As part of that, several major crypto exchanges began or announced plans to delist KDA or suspend trading/deposits, which hurts liquidity and investor access. �

⚠️ Why it matters
Team & development backup: In crypto projects, the ongoing activity of the team matters a lot. With the foundation shutting down, there’s no guarantee the project will continue evolving or competing.
Liquidity & exchange support: Delistings reduce the ease of trading and may shrink the pool of buyers — which often leads to deeper price declines.
Ecosystem growth risk: Without fresh investments, developer interest, partnerships, etc., user adoption and growth may slow or stall entirely.
Token value question: If the ecosystem has little momentum, many holders may choose to exit — which increases supply-side pressure and drives price down further.
Market sentiment: Crypto markets are highly confidence-driven. A negative signal like this tends to cause cascading selling, especially for smaller tokens.
🔍 What this means for KDA
The drop you observed (~31% as per your screenshot) is consistent with the broader reported crash of KDA after the shutdown news.
The future of KDA is now very speculative: while technically the network might run, its growth prospects and ecosystem health are uncertain.
For anyone holding KDA: this is a high-risk scenario. The project is no longer backed by its original business team, making recovery far less probable unless a capable community/DAO steps in.
Because of delistings, trading access might become more limited, which can amplify price volatility.
🧭 What to watch
Whether a community takeover or DAO formation emerges to maintain or revive the project.
Mining / network activity data — if the chain begins to stagnate it could degrade value further.
Announcements from exchanges about further delistings, suspensions, or withdrawal limits.
Any major investor or developer movement away from the token.
General crypto market conditions (bearish environment makes recovery harder).
