Today, the KAS token of the Kaspa project gained 10.65 percent or up to $0.09743, with a current market cap of $2.58 billion, positioning this cryptocurrency at 42nd place in the world ranking. It is driven by the expectation of its smart contract launch on August 31, 2025, and vigorous network activity, and the trading volume increased by 40.14% to $110.8 million. The discussions on X are highly optimistic, with certain reports indicating that Kaspa will revolutionize scalability within blockchain.

Smart Contract Launch Raises Hopes

Both integration of smart contracts (slated to be introduced next) and substantial developer demand (the DEX testnet on Kaspa has already registered 4.8 million swaps) augur well. With this achievement, Kaspa is poised to compete with leading blockchains, offering decentralized apps. Among the analysts, institutional investors are also accumulating KAS, hoping that it will break the price to over 0.10, with the potential of reaching as high as 0.118 given the increasing whale activity before launching.

Network Activity Surges

The blockchain Trilemma, which impedes widespread adoption, speed, security, and decentralization, is being addressed by Kaspa BlockDAG technology. Daily payments reached 1.02 million and 510,000 unique active addresses, which boasts of exploding growth. On July 31, the network processed 1 million transactions, its fastest in 90 days, demonstrating greater scalability than its real competitors, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. This performance is the basis of the bullish run that KAS experiences.

TA Indicates Strength

Technical indicators back the rally, and KAS has penetrated the resistance level of $0.096. The RSI of 50.78 indicates that the momentum is even among the assets, with little opportunity to become overbought. A near close above 0.10 may ignite a reaction towards 0.120, and there is support at 0.090. Analysts caution that a decline of the price below 0.087 may challenge 0.080; however, the trends seem to be supporting bulls.

Institutional and Community Support

The institutional interest is increasing, and whales are building up behind-the-scenes stacks of KAS, which was remarked upon in recent analyses. Those on X are buzzing about it with some forecasting KAS might reach $1 following the launch of the smart contract, primarily because of its unusual capability to process high amounts of transactions whilst maintaining its decentralized nature. The skeptics, however, argue that recent price stagnation may diminish short-term upside potential and that risk management is effectively abridged in the short term.

Market Outlook & Market Metrics

Kaspa has a total and circulating supply of 26.57 billion KAS, which is also its maximum supply, providing scarcity similar to that of Bitcoin. It is fully diluted at 279 million, and its volume to market cap ratio is at 4.28 percent, inferring good liquidity. The network’s capability to support light-speed transactions demonstrates its status as a frontrunner in blockchain development, thereby attracting long-term investors.

Freeze and Price Forecasts

Even with the optimism, some traders cautioned on a possible pullback if KAS can no longer maintain above the 0.10 level. The increasing wedge formation is an indication of a potential downside correction of up to 0.080 in case of any bear pressure. However, a positive outlook prevails, with price predictions for August 2025 ranging from $0.10 to $0.15. Some experts even anticipate a price of $0.27 by the end of 2025, assuming increased adoption of smart contracts.

Distinctness of Kaspa

Kaspa is different because it is unfazed by stress that paralyzes other blockchains, such as low block times and high fees. Its proof-of-work consensus and BlockDAG enable security and scalability, so it is an attractive alternative to Ethereum and Solana. Kaspa has the potential to experience new highs in DeFi and NFT activity as smart contracts become live and KAS becomes more in demand.

KAS Future Trajectory

Moving forward, the future of Kaspa depends on its smart contract launch and whether it will be listed on any exchanges, with rumors of it being added to Binance floating around. Analysts are optimistic on either front, with one claiming $1 to be reached by 2026, provided it is adopted. With a solid technical foundation and an ever-expanding ecosystem, Kaspa is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for scalable blockchain technologies in 2025.

The native token of Mt. MNT has a price that has risen by 8.71 percent in the last 24 hours and is currently pegged at US$1.10 with a market capitalization of US$3.72 billion, making it the 34th largest cryptocurrency. The rally is fuelled by substantial network expansion, wherein trading volume stood at 0.455.94 million, which is an increase of 5.4 percent. On X, people are very enthusiastic, and the posts are doing well due to Mantle, their progress in decentralized finance, and the upcoming launch of the neobank UR.

Ecosystem Growth Drives the Momentum

This price rise is accompanied by the enormous progress within the Mantle ecosystem and most importantly the upcoming conclusion of the beta version of UR a blockchain-enabled neobank which is set to launch in Q3 2025. The possibility of multi-currency accounts and Mastercard debit cards proposed by UR has created optimism among investors, and Mantle stands out as a liaison between traditional finance and DeFi. The overall value locked in the network has reached a mark of $378.86 million, showing the increasing popularity of the network in layer-2.

Surge of Stablecoin and Institutional Confidence

The market capitalization of Mantle stablecoin has reached the mark of 653.51 million which is an increase of 22.85 over the previous week, indicating a high level of inflows of liquidity. The deposit of 101,867 ETH, worth $388 million, into the Strategic ETH Reserve further increases investor confidence. X posts point out that the number of active addresses per day on Mantle has increased 20x in the last month, indicating increased user activity and network traffic.

The Technicals are Bullish

Technical reading shows we have a bullish engulfing pattern on the 7-day chart of MNT, indicating a steady price increase. The resistance at $0.85 has been breached, and the token is currently being tested at $1.10. Analysts are observing a possible migration to the $1.30 mark. An overbought situation at RSI level 75.61 warns of a potential temporary retracement. Yet, the MACD continues to show a golden cross to suggest that Mantle is still bearish in terms of price action.

DeFi and RWA Narratives Amplify Interest

Mantle has attracted significant attention for its focus on tokenizing real-world assets and integrating with DeFi. The DeFi protocol of the ecosystem, Pendle, re-joined the top 10 of the TVL rankings on the DeFiLlama website, which is almost close to all new records. When combined with the fact that Bybit has announced synergy with Mantle Network 2.0, this will create additional appeal to the platform, stoking both retail and institutional interest in the long-term potential of MNT.

Possible Problems and Price Objectives

Nevertheless, with so much bullishness around, confident analysts are cautious as they predict a potential correction of MNT based on the rising wedge pattern on the daily chart. In case a bearish momentum is formed, the pricing may test levels at 0.9290 and 0.8540. Nevertheless, a rally over the resistance level of $1.1050 would move MNT to $1.21 and possibly as high as $1.30. The outlook on the long term is favorable as predictions indicate that MNT may hit the mark of 2.31 by the end of the year.

Mantle Strategic Positioning

The circulating supply of 3.36 billion MNT and a total supply of 6.21 billion are similar to the fully diluted assessments of Mantle in 6.87 billion. The network is experiencing growing adoption, with 24,760 holders and an acceptable liquidity of 12.24 percent of the volume-to-market-cap ratio. Being a layer-2 protocol on Ethereum and specializing in a banking-centric infrastructure, Mantle is a significant part of the crypto market today.

MNT Perspectives

Experts are optimistic about the future of Mantle, and analysts disagree on whether to expect it to reach a price between 0.9835 and 1.37 dollars by August 2025. This increases the long-term prospects of the network as it has sustained new users with 130,000 daily active users of the network and its strategic ETH treasury. Since Mantle is recreating the connection between DeFi and conventional finance, MNT will sustain its positive trend with a new high as a possible objective in 2025.
