Binance Rejected – Kaspa Stands Its Ground

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

First up, the biggest spark: the Binance saga. Yonatan’s blunt “no” to listing terms lit up the chats, with many repeating that Binance wanted “three percent of all coins” to list KAS – some even tossing around “forty-something million” as shorthand for the ask. That pushback supercharged vibes, with calls to ditch Binance futures if there’s no spot and a chorus of “good riddance.” It’s rare to see alignment this strong on principle over convenience… and people loved it.

Second, tech tea: folks say we might see the first DAT in “a few weeks,” plus a vProgs (vfrogs) presentation soon — and then again post-DAT. Meanwhile, KII chatter popped after “what Rory said today,” with some genuinely hyped for the first time in a year. The mood: if KII lands like envisioned, maybe we won’t “need Chinese exchanges” at all. Big promises, cautious hope.

Third, sentiment check: it’s whiplash. On one side: fatigue that “alts are up fifty to a hundred percent” while KAS “stagnates,” and a Fear & Greed callout at “twenty.” On the other: loud targets everywhere — from “three cents soon” to “ten cents next week,” even end-goal dreams like “one thousand dollars, per coin.” Modest, right? This split—doom vs. moon—defined today’s chat.

Fourth, exchange friction and flight. We saw multiple “I’m out” messages: moving bags off Binance, complaints about being stuck on Bitget, and gripes that Gate pairs vanish or get limited to USDC, leaving bags blocked. Some are defaulting to Kraken for simplicity — “ Kraken can eat fees.” If you heard more “self-custody” talk today, you’re not imagining it.

Fifth, a small but earnest community push: a proposal landed in the Votes section for a Kaspa-based multimedia sharing site by MmoStars. The ask was simple: “show love and up-vote.” It didn’t dominate the day, but it’s a nice pulse of grassroots building amid the noise. Little bricks make the big wall.

So, today’s recap in one line: principle over listing, eyes on KII/DAT/vProgs, sentiment split between “it’s over” and “send it,” exchanges catching heat, and a nudge toward community-built apps.

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