$KAITO Frenzy: $54.8M Pledged as Institutions Pick Their Side in the Airdrop War

The airdrop battlefield just got real—and $KAITO is at the heart of it.

With $54.82 million worth of KAITO now locked into the platform’s staking contract, it's clear which path most whales and institutions are taking: stake, not shill. While the airdrop has two options—"mouth push" (promotional effort) and "staking"—big money has made its choice loud and clear.

Take wallet 0xF11...a6a24, for example. It's likely tied to Selini Capital and has staked 3.59 million KAITO (~$6.89M) since April 16. That’s already up $2.7M in floating profit.

Another player, 0xB8C...dC1dc, has multiple ties with Continue Capital and staked $3.99M worth of KAITO just days ago on May 30.

And why all the sudden action?

The answer might lie in the Kaito Pre-TGE Arena rankings, where top-tier projects like Infinex, Newton, and Humanity Protocol are leading the charge—and all three have confirmed that airdrops will go to Kaito Yappers and stakers.

Here are the current Top 5 in the Arena:

Infinex (@infinex) – On-chain application aggregator, born from the Synthetix ecosystem

Newton (@MagicNewton) – Cross-chain network backed by Polygon and PayPal-funded Magic Labs

Opensea (@opensea) – The OG NFT marketplace, still teasing a token

Humanity Protocol (@Humanityprot) – Sybil-resistant identity protocol with privacy-first design

Monad (@monad_xyz) – Ultra-high-performance L1 backed by Paradigm, Dragonfly, and Coinbase Ventures

The competition is heating up—and if this momentum keeps building, KAITO staking may become the new meta for airdrop farming.
