Kaito is becoming the new Binance.

People used to get hyped for a tier 1 exchange listing.

During AI season everyone pestered Coinbase to list Virtuals.

But now, Kaito has become the kingmaker for attention.

Loudio partners with Kaito and they jump to the top of the mindshare board and 600 people have a call with @0x_ultra in one day.

Similarly Hyperliquid fills this role too.

The team made it clear that they are too small to build out the entire ecosystem themselves and they want billion-dollar protocols being built by other teams.

Things like Unit that appear to be closer to the team then get a lot of attention and implicit trust.
