Kaspa founder Yonatan Sompolinsky stated today on X that he declined an invitation to a Binance event in Dubai, arguing that current listing practices overlook cypherpunk-aligned projects. His comments follow community debate after Binance listed several meme tokens while still not listing Kaspa (KAS), despite its recent entry into the top 20 by market cap.
Listing Criteria Debate
Sompolinsky said that large exchanges shape market sentiment and argued that cypherpunk-driven projects deserve different listing criteria than speculative or commercial tokens. Kaspa’s supporters highlight the project’s fair-launch model, PoW consensus with GHOSTDAG, and active developer ecosystem as differentiators in a market often dominated by hype assets.
Community Outlook
The Kaspa community is now watching whether Binance responds or adjusts its listing framework. No timeline has been given for a potential KAS listing or further dialogue between the parties.
