Gaming Launch Fuels 41% Rally

2 min read
  • Kaia surged 41% as traders reacted positively to strong volume and fresh ecosystem momentum.
  • Magic Squad’s launch boosted real on-chain activity through gaming and gas-free user transactions.
  • RSI near 70 and bullish MACD suggest strong buying momentum for Kaia.

Kaia (KAIA) recorded a sharp rally, rising more than 41% in 24 hours, even as the broader cryptocurrency market remained largely unchanged.

The price surge was backed by a strong jump in trading volume to above $125 million, a strong signal that the move is being driven by real buying interest rather than short-term speculation.

Several factors appear to be coming together to fuel KAIA’s breakout.

Gaming Launch Drives Real On-Chain Activity

The catalyst behind the rally is the launch of “Magic Squad,” a hybrid Web3 game developed by Metabora Games.

The game went live on the Dapp Portal operated by Line Next, which is integrated with the Kaia blockchain.

What makes this launch important is usability. Players can make in-game purchases using crypto without needing to hold KAIA for transaction fees, thanks to Kaia’s gas abstraction feature. This lowers friction for new users and supports higher transaction volumes on the network.

Regulatory and Ecosystem Progress Adds Confidence

Beyond today’s headlines, Kaia has benefited from steady ecosystem development over recent days.

  • Network upgrades that improved efficiency and validator incentives
  • Approval for USDT usage on Kaia under Abu Dhabi Global Market
  • Expansion into Southeast Asia, with USDT on Kaia now live on Bitazza, enabling faster settlements in one of the region’s active digital asset markets

Kaia Builds Ecosystem as Technical Indicators Turn Bullish

Kaia is also positioning itself in areas such as real-world asset tokenization, AI-driven applications, and institutional-grade stablecoin infrastructure, including efforts to bring the Korean won onchain through regional partnerships.

Technical indicators such as the RSI and MACD point to a bullish outlook for Kaia. The RSI stands at 69.74, signaling strong buying momentum and approaching overbought territory, while the MACD line remains above the signal line with green histograms, reinforcing the bullish trend.

Shibarium May No Longer Turbocharge Shiba Inu Price Rally, Here’s Reason

The post Shibarium May No Longer Turbocharge Shiba Inu Price Rally, Here’s Reason appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shibarium, the layer-2 blockchain of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem, is battling to stay active. Shibarium has slipped from hitting transaction milestones to struggling to record any transactions on its platform, a development that could severely impact SHIB. Shibarium transactions crash from millions to near zero As per Shibariumscan data, the total daily transactions on Shibarium as of Sept. 16 stood at 11,600. This volume of transactions reflects how low the transaction count has dropped for the L2, whose daily average ranged between 3.5 million and 4 million last month. However, in the last week of August, daily transaction volume on Shibarium lost momentum, slipping from 1.3 million to 9,590 as of Aug. 28. This pattern has lingered for much of September, with the highest peak so far being on Sept. 5, when it posted 1.26 million transactions. The low user engagement has greatly affected the transaction count in recent days. In addition, the security breach over the weekend by malicious attackers on Shibarium has probably worsened issues. Although developer Kaal Dhairya reassured the community that the attack to steal millions of BONE tokens was successfully prevented, users’ confidence appears shaken. This has also impacted the price outlook for Shiba Inu, the ecosystem’s native token. Following reports of the malicious attack on Shibarium, SHIB dipped immediately into the red zone. Unlike on previous occasions where investors accumulated on the dip, market participants did not flock to Shiba Inu. Shiba Inu price struggles, can burn mechanism help? With the current near-zero crash in transaction volume for Shibarium, SHIB’s price cannot depend on it to support a rally. It might take a while to rebuild user confidence and for transactions to pick up again. In the meantime, Shiba Inu might have to rely on other means to boost prices from its low levels. This…

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.
