Updated: Jan 02 2026- K Social Launch: Kaspa has launched the K Social microblogging app, where every post is written directly to Kaspa's Layer 1 for minimal fees, marking a significant step in its application potential beyond payments and speculation, thereby enhancing the network's real-world use cases.
- Surge in Trading Volume: The addition of KAS spot trading with 10x leverage on HTX has driven the 24-hour trading volume to $440 million, indicating strong buying momentum and further solidifying KAS's position in the crypto market.
- Technical Advantages: Kaspa's Crescendo upgrade and GHOSTDAG protocol enable it to process 10 blocks per second, significantly surpassing Bitcoin's transaction speed and addressing its low throughput and slow confirmation times, thus improving user experience.
- Long-term Holding Trend: On-chain data suggests that larger KAS holders have been increasing their positions rather than selling after HTX's listing, indicating a positive outlook on Kaspa's long-term prospects, which could drive its price higher.
