A trading thesis carries more context when you know who’s behind it: their experience, connections and track record. @Punk9277 explains why the social graph matters as investors increasingly form convictions on X. That’s part of the vision behind Kaito Pulse and Aura: connecting what people build, trade and back with their social identity.

A closer look at Kaito Select in practice. @jumperapp’s campaign attracted 2,065 applications, with 62 creators publishing 119 eligible posts. Together, they generated 764K+ impressions at an $18.90 CPM. The full breakdown on @KaitoStudio_ ↓

The trading floor is increasingly wherever investors form their convictions. Today, much of that happens on social media. A single thesis can reach millions of people who can immediately trade on it, particularly in sectors where retail attention is concentrated. @Punk9277 explains why this changes how we should think about market influence, using @citrini's AI report as an example.

Less noise. More signal.

Our founder @Punk9277 joined @ThisIsNewWave_ to discuss how traders and creators build influence, why their track records matter, and how this shift informs what we’re building. The conversation covers the journey from Kaito Pro’s beginnings to the creation of @KaitoStudio_, the ideas behind Aura, and our vision for the next five years. Watch the full episode below ↓

An important update for $KAITO stakers: we’ve refreshed the Ecosystem Airdrops interface and introduced registration for each airdrop. Last year, around half of staker allocations went unclaimed, so going forward, allocations will be shared among eligible stakers who register for each airdrop. Stake or hold YT-sKAITO, register before the deadline, and claim once the campaign ends, subject to eligibility.

That's a wrap on @TOKEN2049. Our founder @Punk9277 took the main stage with a simple thesis: social media is becoming the new global trading floor. More people can access markets, more research happens in the open, and the distance between an idea and a trade keeps shrinking. The conversations that shape collective belief increasingly move markets. Telling signal from noise is the hard part, and it is the exact problem Kaito has been building for. It is why we have been expanding access to trading intelligence, helping teams find the right creators through @KaitoStudio_, and tying real activity to identity through Pulse and Aura. Across the week, the mood matched the thesis. Founders are building for product-market fit and real usage rather than rushing to a TGE. RWAs and tokenisation ran through every conversation, and the suits were out in force, showing once again that institutions are no longer watching from the sidelines. Thank you to everyone who came to find us in Singapore. We are building toward some big things, and we will have more to show soon.
