Kaspa price and where to buy KAS

What is Kaspa?

Kaspa is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency built on a block DAG: instead of a single chain where competing blocks are discarded, parallel blocks are all kept and ordered, which lets it produce several blocks per second. It launched without a premine or allocation to insiders, and its supply is capped at about 28.7 billion KAS.

How to buy Kaspa, step by step

1. Pick an exchange. KAS is listed on two of the five exchanges we track. Compare fees, funding options and whether it serves your country in our exchange reviews.
2. Create and verify your account. Regulated exchanges ask for identity documents before you can deposit fiat.
3. Fund the account. A bank transfer or a stablecoin deposit usually costs far less than a card payment.
4. Buy KAS. Use the KAS/USDT or KAS/USD market, and check the cheapest venue in the table above first.
5. Decide where to keep it. On the exchange is simplest, but the exchange then holds your coins. KAS runs on its own network; withdraw only to a Kaspa address.

Where to buy Kaspa at the best price

The table above shows both exchanges we track that list KAS. With only two venues, the trading fee and the funding method usually matter more than the price difference between them.

• The price on that venue. Each row shows the gap to our composite.
• The trading fee. Our fee comparison lists spot fees side by side.
• How you fund the account. A bank transfer or stablecoin deposit is usually far cheaper than a card payment, which often costs several percent.

Why the Kaspa price differs between exchanges

KAS trades on only two of the exchanges we track, so our cross-venue gap for it rests on a single comparison and says little. About seven tenths of the KAS spot volume we track trades on a single venue. Our guide on why crypto prices differ between exchanges explains the mechanism.

What moves the Kaspa price

The wider crypto market, and in KAS’s case its own news too. In our hourly composite, KAS moved with Bitcoin at a correlation of about 0.49, where 1 would mean identical moves, and its moves were almost three times the size of Bitcoin’s.

KAS-specific drivers come on top: mining economics, new exchange listings and leverage. The funding rates on this page show whether leveraged traders are paying to be long or short right now.
