I’ve been watching the AI–blockchain crossover since the ASI Alliance formed back in mid-2024. A lot of projects made big promises but didn’t deliver much. Kite AI, on the other hand, seems to have hit that point where the “experiment” finally turns into real infrastructure.
As December 6, 2025 comes to a close, Bitcoin is holding around $93K, and most altcoins are still struggling after a -9.6% week caused by Fed-related fear. But in the middle of all that noise, Kite just keeps shipping.
The x402 SDK beta officially dropped on December 4—giving devs plug-and-play tools to build agent-driven micropayment systems for royalties, revenue splits, and delegated spending that settle instantly. And just before that, on December 2, the first Meta data-provenance pilots quietly hit testnet.
The market has reacted, but not with over-the-top hype. $KITE is trading around $0.0988, up 0.25% with $62.9M daily volume. It’s still -28.75% below the November ATH of $0.1387, but also +61% from the $0.06123 bottom—putting it at a $178M market cap (rank #176) with 1.8B tokens circulating out of 10B.
After last month’s Binance Launchpool event and its 150M token rewards, the attention has shifted from “farm and dump” to real utility. Ozone testnet users are now moving over to mainnet LRT staking with 8–12% yields. Plus, during the December 5 AMA, the team teased Q1 2026 agent-history dashboards—letting users see every verified action an AI agent takes on-chain.
AI tokens may feel exhausted—CMC’s December 2 report even called the sector “narratively tired.”
Kite’s response? Build, don’t brag. Deliver real infrastructure instead of hype cycles.
