Kaspa (KAS) Price Dropped Hard, Ownership Didn’t – Here’s What’s Really Happening

2 min read

Kaspa saw a sharp pullback, with the KAS price down about 15% in a short window. On the surface, it looked like a heavy sell-off. On-chain data tells a different story.

Wallet behavior stayed steady. Even holders who picked up KAS in the past three months did not rush to sell. Exchange inflows stayed flat, and there was no broad spread of coins across new wallets. In simple terms, price moved, but ownership barely changed.

What the KAS On-Chain Data Shows

The chart tracking supply that has not moved in over three months stayed stable through the drop. That matters. If spot holders were exiting, this line would fall as coins moved to exchanges. It didn’t.

This points away from panic selling by holders. It points toward a market move driven by structure, not conviction.

What Likely Caused the KAS Price Drop

The timing lines up with thin liquidity and a leverage flush. When order books are shallow, it does not take much selling to push price lower. Once price starts to slide, long positions get forced out, and that selling feeds on itself.

This kind of move can happen fast. It can look dramatic on the chart, even when underlying ownership stays the same.

However, despite the volatility, Kaspa (KAS) continues to rank near the top in community discussion and sentiment. That does not mean price cannot move lower again. It does mean belief among holders has not collapsed with the dip.

Price can swing quickly. Confidence tends to change more slowly. The two do not always move together, especially during liquidation-driven moves.

What to Watch Next For Kaspa

The key question now is stability. If liquidations slow and the KAS price starts to base, the recent drop may end up looking more like a reset than an exit. If pressure continues, price can still explore lower levels even without mass selling.

The drop came from market mechanics, not a rush for the door. Ownership stayed put. What happens next depends on liquidity and how the market settles once forced selling fades.

Bubblemaps: The top five traders in STBL token trading volume are interconnected and have made profits exceeding $10 million

Bubblemaps: The top five traders in STBL token trading volume are interconnected and have made profits exceeding $10 million

PANews reported on September 18th that blockchain analytics platform Bubblemaps published an article on the X platform claiming that Tether co-founder Reeve Collins had just launched a new token, STBL. However, the top five traders are suspiciously interconnected and have profited over $10 million. Collins launched STBL yesterday, a new stablecoin system built around three tokens: USST (stablecoin), YLD (yield token supporting USST), and STBL (governance token). An analysis of the top five traders by STBL trading volume revealed that these five profit-makers received capital injections at the same time. Tracing the source of their funds revealed a clear connection: the funds all came from the same source (injected via Tornado Cash); bots were used to borrow USDC from the Venus Protocol; and the total profit exceeded $10 million. However, there is no evidence that these traders are connected to the core team. In fact, this group of bots has a history of extracting value from other tokens, not just STBL.
