As of December 21, 2025, the AI agent sector is heating up, and @GoKiteAI's $KITE is solidly positioned among the leaders. Recent data shows $KITE holding strong in the top 5 AI agent tokens by market cap at approximately $165M—up nearly 10% in the past week while many peers declined.
This performance underscores Kite's real-world traction as the first AI payment blockchain. Built EVM-compatible with Avalanche subnets for high throughput, Kite delivers:
KitePass: Cryptographic passports providing verifiable identities for agents, models, datasets, and services—enabling provenance, delegation, and portable reputation.
Native x402 Support: Coinbase's standard for agent payments, allowing intents, retries, and seamless machine-to-machine commerce.
State Channels: Scalable micropayments in stablecoins (USDC/PYUSD) at sub-cent costs and <100ms latency—perfect for high-frequency agent interactions.
Proof of Artificial Intelligence (PoAI): Consensus rewarding verifiable AI contributions, aligning security with intelligence.
Since the November 2025 TGE and Binance listing, backed by $33M+ from PayPal Ventures, General Catalyst, Coinbase Ventures, and others, the ex-Databricks/Uber team has executed relentlessly. Ecosystem growth includes millions of agent passports minted, builder modules deployed, and partnerships expanding cross-chain capabilities.
With total supply capped at 10B (circulating ~1.8B), $KITE captures value through staking, governance, liquidity locks, and access—fueling the shift to autonomous agents handling bookings, trades, and more.
The agentic economy is accelerating into 2026. @KITE AI is the infrastructure powering it. Kiters, we're flying higher! 🪁🚀 #KITE
