Kaspa Community on Edge After 15% APY Confusion

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

First up… the vibe was all over the place. A big chunk of chat was pure doom-and-gloom — lots of “it’s jover,” “we’re cooked,” and the usual kas-poverty jokes. But mixed in, you also had a few people saying they’re starting the year green, like “I’m up 72%,” or “I’m up 83%,” and calling it a fresh reset for 2026. So sentiment wasn’t uniformly bearish… it was more like emotional whiplash: despair posts colliding with pockets of “new year, new mindset.”

Highlight two: HTX and that “15% APY on KAS” question. Someone asked if anybody’s actually getting 15% APY with their KAS on HTX, and the immediate reaction was basically, “uhh… what are they doing?” Then people noticed weird inconsistencies — like CoinGecko not showing HTX, but CoinMarketCap does, and somebody asking “what the heck is CRMClick?” The takeaway from the room felt like: confusion + caution. No one dropped an official announcement… so it stayed in the “wait, what is going on?” bucket.

Third: roadmap curiosity popped up again — specifically “wen KIP-18 hard fork.” The only real response was “months,” plus some joking around it, but the fact it got asked tells you people are still watching upgrades closely… and impatiently.

Fourth: the community also wrestled with narratives versus substance. Someone posted a big macro-style claim that Kaspa “surpassed the stock-to-flow of silver last month,” pushing a “visualizer” and “NFA” vibe. A couple folks liked the animation, but others instantly called it “scammer.” Classic: half the room wants big-picture hopium, the other half wants receipts.

And last: there was a surprisingly solid mini-thread comparing Kaspa’s feel to other projects — especially wallet UX and development culture. People dunked on how some chains make you sync for hours just to see a balance, then contrasted that with “Kaspa wallet… lightning fast… just works,” plus a little pride around Kaspa feeling more decentralized than the usual VC-backed launches.

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