- Kaspa’s price climbed above $0.048 following a modest upward move.
- The token is scheduled for listing on HTX, formerly known as Huobi.
- Technical indicators point to potential continuation of the rally.
Kaspa (KAS) emerged as one of the stronger performers on the crypto market on Monday, December 22, 2025, with its 24-hour price gain exceeding 6%, pushing the token above $0.048.
This advance, which follows HTX’s recent listing announcement, highlights a broader recovery among proof-of-work tokens and brings KAS toward a key resistance area around $0.05.
Bulls gained ground after the token rebounded from a December 18 low of $0.040.
Notably, KAS’s gains outpaced the rally in Bitcoin above $89,000 and Ether reclaiming the $3,000 level.
But can buyers sustain momentum amid ongoing market volatility?
Price gains ahead of HTX listing
Kaspa’s price jumped by nearly 9% from its recent weekly low to around $0.048, mirroring Bitcoin’s recovery from last week’s lows.
However, much of KAS’s latest momentum can be attributed to expectation around its spot trading debut on HTX.

The crypto exchange, previously known as Huobi, plans to list the altcoin this week.
While not a brand-new revelation, the listing could boost liquidity and accessibility for traders worldwide.
Kaspa’s price rise reflects buyer anticipation that HTX’s broad user base will increase trading volume and exposure for KAS.
Over the past week KAS climbed about 8%, outperforming many rivals.
Meanwhile, 24-hour trading volume surged 109% to more than $33 million, signaling bullish interest after a period of consolidation across the market.
Kaspa’s unique blockDAG architecture continues to draw long-term investors, and the HTX listing aligns with ongoing ecosystem growth and integrations.
KAS price outlook
Kaspa has been in a downtrend since peaking near $0.20 in July 2024.
The year-to-date highs sit around $0.12, reached by bulls in May 2025.
At roughly $0.048, the token remains well below those recent highs.
Bears could still pressure the price and attempt to push it below current support levels.
For bulls, a positive development was the sharp rebound from an October 10, 2025 low of $0.009, which occurred amid a broader Bitcoin sell-off.
From a technical standpoint, Kaspa shows signs of a bullish reversal.
A potential breakout above the descending trendline on the daily chart could propel KAS past the $0.05 level.
If bulls sustain momentum and reclaim $0.081, the next target zone could be $0.10. In a stronger short-term rally, the previous high of $0.207 might come into reach.
RSI is no longer in overbought territory and is trending upward, which reduces immediate downside risk.
Meanwhile, the MACD indicates a possible bullish crossover forming.
Upcoming protocol updates like Crescendo and generally bullish conditions in early 2026 could support further gains.
Over the longer term, key milestones to watch are $0.50 and $1.00.
