Jennifer GhelardiniThe Kaspian 2025 was defined by the Crescendo hard fork, which increased throughput to 10 blocks per second, and the release of the vProgs white paper to ensure shared liquidity across Kaspa L2s. With the base layer stabilized, the ecosystem shifted toward Layer 2s, applications, KRC20 tokens, NFTs, and expanded developer infrastructure.
Kaspa’s recent updates show real momentum, with an early DAGKnight prototype already running core consensus logic. Alongside this, we have a clearer direction on vProgs and an upcoming covenant hard fork. Moreover, early DeFi, oracle, and media applications are on their way!

Binance’s snub of Kaspa leaders sparked a “Bye-Nance” wave even as Kaspa gained media coverage, new projects, and expanding community tools. Moreover, major technical breakthroughs and growing global momentum are accelerating Kaspa’s ecosystem.
Institutional support for crypto is accelerating, with major players like JP Morgan launching a stablecoin, Cash App enabling stablecoin payments, and Franklin Templeton backing stablecoins and RWAs. Companies are integrating digital assets into their economies, and even Harvard tripled its Bitcoin holdings, signaling growing institutional confidence.
