A fixed 9.6 KAIA every block. Burns take back little.
KAIA runs Kaia, the chain formed from Kakao's Klaytn and LINE's Finschia: 6.45B coins circulate, nearly all unlocked. Every block mints a fixed 9.6 new KAIA.
Sell pressure. That mint is the only new supply: 74.61M KAIA in 90 days, shared by stakers and two Foundation funds. Nothing vests, and fund spending stays inside the float.
Buy pressure. Half of every fee is burned (126.6K KAIA). Unpaid contribution rewards add burns of about 7.34M KAIA from Oct 21 2026.
Net. Net, supply grows 1.16% in 90 days and about 1.04% next.
Every block mints a fixed 9.6 new KAIA, and Kaia makes about one block a second. In these 90 days that was 7.77M blocks and 74,613,456 new KAIA. Stakers get 40% of it, the Kaia Ecosystem Fund and the Kaia Infrastructure Fund 25% each, and the new contribution reward pool 10%. There is no cap and no halving.
No KAIA is waiting to vest. Almost the whole supply already counts as circulating (only about 140K KAIA sits outside it), and unlock trackers show no release event in the next 90 days.
The funds hold large balances: the Kaia Ecosystem Fund about 163.49M KAIA, the Kaia Infrastructure Fund about 62.50M plus 10.59M in its spending wallet, and the contribution reward pool 7.35M. The Infrastructure Fund moved 20M KAIA to its spending wallet on Sep 2 2026. All of these wallets already count as circulating, so their spending adds no new supply; the new coins they receive are counted once, in row 1.
No bankruptcy estate, trustee or long lock is releasing KAIA.
Nothing buys KAIA back today. The Kaia Foundation calls a fee-funded buyback and burn a later goal, with no date.
Half of every transaction fee is destroyed. Over the 90 days that came to 126,587 KAIA, about 1,400 a day — less than 0.2% of the new coins. The forward figure keeps the same rate.
No fund or Foundation wallet bought KAIA in this window; the funds only receive new coins and spend them.
KAIA can be staked, and the contribution reward asks users to stake 10 KAIA for every 1 USDT they deposit. Staked KAIA still counts as circulating, so a bigger stake takes nothing out of the float.
Since Jul 23 2026 a tenth of each block's new KAIA goes to a contribution reward pool, about 2.5M a month. Only a small part is earned: 36,421 KAIA in the first month and 58,433 in the second. The rest is burned in batches: 2,463,579 KAIA on Oct 21 2026, 2,441,567 on Nov 21 2026, and about 2.43M on Dec 21 2026. Nothing was burned yet in the last 90 days, so this row counts only in the next 90 days.
Two sides: how much people want KAIA right now, and how much buying could come later.
It shows how hot KAIA is right now. A better rank means more people are talking about it.
Today, people are talking about KAIA for two reasons:
On Oct 23 2026, Hana Financial Group and Dunamu, the company behind Upbit, started a test that links Upbit to Kaia Wallet for paying with USDT, USDC and the yen coin JPYC. Hana Card also takes part, and Dunamu's tech unit is connecting the Kaia chain to Hana's foreign exchange systems. People ask whether this test could turn into real payments in Korea.
KAIA fell about 9% on Oct 22 2026 on Upbit, to about 51 won, and is down about 16% since Oct 15 2026. Much of the excitement from its Upbit won listing in early October has faded. People ask whether the new payment test can bring buyers back.
Checked Oct 23 2026
As of Oct 20 2026, KAIA supply moves +1.04% in 90 days and +4.23% in a year, so KAIA is inflationary. New KAIA outweighs what is burned or bought back.
KAIA supply grows +4.23% over the next 12 months and +1.04% over the next 90 days (checked Oct 20 2026). That puts KAIA #49 of 101 coins we track for new supply (#1 = the most new supply).
No dated KAIA unlock is scheduled in the next 90 days (checked Oct 20 2026). New KAIA still arrives: about 74.6M KAIA in 90 days.
Yes. In our count, about 7.47M KAIA is expected to leave the market over the next 90 days through burns, buybacks or locks (checked Oct 20 2026). How it works: Half of each fee is burned: 126.6K KAIA in 90 days. Unpaid contribution rewards burn on Oct 21, Nov 21 and Dec 21 2026, about 7.34M KAIA in all; no buyback.
In our count, about 74.6M new KAIA reaches the market over the next 90 days (checked Oct 20 2026). How it works: Every block mints a fixed 9.6 new KAIA, about one a second, with no cap: 74.61M KAIA in the last 90 days. Nothing vests, and the Foundation funds already count as circulating.

Every answer here applies basic economic theory — the law of supply and demand — to this coin's data. It is not financial advice. How we read every coin →
We look at two things: supply and demand. Fewer new coins mean less selling pressure. We also show each coin's age, with a warning when it is younger than 1 year. Demand shows how much people want the coin. Price Drivers (Beta) are the 2 or 3 things that can move one coin's price that supply and demand miss. KAIA supply grows +1.04% in the next 90 days, so it shows in red: more KAIA reaches the market than is removed. Zero or falling supply is always green, any growth is red.
One email before each big supply event, and the day our verdict changes. Nothing else. You can watch 2 coins for free.
