Kaito AI has allocated approximately 20% of its total token supply for future airdrops and incentives, sparking significant interest within the crypto community. However, this move has also raised concerns regarding insider allocations and potential sell-off pressure.
Following the airdrop announcement, Binance officially announced the listing of Kaito (KAITO) token on February 20. After being listed on Binance, KAITO surged to the $1 level.
Airdrop and Token Allocation
Positioning itself as the “ultimate Web3 information platform,” Kaito AI is gearing up for its first airdrop event. In this phase, 10% of the total supply has been allocated to early community members and ecosystem participants.
On February 20, the platform shared the following statement on X:
“Initial Community and Ecosystem Claim – 10%. This allocation includes the initial Kaito Yapper community, Genesis NFT holders, and ecosystem partners.”
Additionally, 56.6% of the total supply is allocated to the community and ecosystem, with 19.5% specifically reserved for long-term airdrops and incentives.
Binance Listing and Price Movement
Binance listed KAITO with the KAITO/USDT, KAITO/BTC, and KAITO/ETH trading pairs, leading to a rapid price surge to $1.

While a Binance listing often boosts a project’s liquidity, initial selling pressure is common, especially for airdrop-based projects.
Tokenomics Concerns and Sell-Off Pressure!
Some analysts believe that the large insider allocation in the tokenomics could lead to selling pressure after the airdrop. Marcin Kazmierczak, co-founder of RedStone, a blockchain oracle firm, highlighted Kaito’s impact on the crypto marketing industry:
“I don’t know a single serious crypto marketer who doesn’t use Kaito’s stack. Previously, marketing was all about views and impressions. However, Kaito introduced a new metric, ‘Smart Followers,’ which allows tracking how many respected or active crypto accounts interacted with or followed a specific account.”
However, on-chain investigator RunnerXBT revealed that 43.3% of the total supply is allocated to insiders, including 35% to the team and 8.3% to early investors. This raises concerns about the long-term price movement of the token.
Will KAITO Face a Major Sell-Off?
Kaito AI’s tokenomics and insider allocations have sparked debates regarding potential sell-off risks post-airdrop. However, with Binance listing, KAITO has reached $1, and its long-term performance will depend on community support and project development.
