The projects that attempt to chase the AI wave include an assortment of shapes, but few cover the practical aspect in the same way that Kite does. Having concentrated on ensuring that payments are made to work on behalf of autonomous agents, the platform continues to introduce updates that combine practical utility with market timely moves. The most recent hype revolves around the Bitso listing, which was launched on December 11, 2025, and it opened the largest crypto exchange in Latin America and could attract another influx of users in emerging markets.
It follows a Binance debut in strong fashion earlier in November, in which trading volume reached $263 million during the first few hours of the day, which highlights the role of AI-blockchain mashup that Kite is up.
In the centre of it, Kite is constructing the plumbing of what they refer to the agentic internet, a system in which AI agents are responsible in solving requests, both simple and complicated, without a human being signing off each step.
Stan software which validates itself, transfers value and talks to other bots without any problem. Being an EVM-compatible Layer 1 which maintains the familiarity of developers, it also adds new features such as Proof of Attributed Intelligence, who rewards nodes when they prove the presence of actual AI contributions, and not merely by staking tokens blindly.
This widely accepted form of concurrence takes security to be a productivity of the ecosystem, an intelligent twist of the energy hogs or stake grinds elsewhere.Funding has been a major factor that has led to this. In September 2025, Kite raised an 18-million Series A led by PayPal Ventures and General Catalyst that pushed their overall haul above the number and added partners that get money both inside and outside.
The presence of PayPal is interesting, as they drive into the agentic business, where the combination of trustless compute, self-custody, and real-time throughput offered by Kite can be described as a glove.
This money pour is powering continuing activity, such as the new MiCAR whitepaper, released on November 14 and explores agentic payments in depth those autonomous transfers AI is performing without any supervision.
Market wise, Kite has experienced its ups and downs since its release as the linkage between the decentralization of Web3 and the automation of AI. Strongly opening on Binance with a price of approximately 0.11, it fell to 0.095 at the beginning of the pandemonium, a 13.5 per cent plunge that rattled the nerves of those holding it but also cleared some clatter.
In 2025, average price is estimated to be approximately 0.08028 with the scope of variation including maximum and minimum prices based on the general trends.
Not everything is good news; OKX dropped KITE perpetual futures on December 8, which perhaps strains liquidity in the derivatives but does not hit spot.
Nevertheless, the fully diluted valuation was only about 883 million after its initial launch, which is a good number considering the project was primarily focused on laying infrastructure with long-term gains, rather than with short-term flips.
Getting into the detail of the tech, the design decisions of Kite are logical in the future agent-heavy environment. Unified accounts allow multiple agents to withdraw into shared stablecoin pools with stringent policies, which are inflicted with session keys that serve as temporary access cards with preset limits. This makes it safe and does not disperse the funds in wallets. The chatter is also off-chain in state channels, micro-transactions are aggregated into net settles so as not to congest the network. Oracles also bring in real-world definite info, with evidence, which means agents make steps reliant on solid adaptations whereas cross-chain communications bypass enormous bridges in favor of a direct, attested give up.Reputation systems provide an extra level, tracing agent past using on-chain tick marks that shape agreements such as payment bonds or routing priority. Rewards are given to high performers, and this build ups to form a merit loop where the quality work is rewarded, which results in more work. This is further elaborated in the MiCAR paper, which points out how such properties open up trustless, autonomous economies in which AI agents can brokering deals or renting compute without the chokeholds of Web2 are possible.
The recent CEO discussion on YouTube has decoded the vision to finalize that it involved a separation with centralized constraints and the utilization of blockchain in driving the next step as of AI.
It is kept to earth by tokenomics. Priority operations and staking fees remain paid to $KITE and the revenue obtained by stablecoin buys and burns are used to combat inflation. Mechanisms of supply condition the work to be able to emulate emissions; the active side of the chain is rewarded. This generates natural demand as agent adoption is growing, and everyone is aligned, whether a holder or a builder. The circulation is low in comparison to the total supply which may help the price stability provided the unlocks are implemented without issues.Ecosystem traction gains momentum. The Bitso add will introduce awareness to an area that is eager to create crypto innovations, which will increase volume both in retail and institutions.
A wallet partnership and framework are reducing barriers, and data and compute market modules are attracting devs. The roadmap emphasizes modularity, which allows features to be synched onto the base without making changes to it. Competition with chains integrating AI tools or the traditional market downturns are some of the issues that arise in the market, though the recent interest of payments as the gateway to agent value provides Kite with a competitive advantage. The advantages mentioned by analysts are the AI synergy and venture support, whereas the disadvantages are unlock risks and the requirement of continued delivery.
When agents begin to move real economic weight, the real economic weight-bearing mechanism is that of platforms that manage the flows that general chains neglect.
sails on, with whitepapers, with listing, with laying tracks to be run by machine to an economy. Execution will determine whether $KITE makes new highs, yet the puzzle seems to be that of something notable.#KITE @KITE AI
