Kaspa Volume FUD vs Builder Momentum

Hey, welcome to Kaspa Daily Pulse – here’s what the Kaspa community’s been buzzing about today.

First up, the “builders vs. numbers” debate popped off again. Someone pointed out Kaspa’s daily trading volume used to hit around half a billion dollars in the good times… and now it’s more like $16 million. That kicked off a pretty grounded pushback: volume swings aren’t automatically “the project is dead,” and if anything, a few people said the bigger concern is still more real-world P2P use cases and the kind of development that actually drives usage, not just trading.

Second highlight: Hackathon energy is real. One of the organizers shared they’ve already got 52 registrations, and there are still 3 weeks before it even starts. That got treated like a legit milestone—like, “okay, this is actually shaping up,” instead of another one of those “coming soon” things that never lands.

Third: the community kept circling back to the tech and documentation angle. There was chatter about a “yellow paper” being only 11 pages, and people reminding everyone that documents like that can start as outlines and then evolve through feedback loops. Basically: stop acting like it’s carved in stone… and start treating it like something you iterate on.

Fourth: HTX listing talk is back on the menu… with a big asterisk. People were throwing around the idea that it’s “confirmed,” with some timing chatter pointing at the 24th, and others talking it up like “new market exposure.” But it wasn’t cleanly presented as an official announcement in-chat, and a bunch of folks were also cynical—saying listings often just become liquidity for impatient sellers. So… excitement, skepticism, and “we’ll see” all at once.

Last quick pulse check on mood: the price snapshot shared had KAS at about 4.4 cents, up roughly 5% on the day, with someone noting the rank around #87. Even with the usual doom-posting, there’s still that steady undercurrent of DCA folks saying, “I’m just accumulating and outlasting.”

That’s it for today’s pulse. Let’s see what tomorrow brings. Catch you then.
