Community on Fire as Kaspa Surges Nearly 10%

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

First up, the Binance Blockchain Awards voting has the chat fired up. Folks are reporting that developer Michael Sutton is leading “Industry Advocates” with about 978 votes, while Yonatan Sompolinsky tops “Independent Researcher” with roughly 1.5K+. There’s real pride here… and also nerves about last-minute KYC’d bot waves or accusations of “illegally bulk-registered” voters. Translation: people are hyped, but bracing for drama.

Next, market action. Multiple voices called out a lively move from roughly 5.2 cents to just under 6 cents, with one recap claiming Kaspa was up about 9.9% on the day – cue the “we’re mooning” jokes… and some eye-rolls. “Never seen such euphoria over such little gains,” one user quipped, while others warned that euphoria = blow-off top. Net-net: momentum lifted spirits, but nobody agrees whether it sticks.

On the “why,” theories flew. A few traders pointed to rising ATR and “volatility starting to increase,” plus talk of a bullish MACD crossover and a pivot-point break adding short-term tailwinds. Another post credited a “record 1.8K TPS” milestone for confidence, alongside “ads” driving ~198K impressions. It’s very much a choose-your-own-catalyst kind of day, with the room split on whether any of that truly moved price.

Now, the big boundary line: rumors. The room was thick with Tier-1 listing chatter, “exchange is buying,” and birthday-listing fantasies. Reminder from the grown-ups at the table: those are rumors, not confirmations. The smarter thread today wasn’t “when listing,” it was “don’t build a thesis on hopium.” The crowd standard: celebrate the green, but don’t overfit a story to it.

Finally, sentiment check. It swung between rocket emojis and gallows humor. Some advocated scaling – “sell the rips, buy the dips” – while others admitted they trade off emotion and want simple ladders and patience. Underneath the memes, there’s a real theme: cautious optimism with a healthy distrust of narratives. Or as one put it: “Simple answer is never the answer… except when it is.”

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