  • KAITO’s airdrop saw heavy sell pressure, with top claimers dumping millions in tokens.
  • Over 76% of users reduced their holdings, showing low confidence in the token’s long-term value.
  • KAITO’s future depends on rebuilding trust, but unclaimed tokens could still drive prices lower.

Unlike hyped-up airdrops like Berachain and Pi Network, which were years in the making, KAITO’s token drop came out of nowhere—catching many users off guard. Launched by the crypto analytics platform of the same name, KAITO hit the market with high expectations, but things quickly took a bearish turn.

JUST IN: $KAITO (@KaitoAI) is up 100% over the last few hours despite CT influencers openly admitting to dumping their airdrop 👀

Mass Sell-Off—Biggest Holders Dump Their Bags

On-chain data paints a grim picture. The top claimers cashed out fast, creating strong selling pressure and a wave of bearish sentiment.

  • 12 biggest claimers got ~$2.1 million worth of KAITO
  • 10 of them sold at least some of their holdings
  • 7 fully exited, leaving almost nothing behind

Only 3 wallets chose to stake their tokens, signaling hesitation about long-term potential. The pattern suggests that big players saw this as a quick flip—not a long-term hold.

Most Claimers Are Reducing Exposure

Zooming out, the broader on-chain activity tells a similar story:

  • 76.7% of claimers now hold fewer KAITO tokens than they started with
  • 22% didn’t touch their allocation—strong conviction holders
  • Just 1.3% actually increased their holdings

That tiny accumulation rate combined with heavy sell pressure? Not a great sign. It hints that KAITO’s tokenomics and airdrop mechanics may have hurt investor confidence.

Can KAITO Recover or Is It Headed Lower?

If KAITO manages to rebuild trust and deliver on its vision of tokenizing social media content through AI, its price might bounce back from recent lows.

But it’s an uphill battle. The token got hammered right after launch—just like Berachain’s airdrop. If sentiment improves, KAITO could push toward $1.50, maybe even $2.

On the flip side…

If the sell pressure keeps up—especially since less than 30% of KAITO’s total supply has even been claimed yet—more tokens could flood the market, driving the price down further.

Key Support Levels to Watch:

  • $0.89—If it holds, KAITO has a chance to stabilize.
  • $0.80 – $0.70—If selling continues, a deeper drop is on the table.

For now, KAITO sits at a crossroads—either it turns things around, or it becomes just another airdrop that flopped.
