KAITO Project Overview

Kaito was founded in 2022 by former Citadel hedge fund manager Yu Hu and has successfully completed two rounds of financing. Compared to traditional search engines, Kaito offers a more comprehensive information retrieval capability, leveraging artificial intelligence to redefine how users access and interact with on-chain data.

The core products of the project include Kaito Pro, Kaito Yaps, and Kaito Connect, which utilize AI technology to aggregate, analyze, and process multi-channel cryptocurrency data, providing accurate market insights and decision support for investors, researchers, and other users with deep needs.

In addition, Kaito issued its native token $KAITO and officially launched on mainstream exchanges such as Gate.io on February 20, 2025, serving as a trading medium and governance tool within the platform, empowering the ecosystem operation, and providing users with more interactive ways.

$KAITO Market Performance

Currently, the $KAITO token has been online for nearly a month, and the price quickly rose to the range of 2.5 - 3.0 US dollars in the early stage. After entering March, the price began to oscillate and consolidate. It may be that some investors concentrated on selling their profits, causing a sharp decline in the price of $KAITO, falling to around 1.5 US dollars in a short period of time. After March 4th, $KAITO entered a sideways consolidation phase, with price fluctuations narrowing and trading in the range of 1.3 - 1.6 US dollars.

As of writing on March 15, the latest price of $KAITO is $1.4337, with a fully diluted market value of $14.44 billion, 94,000 holders, and the current market sentiment is cautious. Short-term attention can be paid to the breakthrough of $1.3 support and $1.5 resistance.

$KAITO Risk Warning

On March 15th, Gate AI announced on the X platform that its founder Yu Hu and the official Gate account were hacked, but the KAITO token wallet was not affected. The team stated that the attacker took advantage of Yu Hu’s rest period to carry out the intrusion. The technical team has successfully restored account access and initiated a thorough investigation to determine the specific source of the security vulnerability.

It is worth noting that, just before this incident occurred, Kaito AI had warned of abnormal activities in multiple related wallets and pointed out that the supply of some tokens may be affected, sparking market concerns about the security of the KAITO ecosystem.

In addition, the cryptocurrency market itself is highly volatile, and the KAITO token also faces uncertainty brought by market sentiment and macroeconomic environment changes. Therefore, investors should fully assess the potential risks and adopt reasonable risk management strategies when considering holding or trading KAITO tokens.

Conclusion

As an AI-empowered project in the Web3 field, KAITO AI occupies a unique position in the crypto market with its innovative information retrieval and data analysis capabilities. However, its token price has recently experienced significant fluctuations and has been affected by security incidents, with market sentiment still in the recovery phase. In the future, the price trend of $KAITO will mainly depend on user stickiness on the platform, optimization of AI technology, the implementation of ecological applications, and the overall environment of the crypto market. In the face of the uncertainty of the crypto market, reasonable risk management is still the key to investment. It is recommended that investors adjust their positions in a timely manner in response to market changes.
