Kaspa Holds Strong as Binance Vote Heats Up

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

First up, price and vibes. Multiple folks called out a mini “pump,” with KAS hovering around about 5.8 to 6 cents – we saw specific callouts like $0.058 and $0.060 – and a lot of cheering for breaking 6c cleanly. Some noted Kaspa was counter-trending Bitcoin, even while BTC was reportedly down ~4%, which had people joking about “shorts getting eaten.” All of this rolled right into macro chatter before the Fed: one message put the odds of a quarter-point cut at 98%, so nerves and hopium were both high.

Second, the Binance vote push dominated timelines. The community kept urging votes for Yonatan and Michael Sutton, framing it as free marketing and a way to show strength — while others argued that real building > popularity contests. There was also some ugly, racist back-and-forth about “Indians vs. Chinese” voters that moderators had to swat down. The net: strong mobilization energy, but also reminders to keep it respectful.

Third, governance drama around an India campus event proposal. The ask was discussed in detail — questions on a $1,500 budget, whether 300 students on December 15 is realistic, and whether the program reads educational or promotional. The thread got heated; several voices asked for clearer line items and less personal attacks, while others clarified the school’s in India, not the U.S., which mattered to the finals-week debate. The takeaway: interest in outreach is high, but folks want sharper proposals and better tone.

Fourth, market structure & earning tactics. A miner shared they’re providing liquidity on CoinEx as an AMM, pairing weekly mining rewards with USDT and claiming about 27% APY while things trade sideways. Others mapped “top wallets” as likely exchange custodial addresses. On the flip side, miner economics were questioned — a note said a player paying 6 cents per kWh is not sustainable at current prices. And there were CEX pain points: one user said Kraken restricted their account pending bank statements, and another griped you can buy KAS on Bitpanda but can’t withdraw until some threshold is met. Fun.

Lastly, sentiment: lots of “is this it?” energy, some calling this “2023 vibes,” others tempering it as just a few percent up day. Still, the mood felt notably lighter, with several celebrating even small green candles.

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