Kaito AI’s token has experienced a significant 50% surge following its airdrop on February 20, 2025, defying initial concerns over its tokenomics and insider allocations. The token is currently trading at $1.69, with a market capitalization exceeding $421 million.
The airdrop distributed 10% of Kaito’s total token supply to early community members and ecosystem participants. Despite apprehensions about potential sell-offs due to insider allocations—43.3% of the supply designated for team members and early investors—the token’s value has risen substantially.
Notably, several prominent crypto influencers, including Ansem and Anthony Sassano, liquidated their Kaito holdings shortly after the airdrop. Ansem sold approximately $230,000 worth of tokens, while Sassano offloaded around $185,000. Despite this selling pressure, the token maintained its upward trajectory.
The introduction of a staking feature offering an annual percentage rate of 53.6% has further bolstered investor interest. This rate surpasses returns from traditional assets, contributing to the token’s appeal.
