- Kaspa’s price has risen slightly above $0.048.
- The token is scheduled for listing on HTX (formerly Huobi).
- Technical indicators suggest the potential for continued bullish momentum.
Kaspa (KAS) emerged as one of the top performers in the crypto market on Monday, December 22, 2025, with its price jumping more than 6% over 24 hours and climbing above $0.048.
This uptick coincided with HTX’s announcement of a forthcoming listing and points to the proof-of-work token pushing toward an important resistance level near $0.05.
The rally builds on a low of $0.040 reached on December 18, and reflects renewed buying interest in the token.
Notably, KAS’s gains outpaced broader market benchmarks such as Bitcoin’s recovery above $89,000 and Ethereum’s rebound toward $3,000.
Still, the question remains whether bulls can hold their ground amid wider market volatility.
Price rise ahead of HTX listing
Kaspa’s price has climbed roughly 9% from the recent weekly low and is trading around $0.048.
This advance aligns with a bounce seen following last week’s pullback in Bitcoin.
However, much of KAS’s momentum can be attributed to growing expectations around its spot trading debut on HTX.

The crypto exchange, formerly known as Huobi, plans to list the altcoin this week. While not a brand-new development, the listing could improve liquidity and access for traders worldwide.
Buyers expect HTX’s large user base to drive increased trading volume and greater exposure for KAS.
Over the past week, KAS has gained about 8%, outperforming many peers.
Meanwhile, trading volume surged 109% over the last 24 hours to exceed $33 million, reflecting renewed bullish interest as price volatility has contracted and the market consolidates.
Kaspa’s distinctive blockDAG architecture continues to attract long-term investors, and an HTX listing aligns with further ecosystem growth and integration.
KAS price outlook
Kaspa’s price trended down from highs near $0.20 in July 2024 and reached a year-to-date peak of $0.12 in May 2025, achieved by bulls.
At roughly $0.048 today, the token’s value remains well below those recent highs, leaving room for both bears hoping for a pullback and bulls anticipating renewed gains.
Positive context for buyers includes a rapid recovery after a sharp Bitcoin-driven drop on October 10, 2025, when KAS briefly touched $0.009 before rebounding.
From a technical perspective, Kaspa is showing signs of a bullish reversal setup.
According to the daily chart, a breakout above the descending trendline could clear the way for KAS to trade above $0.05.
If bulls can hold momentum and reclaim $0.081, the next resistance zone near $0.10 could come into view, with the token’s all-time high near $0.207 remaining a longer-term target.
The RSI has moved out of overbought territory and is trending upward, reducing immediate downside risk, while the MACD is hinting at a bullish crossover.
Potential upgrades to the Crescendo protocol and other bullish developments could help sustain gains into Q1 2026.
Over the long term, psychological targets at $0.50 and $1.00 represent meaningful milestones for Kaspa, though reaching them would depend on sustained adoption, liquidity, and favorable market conditions.
