HTX Listing Live… And Nothing Happened?

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

First up… the big headline in chat was the HTX listing actually going live. People were watching for the classic “new exchange = instant green candle”… and yeah… the vibe was basically, “So… it listed… and the price did the unbelievable: nothing.” That kicked off a mini spiral of doomposting — a few folks tossing around “dead coin, dead project” energy — and then the immediate clapback from the longs: “Cool, sell then… I’ll hold to zero.” One person even said they’re still buying and might scoop “one hundred sixty KAS-thousand” more. So overall? Listing hype didn’t deliver a dopamine hit, but conviction is still VERY split — loud bears, loud believers, and everyone side-eyeing the “why isn’t this moving?” moment.

Second highlight, and this one’s actually important… a scam incident. Someone said they lost “ten thousand KAS” after clicking what they thought was the Kaspa homepage… but the chat spotted the problem: the link was a fake site, “kaspadrop dot org,” and people pointed out the legit site is “kaspa dot org.” The tone turned pretty fast — lots of “sorry man,” plus the hard truth: there’s basically no way to recover it. It also triggered a broader security rant: double-check links, assume anything “too good to be true” is a scam, and remember that self-custody also means self-security.

Third, on the builder side… there was actual Kaspathon chatter. Someone asked about hackathon signup goals, and the answer was basically: next milestone is “one hundred.” There was also some context that earlier big hackathons had bigger prize pools and more organizers… and Kaspa doesn’t have that “foundation” machine behind it, so it’s more grassroots. Still, you could feel the builder mindset creeping in — “I wake up, check hackathon signups, check the Kas GitHub, repeat.”

And tying into that, the nerdier debate of the day: people arguing what actually drives adoption — not just faster blocks, but apps, real-world usage, and stuff like “vprog” getting shipped… because devs want reasons to build, not a ghost town.

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