Alright, family! Who has the strong heart to withstand the level 11 volatility of KITE? 🤯 Because the joke here is that this token, which operates in the mega-field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), is about to face an epic battle between its potential of $4.4 trillion dollars and the harsh reality of the crypto market. The dilemma is this: Will the super-mega-Mainnet arrive on time or will the sharks of the Early Investors devour the price? 🦈
Here’s the breakdown so you can understand it as if we were having a coffee:
🚀 The Master Plan of AI: From Easy Rewards to Real Income
Friends, this is the heaviest part of the news. Currently, KITE gives rewards to people with new tokens (pure inflation), but their plan is to change that completely. By the first quarter of 2026 (Mainnet on fire 🔥), the rewards will be tied to the actual income generated by the protocol for its AI services.
The play? If the platform explodes and everyone uses AI agents, 72% of the rewards will come from those fees. This would reduce daily selling pressure (currently $1.8 million of KITE is dumped into the market every day!).
The but... If the developer boom doesn't arrive before that deadline, people holding tokens may panic and sell. Additionally, 48% of the tokens are there, ready for "ecosystem growth," which can create uncertainty if not used properly. Time to pray to the code gods. 🙏
💰 Unlock Alert! The Old Wolves Are Coming for Their Profit
This point is pure risk. 40% of the total KITE supply is in the hands of the team and early investors (those who got on the rocket when the token cost only $0.0033). Remember, the current price is around $0.0981! 📈
The bomb timing? November 2026. From then on, these OGs will be able to start unlocking and selling.
Why does it matter? Even if they sell a little, their profit is so brutal that it could easily exceed the daily trading volume of $121 million. Since KITE is 13% more volatile than Bitcoin (its beta is 1.13), this means the price can go on a wild dance if sales start. 📉
🤖 The Great Hopeful: The Micro-Payments of AI
Here is the future: KITE wants to be the payment channel for AI agents (machines talking to each other) to pay for their services. They are already testing gasless transactions (zero network fees!) and the testnet shows they are doing 40,000 daily transactions!
The burning effect: If this succeeds and reaches a million transactions per day, about 2,000 KITE would be burned in fees. This would give enormous validity to its long-term price target of $0.45. Now that's rocket fuel! ⛽
💡 Reflective Closure
The 2026 of KITE boils down to a race against time: they must prove that their real use in AI payments is a success before the big investors start to release their tokens. Will the mainnet be able to launch with more than 500,000 daily transactions in the first quarter? The answer to that question will define whether KITE is the next powerhouse of AI or just another volatile promise. Which side do you bet on: innovation or profit-taking?
