ~$1.18 trillion) from Bitcoin Core and Square, alleging they misrepresented Bitcoin (BTC) as the true version of the digital asset created by Satoshi Nakamoto.

Additionally, Wright threatened to sue MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor for allegedly misrepresenting Bitcoin. The Australian computer scientist is also filing three other legal appeals in the UK, two against the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) and one targeting Peter McCormack.

Altcoin Season Ahead of US Presidential Election?Throughout the week, several crypto industry experts expressed optimism for altcoin’s price ahead of the US presidential election. Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, suggested that a Trump victory could spur regulatory changes that would trigger an altcoin season.

“If Trump wins, expect regulatory changes, including fee switches enabling token burns for revenue-generating projects,” Ki Young Ju said.

Technical analysts Michaël van de Poppe and CRG also predicted that the altcoin season could begin next month. Echoing these views, Crypto Rover forecasted an impending altcoin season by monitoring Bitcoin Dominance’s movements. Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) represents Bitcoin’s share of total market capitalization. Its adjustments often signal an altcoin rally.

Initially, investors feared Tesla might be preparing to sell the BTC through OTC, but those concerns quickly dissipated as Bitcoin’s price remained unaffected.

“No proof it’s an OTC deal yet. Even if it was, that means someone else bought it so it’s not entirely bearish. Who knows,” Sir Doge of the Coin said.

Kaspa Hits New Milestone With Over 600 Million Total Transactions Recorded on the Blockchain
KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Decentralized Layer-1 blockchain, Kaspa, recently hit the 600M milestone in total transactions. The feat represents a key development for the protocol, given that its first transaction occurred over 5 years ago, on November 7, 2021. 

As of February 20, 2026, data from Kaspa’s official explorer shows:

Total transactions: Over 601 millionTotal blocks: 361,742,049Circulating supply: 27,219,524,810 KAS (94.84% of total supply mined)Average block time: 0.1 secondsWallet addresses: 540,468Current block reward: 3.270 KAS, with a scheduled reduction on March 6, 2026How Did Kaspa Reach 600 Million Transactions?Kaspa’s mainnet has been live for approximately 1,566 days as of February 2026. Over that period, the network has averaged about 386,700 transactions per day. On February 7, 2026, the network recorded more than 597 million transactions. By February 14, explorers and community sources confirmed the total had exceeded 600 million. As of February 18, the count passed 601 million, with recent hourly data showing about 17,000 transactions processed.

Several high-volume events in 2025 provide context:

September 29, 2025: Approximately 60 million transactions in a single day, with around 250,000 active addresses and about 680 transactions per second (TPS).October 5, 2025: More than 158 million transactions in one day.October 6, 2025: Around 151 million transactions handled on Layer-1 without reported downtime.These peaks demonstrate the network’s ability to process sustained high volumes directly on its base layer.

What Technical Features Enable Kaspa’s High Throughput?Kaspa’s BlockDAG architecture allows multiple blocks to be created and confirmed in parallel. The network currently operates at 10 blocks per second following the Crescendo hardfork. Average block time is approximately 0.1 seconds.

In contrast, Bitcoin typically processes 3 to 7 TPS due to its sequential block model, with confirmations measured in minutes. Testnet 11 has reportedly sustained 2,400-3,000 TPS without interruption, with storage requirements under 200 GB and no reported compromise in consensus security. In additional tests, throughput reached about 4,000 TPS.

For comparison, centralized payment networks such as Visa and Alipay are often cited as benchmarks for high transaction capacity. Some Kaspa stress tests recorded per-second volumes that approached or exceeded these levels under controlled conditions.

Kaspa’s design follows Nakamoto consensus principles but generalizes them through BlockDAG to support parallel processing. The network has no central governance authority.

Most importantly, institutional mining participation has increased. Marathon Digital reported mining approximately $16 million worth of KAS by mid-2024, reflecting diversification beyond Bitcoin mining.

What Developments Are Planned for 2026?A Covenant-centric hardfork is scheduled for May 2026. This upgrade is expected to enable native assets and lay the groundwork for smart contract functionality.

Planned ecosystem components include:

SilverScript is intended to support decentralized finance (DeFi) applicationsKRC-20 token standardsAdditional developer tools and infrastructureKaspa’s on-chain activity is notable, though it is not prominently listed in total value locked (TVL) rankings tracked by platforms such as DeFiLlama, which primarily covers EVM-compatible chains. For context, Ethereum has about $54.3 billion in TVL, while Solana recently reported weekly TVL growth of 6.83%.

The 600 million transaction milestone provides a measurable indicator of network usage as Kaspa expands its feature set.

ConclusionKaspa’s 600 million total transactions reflect sustained activity on a PoW Layer-1 blockchain using BlockDAG architecture. The network has demonstrated the ability to process high daily volumes, maintain sub-second block times, and support parallel block production without reported downtime during peak events.

With 94.84% of its supply mined, a scheduled block reward reduction, and a planned hardfork to introduce native assets, the network is entering a new technical phase. The milestone confirms measurable throughput and adoption since its 2021 launch, while upcoming protocol changes will test its capacity to support broader use cases.

DeepSnitch AI Price Prediction 2026 Screams Bullish Ahead of March 31 Launch as Kaspa and Plume Coin Also Heat Up, Spot Bitcoin ETFs See Second Week of Consecutive Inflow
BTC Bitcoin KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
According to data from SoSoValue, US spot Bitcoin ETFs have logged their second straight week of net inflows, the first such streak in five months. The funds drew about $568 million this week after $787 million in inflows the previous week. In other news, AI narrative is dominating the 2026 market.

One project that is leading the race is DeepSnitch AI (DSNT). The project has just crossed $2M in funding, and its live AI agents are gaining wide attention in the market ahead of the March 31 presale deadline. This influx of capital highlights a massive shift toward functional tools, with the DSNT token already delivering a 191% price increase for early backers ahead of its public debut.

Given its current momentum, many investors have been asking: What is the DeepSnitch AI price prediction for 2026? Keep reading to find out why many top traders have pegged their DeepSnitch AI price prediction at 100X-300X.

What is the price prediction for DeepSnitch AI crypto in 2030?2. What is the DeepSnitch AI price prediction for 2026?3. Does DeepSnitch AI have a future? US spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded their second consecutive week of net inflows, marking the first such streak in five months. According to data from SoSoValue, the funds attracted about $568.45 million this week after posting $787.31 million in inflows the previous week.

The turnaround signals renewed investor interest following a prolonged withdrawal period. Prior to the rebound, spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced roughly $3.8 billion in cumulative outflows over five weeks, with the largest weekly loss of $1.49 billion recorded in late January. The recent inflows suggest sentiment toward Bitcoin investment products may be stabilizing.

DeepSnitch AI price prediction 2026: Is this your last chance to buy at this low price? 1. DeepSnitch AI (DSNT): An AI-powered crypto with 100X potential If you have been searching the crypto market lately for a project with real infrastructure and utility that can sustain long-term, high upside growth, DeepSnitch AI might just be the answer. Unlike other projects that depend on hype, the DeepSnitch AI outlook is bullish because it has a clear utility.

The project seeks to transform the crypto scene using artificial intelligence. It has five AI agents that can evaluate market trends and provide clear insights to help you decide whether to buy or sell.

One of the agents is AuditSnitch. The AuditSnitch excels at identifying rug-pull signatures and detecting sophisticated smart contract exploits before they trigger.

Another tool is SnitchScan. It serves as the “gem hunter.” The agent serves as an automated screening tool that analyzes on-chain metrics to highlight high-potential projects. These AI agents, together, form the intelligence layer of DeepSnitch AI and are presented in a single user interface for easy access.

To access these AI agents and enjoy limitless staking APY, you need the DSNT coin in the ecosystem. It is currently in the sixth phase of its presale and is priced at $0.04399, representing a 191% gain for those who bought early.

Given its utility and huge demand, the DeepSnitch AI price prediction for 2026 is very bullish. Those who get into the presale before March 31 could be among those who will record 100X-300X returns on their investment.

2. Kaspa: Can bulls defend the key support level? The Kaspa coin has dropped from its weekly high of $0.0324 amid market volatility. As of March 9, the Kaspa price was $0.0298. Bulls are currently testing the $0.0290 support level for a potential breakdown.

On the flip side, if the Kaspa price remains above support, it could retest its current weekly high in the coming days. Presently, technical indicators, such as the Fear and Greed Index, signal low investor interest.

The metric has dipped into the Extreme Fear region. Still, CoinCodex predicts that the Kaspa coin price might surge to $0.0928 in the coming months.

3. Plume price pumps 57% from all-time low One of the best-performing coins in March is Plume, the native token of an EVM-compatible L1 blockchain to tokenize real-world assets. On February 28, the Plume price fell to a record low of $0.008549, after a significant sell-off in the crypto market.

As of March 9, the Plume coin was trading at $0.013, a 57% increase from its all-time low. The Plume crypto is one of the few coins that has shown resilience amid the ongoing market volatility. Globe of Crypto forecasts that the Plume price might pump to $0.022 soon.

Final verdict To conclude, the DeepSnitch AI price prediction for this year is a bullish one, thanks to its AI  utility, which may drive its usage and price increase. In addition, the project has attracted over $2M in capital and provided initial investors with a profit of more than 191%.

To the ones who have not joined the train yet, DeepSnitch AI presale will conclude on March 31, and exchange listings will follow shortly on Uniswap and other tier-1 platforms. This might be your last opportunity to get in at a very low price of $0.04399.

Visit the official website for more information, and join X and Telegram for community updates.

FAQs 1. What is the price prediction for DeepSnitch AI crypto in 2030? The DeepSnitch AI outlook looks very optimistic in 2030. The utility-based project will be priced at an expected price of $10 by 30, and will take advantage of massive adoption by traders and investors.

2. What is the DeepSnitch AI price prediction for 2026? The DeepSnitch AI price target for 2026 is $1-$5, given the current presale demand and potential tier-1 exchange listings. There is also a massive boom in the AI sector, which has accelerated the need for AI solutions like DeepSnitch AI’s advanced AI agents. Such potential growth makes the DeepSnitch AI presale a good investment opportunity.

3. Does DeepSnitch AI have a future? As an AI-based crypto with a strong early-stage advantage and AI utility, DeepSnitch AI is expected to see huge adoption and price growth in the future. Several bullish DeepSnitch AI forecast discussions have flooded the market since its launch. Those who get the DSNT coin at the current price of $0.04399 could see returns of 100X-300X after the presale ends on March 31.

Kaspa: Can KAS target $0.055 after breaking KEY price hurdle?
KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Kaspa [KAS] is garnering widespread attention from crypto enthusiasts due to its impressive performance. The asset has not only gained amid the broader market recovery but has also broken a key hurdle. This signals that a massive upside rally may be on the horizon.

According to CoinMarketCap data, KAS has climbed over 11.50% in the past 24 hours and was trading at $0.03609 at press time. Additionally, market participation has seen a significant increase. This was reflected in trading volume, which surged by more than 130% to $36.88 million.

Rising trading volume shows heightened participation from traders and investors during the price recovery and suggests that market participants are increasingly interested in the current trend.

Kaspa price action and technical analysis AMBCrypto’s daily chart analysis shows KAS turning bullish and primed for a major rally. With the recent upside move, the asset has broken out of a key resistance level of $0.035. A level that it had been facing since the 1st of February 2026.

Source: TradingView If KAS closes a daily candle above this key level, it could see a price jump of 51% and may reach the $0.055 level. However, $0.040 appears to be a key resistance level that could act as a hurdle for the asset in its upcoming rally.

Despite the bullish breakout, the technical indicator Relative Strength Index (RSI) has reached 72.02 at the time of writing. This indicates that the asset is in overbought territory, suggesting that the asset might see a potential correction before the next leg up.

Meanwhile, the Average Directional Index (ADX), which measures trend strength, stood at 19.77, below the key threshold of 25, indicating weak directional momentum in the asset.

KAS sees mixed sentiment among market participants In addition to the price action, CoinGlass reveals that both investors and traders have mixed sentiment, as short-term participants are following the trend while long-term holders appear to be booking profits.

 Data shows that $0.0319 on the lower side (support) and $0.0358 on the upper side (resistance) are two major levels where traders are overleveraged. In fact, traders at these levels have built $1.02 million in long leveraged positions and $177.6K in short leveraged positions.

However, these positions could be liquidated if the KAS price moves in either direction. Based on this data, it appears that bulls are dominating the asset, while sellers’ interest seems to be fading.

Source: CoinGlass Meanwhile, data on KAS spot inflows/outflows shows that over the past 48 hours, a massive $1.22 million worth of the asset has flowed into exchanges. The movement of assets from wallets to exchanges typically indicates that long-term holders may be preparing for a sell-off. This sign is considered a bearish sign for the asset.

Source: CoinGlass Final Summary With an 11.50% price jump, Kaspa has broken out of a key resistance level.  Derivatives data indicate that short-term participants are following the trend, while long-term holders appear to be showing fading interest.

KAS Crypto Price Rockets: Can Kaspa Extend this Rally?
KAS Kaspa RLY Rally
CoinGecko News
Original source text
While the broader market’s attention has been fixed on Bitcoin’s volatility and Ethereum’s recovery attempts, Kaspa (KAS) has been quietly doing something remarkable. The asset has surged to $0.04050, up 3.5% over the last 24 hours amid a flurry of trading activity.

This move follows a prolonged period of consolidation, or “cooling off,” where the price moved sideways for weeks. Now, sticking its head above the parapet, Kaspa has reached its highest level in 51 days. Recent data indicates a 30% surge over the last week, suggesting that bull traders betting on a price increase are regaining control.

However, indicators on the 4-hour chart are flashing warning signs of exhaustion, hinting that the rally might need to catch its breath before aiming for new highs. While technical patterns like the “Cup & Handle” suggest long-term growth, the immediate future hinges on holding key support levels.

(SOURCE: TradingView)

Can Kaspa Sustain Momentum to Break $0.05? The current price action for Kaspa is defined by a battle at the $0.040 psychological barrier. Currently trading at $0.04050, KAS is testing the upper limits of a steep ascending channel. In technical analysis, consistent “higher highs” usually confirm a bullish trend, but the speed of this ascent raises questions about sustainability.

If the momentum continues, analysts suggest a potential breakout toward the $0.055 region, which would represent a roughly +51% rally from current support zones.

However, if sellers step in to take profits, the price could revisit the primary support level (S1) at $0.03782. Falling below this floor could see KAS test deeper liquidity at $0.03564.

THIS IS WHAT A REAL BREAKOUT LOOKS LIKE$KAS spent months bleeding.

Lower highs. No strength. Dead chart.

Then it stopped.

Tight accumulation at the lows.

And now?

Price is reclaiming levels one by one.

That’s how expansion starts.

Not with a pump… but with a shift.

If… pic.twitter.com/pVGLb5Gdgd

— VERTIX (@0xVertix) March 18, 2026

Volume data supports the bullish case for now, with $51.1M in daily volume validating the price increase. Yet, identifying the exact top of a short-term pump is notoriously difficult. 

For those holding KAS, the outlook appears positive, provided the $0.037 support holds. But for new capital entering the market, the risk-to-reward ratio on a coin that has already pumped +30% in a week requires careful consideration. Is the easy money already made?

Maxi Doge Targets Early Mover Upside as Kaspa Tests Key Levels

(SOURCE: Maxi Doge)

While Kaspa focuses on technical scalability and gradual gains, a different segment of the crypto market is chasing high-leverage volatility in the meme coin sector. Rotations are common in crypto cycles: profits often flow from established mid-cap coins into speculative early-stage projects. One such project currently capturing attention is Maxi Doge ($MAXI).

Maxi Doge is branding itself as the “personal trainer” of the meme coin world. Moving away from the passive “hold and hope” strategy of traditional dog coins, $MAXI introduces a culture of 1000x leverage and high-stakes competition.

It features holder-only trading competitions and a “Maxi Fund” treasury designed to support liquidity and partnerships. The project’s tagline, “Never skip leg-day, never skip a pump”, appeals directly to the aggressive “gym-bro” trading demographic.

The numbers reflect growing interest in this niche. The MAXI presale has already raised exactly $4.6M, with tokens currently priced at $0.0002809. Early participants are also taking advantage of the project’s dynamic staking APY, which rewards users for locking their tokens before the public listing.

Investing in presales carries distinct risks compared to established assets like Kaspa; liquidity is lower, and volatility is significantly higher. However, for traders monitoring new market entrants, the lower entry price of MAXI offers a different strategic play than buying a coin already near local highs.

As the “meme supercycle” narrative continues to evolve alongside technical breakouts in the broader altcoin market, these hybrid utility-meme tokens are carving out their own lane.

CHAINWIRE: Igra Network Launches Public Mainnet as Decentralized EVM Layer on Kaspa's Proof-of-Work BlockDAG
KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Zug, Switzerland, March 19th, 2026, Chainwire

Following six months of testing with zero state divergence, Igra Network opens public access to a 3,000+ TPS smart contract environment secured by proof-of-work consensus. Fifteen protocols are deploying at launch alongside cross-chain connectivity through Hyperlane. A security audit by Sigma Prime completed with no unresolved issues.

Igra Labs has opened public access to Igra Network, a decentralized EVM-compatible execution layer built on Kaspa’s proof-of-work BlockDAG. The mainnet launch follows a testnet that processed over 730,000 transactions across 21 million blocks with zero state divergence.

Kaspa is a proof-of-work blockchain with a market capitalization nearing $1 billion and more than 500,000 active addresses. The ecosystem generated $486 million in trading volume on the day KRC-20 token protocol functionality launched, demonstrating significant latent demand for on-chain activity. Despite that demand, the ecosystem has operated with less than $1 million in DeFi total value locked due to the absence of a decentralized and programmable smart contract layer. Igra Network is built to close that gap. By inheriting Kaspa’s proof-of-work security while delivering full Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility, the network gives the ecosystem’s existing user base and a global developer community of over 100,000 Solidity engineers a shared execution environment for the first time.

Igra operates as a based rollup, a design in which transaction ordering is delegated entirely to the base layer rather than handled by a centralized sequencer. Kaspa miners sequence Igra transactions without the ability to read their contents, a structural property that provides resistance to MEV extraction, front-running, and transaction censorship at the protocol level rather than as an application-layer patch.

The network delivers over 3,000 transactions per second with sub-second inclusion latency, powered by Kaspa’s 10-block-per-second BlockDAG architecture and parallel transaction sequencing. Unlike linear blockchains where transactions queue in a single ordering chain, the BlockDAG processes multiple blocks simultaneously, providing the throughput required for DeFi workloads at scale. A security audit by Sigma Prime, the firm behind Ethereum’s Lighthouse consensus client, completed clean with no unresolved issues.

Fifteen protocols have committed to deploy at launch spanning DeFi, infrastructure, wallets, and stablecoins. Launch partners include Kaskad (Aave V3-style lending and borrowing), ZealousSwap (Uniswap v2 decentralized exchange), Zealous Auctions Protocol (Continuous Clearing Auctions token launch), Hyperlane (cross-chain messaging and USDC.e bridging), Kasperia and Kasware (wallets), KAT Bridge (KRC-20 Token and KRC-721 NFT bridging), Dagscan (block explorer), and Kaspa.com (DEX and launchpad). Ecosystem partners collectively manage over $5 million in total value locked across the Kaspa ecosystem. Kaspa’s native token wraps 1:1 to iKAS on Igra through a trust-minimized bridge backed by locked KAS on L1, serving as the network’s gas token.

Igra Labs plans to introduce a second-generation execution engine incorporating Block-STM parallel processing in the second half of 2026, alongside agent-native infrastructure for machine-to-machine payment, identity, and orchestration, positioning the network for the emerging autonomous agent economy.

“There is over a billion dollars in ecosystem value on Kaspa and $486 million in volume on a single day when KRC-20 launched, yet almost no sufficiently decentralized programmable infrastructure exists to capture it,” said Pavel Emdin, CEO of Igra Labs. “That gap is now closed. Igra delivers full EVM programmability without compromising on the security properties that brought people to proof-of-work.”

“Fifteen teams committed before mainnet went live. Hyperlane gives us cross-chain connectivity and stablecoin access from day one, and Kaskad brings institutional-grade lending to proof-of-work for the first time,” said Ashton Wood, Head of Ecosystem and Business Development at Igra Labs. “The infrastructure is live and the ecosystem is ready.”

The Igra Labs core team includes former DAGLabs engineers who contributed to shipping Kaspa’s original mainnet, alongside Panther Protocol alumni and EVM client contributors. The project is governed by a Swiss association, with a functioning DAO governance structure following a successful token generation event.

A public token auction for the IGRA governance and security token is scheduled for late March 2026 through ZAP (Zealous Auctions Protocol), an on-chain continuous clearing auction on Igra Network (https://igralabs.com/public-auction/overview). The same mechanism powered Aztec’s $59 million sale—on-chain price discovery, no lockup or vesting, tokens fully liquid on claim. Participation is open to anyone with iKAS on the network ($0.006 floor; three-point-five percent of supply). Details at igralabs.com. Secondary on-chain trading through ZealousSwap DEX.

Launch partners include Kaskad (Aave V3-style lending and borrowing), ZealousSwap (Uniswap v2 decentralized exchange), Zealous Auctions Protocol (Continuous Clearing Auctions token launch), Hyperlane (cross-chain messaging and USDC.e bridging), Kasperia and Kasware (wallets), KAT Bridge (KRC-20 Token and KRC-721 NFT bridging), Dagscan (block explorer), and Kaspa.com (DEX and launchpad). Ecosystem partners collectively manage over $5 million in total value locked across the Kaspa ecosystem. Kaspa’s native token wraps 1:1 to iKAS on Igra through a trust-minimized bridge backed by locked KAS on L1, serving as the network’s gas token.

Igra Labs plans to introduce a second-generation execution engine incorporating Block-STM parallel processing in the second half of 2026, alongside agent-native infrastructure for machine-to-machine payment, identity, and orchestration, positioning the network for the emerging autonomous agent economy.

“There is over a billion dollars in ecosystem value on Kaspa and $486 million in volume on a single day when KRC-20 launched, yet almost no sufficiently decentralized programmable infrastructure exists to capture it,” said Pavel Emdin, CEO of Igra Labs. “That gap is now closed. Igra delivers full EVM programmability without compromising on the security properties that brought people to proof-of-work.”

“Fifteen teams committed before mainnet went live. Hyperlane gives us cross-chain connectivity and stablecoin access from day one, and Kaskad brings institutional-grade lending to proof-of-work for the first time,” said Ashton Wood, Head of Ecosystem and Business Development at Igra Labs. “The infrastructure is live and the ecosystem is ready.”

The Igra Labs core team includes former DAGLabs engineers who contributed to shipping Kaspa’s original mainnet, alongside Panther Protocol alumni and EVM client contributors. The project is governed by a Swiss association, with a functioning DAO governance structure following a successful token generation event.

A public token auction for the IGRA governance and security token is scheduled for late March 2026 through ZAP (Zealous Auctions Protocol), an on-chain continuous clearing auction on Igra Network (https://igralabs.com/public-auction/overview). The same mechanism powered Aztec’s $59 million sale—on-chain price discovery, no lockup or vesting, tokens fully liquid on claim. Participation is open to anyone with iKAS on the network ($0.006 floor; three-point-five percent of supply). Details at igralabs.com. Secondary on-chain trading through ZealousSwap DEX.

Kaspa price eyes over 50% rebound after confirming falling wedge pattern
KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Kaspa price shot up to a seven-week high of $0.041 on Thursday before settling at $0.037 at press time. It has now confirmed a breakout from a multi-year falling wedge pattern, which could spur more gains ahead.

Summary

Kaspa surged to a seven-week high near $0.041 and confirmed a breakout from a multi-year falling wedge, signaling potential for further upside. Technical indicators, including Supertrend and Aroon, point to a strengthening bullish trend, with resistance at $0.038 and a potential move toward $0.056. Exchange outflows of $1.8 million suggest rising investor accumulation and reduced sell-side liquidity, supporting the bullish outlook. According to data from crypto.news, Kaspa (KAS) rallied to a seven-week high of $0.037 on March 19. Trading at $0.037 at press time, the token is up nearly 42% from its year-to-date low.

Technicals suggest that the token could still jump at least another 50% before hitting exhaustion.

On the daily chart, Kaspa price has broken out of a multi-year falling wedge pattern formed of two descending and converging trendlines. Typically, when an asset breaks out from the upper side of the pattern, it sees strong upside over the following days.

Kaspa price In Kaspa’s case, the upside scenario is further reinforced by bullish signals from technical indicators. The Supertrend, a tool used to measure market trend direction and volatility, flashed a green signal as the price moved above the key overhead trendline. 

Additionally, the Aroon indicator shows the Aroon Up at 92.86% while the Aroon Down was at 14.29%, suggesting that a powerful new uptrend is currently in control.

For now, the immediate resistance for Kaspa lies at $0.038, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level drawn from the May 12 high of $0.13 last year to the Oct. 10 low of $0.0090.

A decisive breakout from here with strong volume can push its price to $0.056, which aligns with the next Fibonacci retracement level and lies nearly 51% above the current price.

Investors are withdrawing Kaspa from exchanges The bullish outlook for Kaspa could gain further support from rising exchange outflows, as investors have begun moving their holdings off exchanges. Per data from CoinGlass, nearly $1.8 million worth of Kaspa has left exchanges recently.

Such a sudden spike in outflows means that investors are likely withdrawing Kaspa to self-custody wallets, potentially due to expectations of significant future price appreciation. This often leads other market participants to follow suit and further reduces the available sell-side liquidity.

Kaspa's Toccata Hard Fork: Covenants, ZK Opcodes, And A New June Target
KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Kaspa's upcoming Toccata hard fork will add two new programmability paths to the network: native L1 covenant programming and based zero-knowledge (zk) application infrastructure, with mainnet activation now scheduled for June 5–20, 2026, pushed back from the original May 5 target.

Michael Sutton of Kaspa Core published a detailed update on what the hard fork includes, why the date moved, and how the next few months are expected to unfold. The fork was originally initiated by Ori Newman as an effort to bring covenants into Kaspa's script engine, partly in response to the OP_CAT discussion in Bitcoin circles. It has since grown into something considerably larger.

What Is The Toccata Hard Fork?Toccata is a scheduled hard fork for the Kaspa network that introduces new capabilities directly into the base layer. A hard fork, for those less familiar, is a protocol upgrade that is not backward-compatible. All nodes must upgrade to continue participating in the network.

The name follows Kaspa's tradition of using musical references for major upgrades. This one takes its name from a classical musical form, the toccata, a piece designed to showcase technical skill across a keyboard instrument.

At a high level, Toccata adds two things to Kaspa:

Native L1 covenant programming via a new compiler called SilverscriptBased zk application infrastructure, built on top of those same covenant foundationsThese are not interchangeable systems. They serve different use cases and target different developer audiences.

What Are Covenants And Why Do They Matter For Kaspa?Covenants are conditions placed on how funds in a transaction output can be spent in the future. In a standard Bitcoin or Kaspa transaction, once coins are sent, the recipient can do whatever they like with them. Covenants change that by embedding spending rules directly into the script.

Kaspa uses a UTXO model, similar to Bitcoin, where each transaction consumes existing outputs and creates new ones. Covenants in a UTXO system allow developers to build surprisingly complex stateful multi-contract flows, even though the underlying computation remains local to each UTXO.

To make covenant development more accessible, Kaspa Core is finalizing Silverscript, a compiler initiated by Ori Newman, Michael Sutton, IzioDev, and Manyfest. Silverscript is designed to make it easier and safer to write and deploy complex covenants directly on Kaspa L1, without developers needing to work at the raw script-engine level.

What Are Based ZK Applications?The second programmability pillar introduced in Toccata is based zk applications. This is the more technically dense of the two and worth unpacking carefully.

ZK stands for zero-knowledge, a cryptographic method that lets one party prove something is true without revealing the underlying data. ZK proofs are increasingly used in blockchain scaling because they allow off-chain computation to be verified on-chain cheaply and securely.

"Based" in this context means the zk system fully follows L1 sequencing. A based zk application cannot add or drop transactions independently. It is anchored to Kaspa's own transaction order, which is what makes it trustworthy without a separate sequencer.

Toccata introduces several components to support this:

ZK verification opcodes, including a flexible Groth16 verifier and a RISC Zero STARK verifierA sequencing commitment access opcode, enabling based applications to anchor themselves to L1 orderingKIP-21, a partitioned sequencing commitment architecture that ensures a zk app's proving costs scale with its own activity, not with overall DAG activityThe RISC Zero STARK verifier is already implemented and activated on testnet 12. Whether it activates on mainnet is still being decided.

Why Proving Costs MatterFor any zk application to be practical, the cost of generating proofs needs to stay proportional to what the application itself does. If a zk app had to prove work relative to all activity on the broader DAG, costs would become unpredictable and unmanageable. KIP-21 solves this by partitioning sequencing commitments, keeping each app's workload self-contained.

What Is Already In Place?A significant portion of the hard fork is already implemented. The following features are already built:

Extended script-engine opcode support, the core covenants backbone, under KIP-17Covenant IDs for lineage management as a consensus and engine feature, under KIP-20ZK opcodes with a zk-verifier precompile subsystem, under KIP-16, authored by Alexander SafstromSequencing commitment access opcodeKIP-21, authored by Sutton and implemented by Maxim Biryukov, fully implemented and pending reviewProof-of-concept milestones, including inline zk covenants and based zk covenants with a KAS canonical bridge, have also been completed by Maxim and were instrumental in shaping the final design of the fork.

Why Did The Hard Fork Date Move To June?The original mainnet target was May 5, 2026. It has since moved to a window of June 5–20, 2026.

The reason is architectural. Once zk circuits and runtimes bind to a sequencing commitment hashing structure, any structural changes after the fact become breaking changes. Getting the design wrong and patching it later would be far more disruptive than taking the extra time now.

KIP-21 is already designed to be future-compatible with the commitment scheme that will eventually be required by vprogs, Kaspa's longer-term roadmap for synchronously composable verifiable programs. Locking in the right structure before mainnet activation avoids costly migrations later.

The feature freeze is expected on April 15, 2026.

What Happens Between Feature Freeze And Mainnet?After the April 15 feature freeze, Kaspa Core plans a clean restart of the dedicated testnet, TN12, with the full final feature set included. This is not a simulation of the hard fork transition. It is a clean network for testing the complete feature set in its final form.

From there, the team will merge the accumulated months of work from a long-lived pending branch back into the master codebase. That process involves final auditing, closing open items, perfecting hard-fork activation logic, and handling database upgradability.

Once that work is complete, a test hard fork will run over TN10, the long-term testnet, to simulate a full mainnet-style transition. The mainnet date will only be hardcoded after that rehearsal runs to the team's satisfaction.

What Node Operators Should ExpectFor miners and node operators, the upgrade is designed to be straightforward. Nodes need to be updated, and existing functionality should continue working. Disk space requirements are expected to increase by roughly 20 to 50 percent. No dramatic infrastructure changes are anticipated.

What Toccata Actually Delivers For KaspaToccata adds two working programmability systems to Kaspa's base layer: native L1 covenant scripting through Silverscript, and based zk application infrastructure through KIP-16, KIP-20, and KIP-21. A large portion of the technical work is already done. What remains is finalizing interfaces, merging the pending branch into master, and running a full rehearsal on TN10 before the mainnet date is confirmed.

The June 5–20, 2026 window exists because the team chose to get the sequencing commitment architecture right the first time rather than fix it later under live conditions. For node operators, the upgrade is designed to be straightforward, with no major infrastructure changes beyond a modest increase in disk space.

Kaspa Price Near Key Support as Compression Signals Imminent Breakout Move
KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
TLDR: Kaspa trades near critical support as price compression signals a potential high volatility breakout soon Descending resistance continues to cap price while buyers defend the $0.033 support zone repeatedly A move above $0.05 could shift momentum and open upside toward $0.07 and higher resistance levels Failure to hold support may trigger a sharp drop toward the next demand zone near $0.025 levels Kaspa’s daily price structure is approaching a critical moment as the price compresses near long-standing support. Market participants are closely watching whether the asset can reclaim higher levels or extend its broader downtrend after months of sustained selling pressure.

Kaspa Price Structure Signals Tight Compression A recent tweet from market analyst JACKIS draws attention to Kaspa’s evolving chart structure across multiple phases.

The asset previously experienced a sharp rally, climbing from near $0.005 to above $0.20. That move formed a classic expansion phase, supported by higher highs and strong momentum.

Kaspa looks absolutely astonishing at these levels

If the market finishes the job and pushes through its March highs, I think we get a pretty solid Q2 rally pic.twitter.com/HUsa4S26ch

— JACKIS (@i_am_jackis) April 10, 2026

However, price action later transitioned into a choppy range between $0.12 and $0.20. This phase showed repeated rejection near highs, suggesting weakening momentum. As a result, distribution likely took place before the market shifted direction.

Selling pressure then took control, forming a prolonged downtrend with consistent lower highs. The chart now shows a descending resistance trendline stretching from near $0.18 toward current levels around $0.04. At the same time, support has held near the $0.033 to $0.035 zone.

This structure resembles a descending triangle combined with a falling wedge. Such formations often appear during late-stage trends where price compresses tightly. As volatility decreases, the likelihood of a sharp move increases.

The analyst notes that Kaspa is now sitting directly on key structural support. Price has tested this level multiple times without a decisive breakdown. Even so, buyers have yet to produce a strong reversal move.

Breakout Conditions Define Near-Term Direction The current setup places Kaspa at a decision point where both bullish and bearish scenarios remain possible. A move above the descending trendline near $0.045 to $0.05 would shift short-term momentum. That step could open the path toward reclaiming the $0.06 to $0.07 range.

If that level is recovered, price may continue toward $0.07 to $0.08 as the first resistance zone. Further strength could bring the $0.10 to $0.12 area back into focus. This region previously acted as support before turning into resistance.

On the other hand, failure to hold the $0.033 support level could trigger a sharp decline. The chart shows limited structure below this range, which may lead to faster price movement downward. The next demand zone is projected near $0.025 to $0.028.

The tweet also points to the absence of strong bullish momentum so far. While support has held, there has been no impulsive bounce to confirm accumulation. This keeps downside risk active as price remains compressed near the lower boundary.

At the same time, repeated tests of support suggest buyers are still present. Compression near key levels often leads to sudden expansion. The direction of that move depends on whether resistance breaks or support fails.

JACKIS suggests that a move above March highs could support a broader recovery during the second quarter. However, confirmation remains essential before any trend shift is established.

For now, Kaspa remains locked within a tightening structure. Market participants are watching closely for a breakout signal that defines the next phase.

Kaspa Network Approaches 2B Transactions As Toccata Approaches
KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Kaspa has processed more than 1.957 billion cumulative on-chain transactions as of April 20, 2026, putting the network within days of the 2 billion mark at current activity levels. The timing matters. The milestone lands right before the Toccata hard fork, Kaspa's largest protocol upgrade to date, now set for mainnet activation between June 5 and June 20, 2026.

The transaction count is not a vanity metric. It reflects what the network has actually processed since launch, running on a proof-of-work BlockDAG at 10 blocks per second without the congestion that slows down linear chains like Bitcoin.

What do the numbers actually show?According to the official Kaspa explorer, the network has crossed a block height of 412,700,579 with an average block time of 0.1 seconds. Circulating supply sits at 27.37 billion $KAS, which is 95.39% of the 28.7 billion maximum. Active wallet addresses stand at 538,449, and the current block reward is 2.914 KAS. The next reward reduction is scheduled for May 5, 2026.

The throughput story has been consistent. Hourly bursts have topped 1 million transactions during peak activity, driven by L1 transfers and Layer 2 protocols like Igra L2 that settle on Kaspa. Analysts have pointed out that Kaspa has processed more transactions in four years than Bitcoin has in roughly 17. That comparison is not about superiority. It is about what a parallel-block architecture produces when it runs under real demand.

KAS has caught some tailwind alongside the milestone. The token trades around $0.0347, up 8.67% on the week, with a market cap near $949.75 million and 24-hour volume of $26.61 million, a 20.23% rise over the prior day.

What is Toccata, and why does it matter?Toccata, officially named Kaspa Covenants++, is a non-backward-compatible hard fork that turns Kaspa from a payments-focused settlement layer into a programmable Layer 1. Nodes must upgrade, and the rollout has followed a tight schedule.

The feature freeze happened on April 15, 2026. Testnet 12 is already running covenant and ZK testing, and developers plan a full transition rehearsal on TN10 before the mainnet date is locked in. The activation window slipped from the original May 5 target to give core developer Michael Sutton (@michaelsuttonil) and the team time to finalize the sequencing commitment architecture that ZK circuits and runtimes bind to.

Toccata introduces several things at the base layer:

Native assets and tokens directly on-chainCovenants via extended opcodes under KIP-17, letting UTXOs carry forward enforceable spending rules such as timed releases and multi-stage logicSilverScript, a new high-level compiler and SDK designed to make covenant programming saferZK opcodes and verifiers, including Groth16 and RISC Zero STARK on testnet, for privacy tools and trust-minimized bridgesEarly groundwork for vProgs, the synchronously composable verifiable programs, planned for a later phaseSutton has been direct about the scope. "We are not there yet," he said of vProgs, the synchronously composable verifiable programs on the longer roadmap. The current focus, he notes, is standalone ZK apps with L1 bridging.

What happens after Toccata activates?For node operators, disk usage is expected to rise by 20 to 50%, and existing functionality continues to work. New SDKs and APIs will support the added capabilities without breaking current tools.

As with any non-backward-compatible fork, execution is the open variable. The TN10 rehearsal and the April feature freeze are meant to compress that risk before mainnet.

The longer roadmap keeps pushing throughput. Targets sit at 25, 40, and eventually 100 blocks per second. The goal is to keep the base layer lean while programmability runs through L1 sequencing rather than a global virtual machine.

The 2 billion transaction mark is worth noting on its own. It is also the baseline Toccata is built on. If the upgrade lands cleanly, Kaspa shifts from a chain that moves value fast to one that can enforce rules on how that value moves, without giving up the speed that got it here.

Gate integrates Kasplex Layer 2 to bring smart contracts to Kaspa’s KAS
GT Gate KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Gate has integrated Kasplex Layer 2 on Kaspa, opening a direct bridge for users to move KAS onto an EVM‑compatible DeFi environment.

Summary

Gate has connected its exchange infrastructure to the Kasplex Layer 2 network on Kaspa, enabling KAS deposits and withdrawals via L2. Kasplex uses $KAS as its sole gas and network token, aiming to bring EVM‑compatible smart contracts and DeFi to Kaspa’s high‑throughput BlockDAG chain. The integration is meant to lower user barriers, improve KAS circulation and deepen on‑chain activity across the Kaspa ecosystem. Gate has officially integrated the Kasplex Layer 2 network, allowing users to move Kaspa’s native token KAS between the Kaspa Layer 1 chain and Kasplex L2 directly through the exchange. According to Gate, customers can now “transfer KAS from Kaspa L1 to the Kasplex L2 wallet,” a step the platform says will “significantly” reduce entry barriers while “enhancing asset circulation and on‑chain interaction” for KAS holders.

Kasplex is a Layer 2 solution built on top of Kaspa’s BlockDAG‑based Layer 1 and is designed to add Ethereum‑style smart contract functionality to a network that, like Bitcoin, uses a UTXO model and has no native contract layer. In technical documentation, Kasplex describes itself as “a lightweight Rollup solution based on Kaspa,” embedding EVM bytecode into Kaspa L1 transactions and executing it off‑chain to update Layer 2 state while using Kaspa for ordering and data availability.

Kasplex’s KAS‑only gas model and DeFi goals In posts on X, the Kasplex team has stressed that the network uses bridged $KAS as its only gas token, rather than introducing a separate L2 asset, in order to “preserve economic alignment and keep value within the Kaspa ecosystem.” The project offers a two‑way bridge for moving KAS between L1 and L2 and says smart‑contract deployment is “as simple as redirecting RPC endpoints,” with the aim of making it easy for developers familiar with EVM tooling to launch applications on Kasplex.

Kasplex’s architecture is pitched as a way to unlock DeFi, NFTs and other dApps on Kaspa by combining the base chain’s high‑throughput BlockDAG design with EVM‑compatible execution. Kasplex notes that by using Kaspa L1 for canonical transaction ordering and data, its Rollup‑style design can support automated market makers, lending and borrowing markets, stablecoins and other composable protocols that “cannot be realized on the primary chain” alone.

Kaspa itself has become one of the more actively traded mid‑cap layer‑1 tokens, with a live price of about $0.0345, a 24‑hour trading range between roughly $0.0340 and $0.0353, and a recent 24‑hour volume near $26.4 million. CoinMarketCap data puts Kaspa’s all‑time high at $0.2075, meaning KAS currently trades more than 80% below its peak, a gap backers hope additional L2 utility can help narrow over time.

Kaspa community posts have framed Kasplex as “a huge milestone ahead of imminent mainnet,” highlighting growing momentum around node decentralization, liquidity pools and wallet integrations, including tutorials on bridging KAS and adding the L2 network to Kasware and MetaMask. By wiring Kasplex directly into its deposit and withdrawal rails, Gate is betting that a smoother path onto L2 will translate into more KAS moving into smart contracts, and more activity across Kaspa’s expanding DeFi stack.

Kaspa gains steady traction as BlockchainFX draws attention ahead of launch.

Summary

BlockchainFX (BFX) gains momentum in presale as over $14.26M is raised ahead of its $0.05 launch price. Investors are shifting attention to BFX, a multi-asset Super App offering trading across crypto, stocks, and forex. BFX attracts 23,500+ participants with staking rewards and revenue-sharing tied to platform trading fees. Ever looked at an empty wallet and wondered why someone skipped that one coin everyone joked about before it turned into a gold mine? Missing out on life-changing gains hurts more than a rug pull, but finding the top crypto to buy and hold for short-term returns fixes everything.

The crypto market moves fast as Kaspa (KAS) news shows steady growth while BlockchainFX (BFX) prepares for its big debut. Many search for the top crypto to buy and hold for short-term gains as these two projects dominate recent trends.

BlockchainFX: The licensed multi-asset powerhouse dominating the BFX crypto presale 2026 BlockchainFX (BFX) is not just another token; it is a licensed multi-asset Super App designed to bridge decentralized finance with traditional markets. While most platforms lock users into one niche, this ecosystem allows for trading over 500 assets, including crypto, stocks, gold, and EUR/USD from one web3 interface. The BFX crypto presale 2026 is currently the top crypto to buy and hold for short-term utility because it solves the fragmentation problem in modern trading.

The project is moving at light speed. With over $14.26 million raised and 23,500+ participants already on board, the energy is undeniable. Early buyers are grabbing tokens at the current price of $0.035 because the demand is skyrocketing as people realize the guaranteed upside. The launch price is set at $0.05, which means early adopters secure a massive value increase before trading even begins.

Why early adopters are swapping other bags for BFX The math behind the platform is designed for long-term wealth. Instead of just holding a speculative asset, BFX stakers receive daily rewards in both BFX and USDT. This comes from 70% of the platform trading fees being sent back to the community.

FeatureBlockchainFX benefitAsset Variety500+ Assets (Forex, Stocks, Gold, Crypto)Passive IncomeUp to 70% Fee Redistribution to StakersSecurityFully Audited by CertiK and CoinsultPhysical UtilityMetal and 18-Karat Gold BFX Visa Cards Massive financial upside and founder perks The global market potential is staggering. Daily forex volume sits at $7.5T while crypto is only at $89B. This tiny 0.87% slice of the pie means BlockchainFX has massive room to expand. Participants who enter now can also unlock “Founder’s Club” perks, including up to $25,000 in trading credits and exclusive Visa cards that bridge crypto to real-world spending.

Huge $500,000 giveaway and launch news The community is buzzing because a $500,000 giveaway is currently live. Ten lucky participants will split this massive pool of $BFX tokens. The top prize alone is $120,000. Additionally, the team has a major update: once the raise hits $15M, BlockchainFX will officially launch. Being so close to $14.2M means the clock is ticking. Use the bonus code CEX60 right now to secure 20% extra tokens on any purchase. This bonus turns a standard position into a powerhouse portfolio instantly.

The Kaspa price legacy: A lesson in speed Kaspa news reminds everyone of what happens when a runner is caught early. Starting at an ICO price that was a fraction of a cent, Kaspa multiplied its value by hundreds of times. Early adopters who ignored the skeptics saw their small bags turn into massive fortunes.

Many people doubted the BlockDAG tech behind Kaspa early on, but those who held tight became wealthy. While that ship has sailed for those looking for 100x gains, the crypto world always provides a fresh start. Missing the Kaspa price explosion was a mistake, but not a final one.

Is BlockchainFX the top crypto to buy and hold for short-term gains? The BlockchainFX presale is the clear answer for anyone tired of watching from the sidelines. With its $0.035 current price and the 20% extra tokens available via code CEX60, the potential for immediate ROI is massive. It captures the same energy that made early Kaspa buyers rich.

Do not let this be another story about the one that got away. Secure a spot in the BlockchainFX presale today to claim a share of the $500,000 giveaway and referral rewards. The move toward the $15M launch target is happening fast. This is the top crypto to buy and hold for short-term success in 2026.

Kaspa ($KAS) Sets Sights on $10 Billion Market Cap as Toccata Hardfork Approaches in June 2026
BTC Bitcoin KAS Kaspa LTC Litecoin
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Kaspa’s Toccata hardfork targets mainnet activation between June 5 and June 20, 2026, enabling native token issuance. With 95.4% of KAS already in circulation, supply dilution risk remains far lower than most competing Layer 1 networks. Kaspa processes over 10,000 TPS at peak loads, far outpacing Bitcoin’s 7 TPS and Litecoin’s 56 TPS throughput. A $10 billion market cap would place KAS at roughly $0.365 per token, representing a 10.7x gain from current levels. Kaspa ($KAS) is drawing renewed attention from the crypto community ahead of a major network upgrade. The blockchain, known for its proof-of-work architecture and high throughput, is targeting a $10 billion market cap.

Currently down 83% from its all-time high, the project carries several upcoming catalysts. These include the Toccata hardfork, scheduled between June 5 and June 20, 2026.

With 95.4% of its supply in circulation, Kaspa presents a distinct structure among Layer 1 competitors.

Kaspa’s Fair Launch Separates It From Competing Layer 1 Networks Kaspa launched in November 2021 through a fair launch, similar to Bitcoin. Every KAS token in existence was mined, with no team allocations or investor reserves.

There are no unlock schedules, and no early backers are waiting to exit. This removes a recurring source of selling pressure common across many Layer 1 networks.

Many competing Layer 1 networks carry heavy token unlock schedules that weigh on price action. According to @ourcryptotalk, SUI is down 83% from its all-time high with 61% of its supply still locked. SEI’s circulating supply has nearly doubled, from 3 billion to 6.7 billion tokens.

Can $KAS hit $10 billion?

Let me break down why that is possible.

It is the most logical outcome if the roadmap delivers.

Yes, it is down by 83% from the highs.
It even dropped after its Crescendo Hard Fork

So what needs to be done?

Kaspa’s supply, by contrast, is nearly fully distributed. By the end of 2026, new emission approaches zero as the network reaches its emission cliff.

This means a 10x price target requires roughly a 10x market cap increase. Competing chains facing supply growth need a 20x or 30x market cap expansion to achieve the same result.

At a $10 billion market cap, Kaspa would trade at approximately $0.365 per token. That would represent a 10.7x increase from current price levels. With supply near its ceiling, new capital flows translate more directly into price movement.

Toccata Hardfork and Technical Milestones Set a New Course for Kaspa The Toccata hardfork targets mainnet activation between June 5 and June 20, 2026. It introduces native asset issuance, allowing developers to issue tokens directly on the network.

KRC-20 tokens become a base-layer feature for the first time. From there, DeFi, NFTs, lending protocols, and tokenized assets all become possible.

Kaspa’s throughput already separates it from other proof-of-work chains. The network runs 10 blocks per second since the Crescendo upgrade and has processed nearly 2 billion cumulative transactions.

At peak loads, the network has reached over 10,000 TPS. Bitcoin processes around 7 TPS, and Litecoin handles approximately 56.

Additional upgrades are planned beyond the Toccata hardfork. SilverScript will add new developer tooling and zero-knowledge infrastructure directly at the base layer.

The DAGKnight upgrade is also in development, along with potential major exchange listings. Each of these could serve as a standalone catalyst for the network’s valuation.

Taken together, these milestones mark a shift for Kaspa from a payments chain to a programmable Layer 1. Near-complete supply distribution, stacked upgrades, and an approaching emission cliff create an unusual setup for 2026.

Whether the $10 billion target materializes will depend on timely execution and broader market conditions.

Kaspa nears a critical level – Can KAS bulls restart the rally now?
KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
KAS is approaching a critical point on the chart, but the broader setup is beginning to lean constructively again.

After shifting market structure to the upside last week, the price has now pulled back into a key demand zone where two important support factors meet—a rising trendline and a proven zone of buyer interest.

The network’s fundamentals and on-chain metrics have started to reflect the strong trading activity, with most orders coming from the token buyers.

Network growth continues to strengthen the long-term case Fundamentally, KAS is still expanding at a notable pace. The network has now processed roughly 2.05 billion cumulative transactions, while total active addresses have climbed to 95 million.

Those figures matter because they point to sustained network usage rather than temporary speculation.

In most cases, that kind of on-chain growth gives price action a stronger long-term base, especially when the market is already testing a technically important support area.

The combination of rising usage and improving structure gives the current setup more depth than price alone suggests.

Whale activity and market bias support reversal odds Positioning also remains slightly tilted toward buyers. Around 57% of market positions are still in longs, showing that bulls continue to hold a modest edge despite the recent pullback.

Source: Coinalyze Open interest has stayed relatively flat, which adds a note of caution. It suggests aggressive conviction has not fully returned yet. Still, the rise in whale activity is beginning to stand out more than the stagnant derivatives data.

That matters because larger buyers often move before broader institutional participation catches up. If whale accumulation continues while market activity expands, the current demand zone could become the launch point for a stronger reversal.

Source: CryptoQuant Demand zone now becomes the level to watch KAS is now sitting at the most important level on its short-term chart. Price is testing a confluence demand zone, whales are becoming more active, and market structure still leans bullish from last week’s shift.

If buyers defend this zone cleanly, the current pullback may turn into a continuation setup. If not, the market likely needs more time to rebuild.

As it stands, KAS is not breaking down. It is testing whether support is strong enough to restart momentum.

Source: TradingView Final Summary KAS is retesting a key confluence demand zone where trendline support and buyer interest continue to align. Whale activity is rising as network growth remains strong, improving the odds of a bullish reaction from support.

Kaspa Traders Waiting For Confirmation Could Miss DOGEBALL As The Top Crypto To Buy And Hold For Short Term Before The Stage Jumps
KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Kaspa traders know this feeling better than anyone. The biggest gains rarely wait for perfect confirmation, and by the time the chart looks safe, the best entry is often already gone. That is exactly why the top crypto to buy and hold for short term is usually the one still in its early phase while the wider market is busy watching yesterday’s winner.

Kaspa became a painful lesson for anyone who hesitated too long, but DOGEBALL is shaping up as the next chance to act before the crowd catches up. With a live presale, rising participation, a reduced token supply, and a launch target far above the current entry, DOGEBALL is giving buyers a rare second chance to enter low before another price jump closes the gap.

Top Crypto To Buy And Hold For Short Term buyers can still secure DOGEBALL at $0.0005 today, but this second chance could disappear as soon as the next stage moves up.

Kaspa Turned Doubt Into Massive Gains And Late Buyers Into Spectators Table of Contents

Kaspa Turned Doubt Into Massive Gains And Late Buyers Into SpectatorsDOGEBALL Presale Growth, Token Burn, And Utility Make It Hard To IgnoreBuy DOGEBALL Before The Timed Presale Jumps AgainHow To Join The DOGEBALL Presale In MinutesMissing Kaspa Was Painful, Missing DOGEBALL Could Feel Even WorseFind Out More Information HereFAQs For Top Crypto To Buy And Hold For Short TermWhich Crypto Is Best To Buy For Short-Term?Which Crypto To Buy For Short-Term Gain?Which Cheap Crypto Will Rise? Kaspa is one of those stories that still stings because the signs were there long before the crowd accepted them. Early believers stepped in when conviction was low and attention was limited, and the result was enormous upside as Kaspa grew from tiny early prices into one of the market’s biggest success stories. The people who waited for complete certainty did not just miss a trade, they missed a wealth-building window that cannot be recreated at the same level.

That is what makes Kaspa such a powerful psychological trigger for readers today. It succeeded because it had a strong identity, a committed community, and enough momentum to keep building while others kept doubting. The market has already shown that the top crypto to buy and hold for short term is often the one people hesitate to buy early, and that regret is exactly why DOGEBALL is getting attention now.

DOGEBALL Presale Growth, Token Burn, And Utility Make It Hard To Ignore DOGEBALL is built on DOGECHAIN, a custom Ethereum Layer 2 that combines gaming and payments into one ecosystem. It gives users a way to send crypto while receivers get fiat directly into their bank accounts, supports 30+ currencies, removes FX fees, and enables near-instant transactions without relying on banks, PayPal, or other middlemen. That gives DOGEBALL a very clear real-world use case from the start.

This is also why many buyers will consider DOGEBALL over other presales. $DOGEBALL is used for transaction fees across the ecosystem, staking rewards add another incentive to hold, and the project connects payments, gaming, and on-chain rewards in a way that creates ongoing token demand. When you add a 100% smart contract audit score, near-zero gas fees, sub-second finality, and a game contest tied to the presale, top crypto to buy and hold for short term becomes a very real label here.

Buy DOGEBALL Before The Timed Presale Jumps Again DOGEBALL is currently in Stage 3 of its presale at $0.0005, with $281K+ raised and 970+ participants already involved. Due to the success of the project and repeated requests from the community, the presale has been extended, which means buyers now have a second chance to secure DOGEBALL at a low price before the next increase. On Monday, May 11, 2026, the team also burned 4bn $DOGEBALL from the 20bn presale allocation, removing 20% of the presale supply and making the setup even tighter.

The presale has now moved to a timed format with 20 stages, each lasting up to 7 days, and every stage comes with a price rise while unsold tokens are burnt. If someone buys at today’s $0.0005 price and the token launches at $0.015, that is a 30x return. A $1,000 buy today gets 2,000,000 $DOGEBALL, and at launch that would be worth $30,000, creating a potential $29,000 profit. If buyers use the bonus code now, they can secure even more DOGEBALL before this reopened window closes again.

How To Join The DOGEBALL Presale In Minutes Buying DOGEBALL is designed to be simple, which matters when presale stages can move quickly. All buyers need to do is visit the official DOGEBALL presale page, connect their wallet, choose a payment method, and complete the purchase while the token is still priced at $0.0005. The updated timed presale widget makes it easier to track where the sale stands.

Speed matters here because this is no longer an open-ended presale with predictable spacing. Stages now run on a timed system, allocations can move faster than expected, and every price jump makes the same entry more expensive. Anyone serious about DOGEBALL crypto presale 2026 should also apply the bonus code now to receive extra tokens while this second chance is still open.

Missing Kaspa Was Painful, Missing DOGEBALL Could Feel Even Worse Kaspa showed how quickly the market can move once a project gains traction, and the people who waited for perfect confirmation ended up watching others enjoy the real upside. DOGEBALL now offers the kind of early setup those same buyers usually wish they had seen sooner. It has a low current entry, visible presale growth, a token burn that reduces supply, a stronger utility case than most meme-led launches, and a launch target that creates a clear upside story.

That is why DOGEBALL stands out in the current DOGEBALL presale cycle. It connects gaming, staking, payments, and real crypto-to-fiat transfers in one ecosystem while still giving early buyers a low entry point. For anyone still thinking about the top crypto to buy and hold for short term, Kaspa should be the reminder and DOGEBALL should be the response.

Which Crypto Is Best To Buy For Short-Term? DOGEBALL looks strong for short-term buyers because the current presale price is $0.0005, while the expected launch price is $0.015, giving early entries a clear upside gap.

Which Crypto To Buy For Short-Term Gain? DOGEBALL stands out because it already has 970+ participants, $281K+ raised, a timed presale structure, and growing awareness after marketing was ramped up on May 11, 2026.

Which Cheap Crypto Will Rise? DOGEBALL has a stronger case than many low-priced tokens because it supports gaming rewards, staking, and crypto-to-fiat payments, creating real utility that can help support future demand.

BlockDAG Tops Trending Cryptos 2026 While Arbitrum, Internet Computer, And Kaspa Fight Market Resistance
ARB Arbitrum ICP Internet Computer KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
The cryptocurrency market in June 2026 is defined by extreme structural shifts as massive capital blocks rotate out of speculative public exchanges. High frequency algorithmic trading and sudden regulatory actions have created a highly volatile environment, completely destroying retail profit margins. Portfolio managers are shifting their attention toward native utility platforms featuring isolated treasury contracts to protect their principal investments.

This ongoing market correction proves that standard open market trading is no longer a viable strategy for sustainable capital growth. Sidelined investors are aggressively seeking ecosystems that provide fixed financial guarantees rather than relying entirely on unpredictable daily trading volume.

BlockDAG Announces the Concluding Phase of Its Legacy Sale Table of Contents

BlockDAG Announces the Concluding Phase of Its Legacy SaleArbitrum Consolidates Near Historic Price LowsInternet Computer Fights Stagnant Market MomentumKaspa Faces Heavy Selling Pressure Below Moving AveragesTo Conclude When analyzing the top trending cryptos 2026, BlockDAG dominates institutional interest by announcing the final operational countdown for its legacy tier. This clean urgency play focuses on the fact that the promotional introductory tier is officially wrapping up, making this the absolute final window to secure these specific terms before standard price discovery begins. Participants can leverage the native direct swap dashboard to acquire tokens at the foundational rate of $0.00000044. Every allocation is securely locked into a guaranteed corporate buyback contract fixed at $0.10.

This hardcoded exit strategy eliminates the stress of chart monitoring and completely shields portfolios from sudden liquidity crunches. As the premier choice among trending cryptos 2026, BlockDAG is experiencing massive capital inflows as large scale asset managers drain the remaining treasury pool. Once the current allocation reaches maximum capacity, this fixed ten cent settlement will disappear permanently. Everyday buyers must execute their positions immediately before the closing bell rings on this historic wealth building vehicle.

Arbitrum Consolidates Near Historic Price Lows Market data from mid June 2026 shows Arbitrum trading at a highly depressed value of $0.09. The network has experienced a massive 74.33% drop over the past twelve months, establishing an all time low of $0.06 earlier in the month. Despite handling significant decentralized application volume as a layer two scaling solution, the native asset continues to suffer from heavy token unlocks and institutional distribution.

While the token is often listed among trending cryptos 2026, actual price action remains deeply bearish. The $0.10 zone acts as heavy overhead resistance, constantly rejecting localized relief rallies. Until the core development team restructures the tokenomics to encourage long term holding, Arbitrum will likely remain trapped in this tight consolidation phase.

Internet Computer Fights Stagnant Market Momentum Internet Computer continues to face significant market friction, trading near $8.45 during the second week of June 2026. The network has successfully expanded its cloud infrastructure capabilities, attracting enterprise developers looking for decentralized hosting solutions. However, this fundamental utility has failed to translate into meaningful token price appreciation.

The asset recently broke below its 50 day moving average, signaling increased bearish control over the short term. Support currently sits at $7.80, and a failure to hold this level could trigger a rapid descent toward the $6.50 range. While developers consider the platform functionally superior to older chains, retail investors searching for trending cryptos 2026 are heavily disappointed by the persistent lack of upward chart momentum.

Kaspa Faces Heavy Selling Pressure Below Moving Averages Kaspa is currently navigating a tough technical landscape, with prices hovering around $0.14 in mid June 2026. After experiencing explosive growth in previous quarters, the proof of work network is now enduring a prolonged distribution phase. Large scale early miners are actively taking profits, creating a massive supply wall that suppresses new retail buying volume. The asset is currently testing critical structural support at the $0.13 zone.

A confirmed daily close below this baseline could invalidate the entire macro bullish structure. As portfolio managers evaluate trending cryptos 2026, Kaspa presents a highly risky setup. The lack of smart contract functionality limits the ecosystem’s ability to lock up circulating supply, leaving the token entirely dependent on constant spot market demand.

To Conclude Evaluating the current digital asset sector highlights the extreme danger of holding highly speculative utility tokens. Arbitrum remains severely depressed at $0.09 following a massive yearly decline. Internet Computer struggles to clear technical resistance near $8.45, while Kaspa faces heavy miner distribution at $0.14.

In stark contrast, BlockDAG establishes itself as the ultimate leader among trending cryptos 2026. By utilizing the concluding legacy sale to secure a $0.00000044 entry, retail investors guarantee a fixed $0.10 corporate exit. This mathematically flawless framework provides total financial security, making BlockDAG the absolute best choice before the promotional vault closes permanently.

Stroem Finance is Connecting Kaspa, Igra, & Ethereum...
ETH Ethereum KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Trustless Cross-Chain Swaps Without BridgesStroem Finance is preparing to debut a cross-chain atomic swap protocol that will enable trustless asset exchanges between @kaspaunchained, @Igra_Labs, and @Ethereum. The project is positioning itself as a bridge-free alternative for users who want to move assets across these three networks without relying on a centralised intermediary.

The protocol is built around hash-locked contracts, more formally known as Hash Time-Locked Contracts (HTLCs). These contracts use hash-locks and time-locks to ensure that a transaction is either completed by both parties or automatically cancelled if one side fails to meet the conditions. By using cryptographic guarantees rather than institutional trust, these transactions ensure value transfers either happen completely or not at all.

The design is a deliberate response to the risks associated with conventional cross-chain bridges. Atomic swaps allow for direct, trustless exchanges between compatible blockchains, while cross-chain bridges lock assets on one chain and create wrapped tokens on another. To date, over $2.6 billion has been lost in exploits due to cross-chain bridge hacks, which is why the Web3 ecosystem is rapidly adopting superior cross-chain solutions.

Testnet Phase Underway Before Mainnet LaunchThe Stroem Finance protocol is currently restricted to a dedicated testnet environment while developers work to finalise the settlement logic. A full mainnet deployment is planned once that process is complete.

Stroem Finance has been noted as a peer-to-peer atomic swap solution between Ethereum and Kaspa , and the inclusion of @Igra_Labs broadens the scope of its interoperability ambitions. Bringing three distinct networks under a single trustless settlement layer is a technically demanding undertaking, particularly given that atomic swaps face compatibility challenges, as both blockchains must support specific cryptographic features and HTLCs for a swap to work.

If Stroem Finance delivers on its roadmap, the protocol could offer a meaningful alternative for users seeking to move assets across Kaspa, Igra, and Ethereum without wrapping tokens, paying bridge fees, or trusting a third-party custodian.

Experts Identify High-Potential Altcoins for the Next Bull Run
AKT Akash Network KAS Kaspa ORAI Oraichain QNT Quant
CoinGecko News
Original source text
The cryptocurrency market has been moving within a narrow range for a while, indicating that it might be an ideal time for investors to find potentially high-performing altcoins and prepare for the next bull run. Based on expert recommendations, we have compiled five high-potential altcoins that could potentially yield 10 to 50 times returns during the upcoming bull market.

Morpheus Labs (MIND)Morpheus Labs aims to simplify the creation of Blockchain and decentralized applications (dApps) through its Blockchain-as-a-Service network. By offering low-code tools and AI-powered services, Morpheus leverages significant technology trends to make Blockchain technology more accessible.

This increased accessibility is expected to lead to more projects being launched on the platform. Currently, with a market cap of $6.6 million, MIND has significant growth potential, possibly reaching a market cap comparable to Centrifuge’s $300 million.

Akash Network (AKT)Akash Network is a marketplace for renting and borrowing GPUs, a critical resource for AI and decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN). The continuous demand for GPUs, especially from the AI sector, positions Akash favorably.

Recently, AKT saw a strong price increase after being listed on Upbit, a popular South Korean exchange. Akash’s decentralized GPU rental is up to 60% cheaper than centralized cloud computing providers, making it an attractive option. Currently, with a market cap of $1.1 billion and a price of $4.84, AKT is well-positioned to benefit from the growing needs of the AI and DePIN sectors.

Quant (QNT)Quant offers Blockchain solutions through its Overledger platform, an API that connects various Blockchains, facilitating easy integration and deployment of projects. Overledger supports digital currencies, cross-border payments, and supply chain logistics.

With its entire supply in circulation, QNT‘s current price is $95.22, and its market cap is $1.38 billion. Despite being 74% below its all-time high of $427, QNT’s diverse use cases and robust infrastructure indicate significant growth potential.

Oraichain (ORAI)Oraichain offers AI oracles that enhance data quality, security, and reliability by combining AI with Web3. It supports interoperability and decentralized storage by integrating EVM and Cosmos ecosystems. Oraichain also facilitates the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA).

With a price of $11.46 and a market cap of $183 million, ORAI has recorded an impressive 194% growth over the past year. Oraichain’s AI-powered solutions make it a unique player in the Blockchain space.

Kaspa (KAS)Kaspa is a Proof of Work (PoW) Blockchain that offers high speed and scalability using a blockDAG structure. Unlike traditional Blockchains, Kaspa allows multiple blocks to be created simultaneously, increasing transaction speed and volume. This makes it ideal for dApp development and micropayments.

Currently priced at $0.11 with a market cap of $2.8 billion, KAS‘s innovative approach and strong developer interest position it as a promising mid-cap gem.

PNUT Gains Steam, Will Peanut the Squirrel Climb Back to $1?
KAS Kaspa PNUT Peanut the Squirrel
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Peanut the Squirrel is up over 12%, hovering around $0.4114. PNUT’s daily trading volume has surged by 70%. The global crypto market cap has reached $3.33 trillion, with the fear and greed index value holding at 73, reflecting the greed sentiment across the market. Notably, PI, WIF, and Kaspa took the spotlight among top gainers with two-digit gains. 

Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT) is one of the trending coins that has surged by over 12.08%. In the early hours, before the bullish shift, the asset traded at the bottom range of $0.344. The asset has tested the resistance between $0.36 and $0.45 levels. 

At the time of writing, Peanut the Squirrel trades within the $0.4114 range, with a market cap of $411 million. The asset’s daily trading volume has increased by over 70.30%, reaching $1.12 billion.

Peanut the Squirrel has posted a remarkable gain of over 150% in the last seven days. The asset began the week trading at around $0.1641 and gradually, the asset has mounted to a high range of $0.46. 

Is Peanut the Squirrel Eyeing New Heights? The four-hour chart of Peanut the Squirrel exhibits a positive trading pattern. After multiple red candle formations, the asset turned green and entered the bullish zone. If the asset could break the $0.43 and $0.46 levels, more upside might occur. 

Contrarily, a rejection at the crucial $0.4021 range might invite the bearish pressure. A breakdown below this mark could push PNUT to the $0.37 mark, kickstarting a death cross, making the bullish shift challenging.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line has crossed over the signal line, indicating that the bullish momentum is building. PNUT’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator remains negative at -0.03, suggesting that the capital is flowing out, and slight selling pressure in the market.

In addition, the Bull-Bear Power (BBP) reading of 0.0881 signals mild bullish momentum, with the buyers having a edge over sellers. Peanut the Squirrel’s daily relative strength index (RSI), found at 67.28, implying that the asset is approaching the overbought zone.
