Kaspa just launched its smart contract feature, yet KAS still hasn’t appeared on Binance or Coinbase. For many in the crypto space, that feels like a setback since big listings usually bring liquidity and exposure.
Still, not everyone sees it that way. Some believe the delay is actually good for the project’s long-term growth. Crypto analyst Adrificial John shared his perspective on X about why Kaspa token may be better without tier 1 listings right now.
He explained that the absence of major listings gives developers and marketing figures more time to accumulate and grow alongside the project. That growth, he argued, helps create loyal community leaders and even brand icons, similar to how Jack Mallers became a recognizable figure for Bitcoin.
Adrificial John also mentioned the vision of Kaspa’s founder, Yonathan. Instead of chasing quick exposure, Yonathan is focused on introducing upgrades such as DAGKNIGHT and 100BPS. The commentator described this approach as a kind of “Satoshi 2.0” mindset, building something important, then letting it thrive as open-source. From his view, listings can wait until those milestones are achieved.

1. It's better for Developers and Marketing Figures, that can accumulate in those times, and grow with the Project. The evolution of this, are "Brand Icons" like Jack Mallers for Bitcoin. They will be… pic.twitter.com/IMYTYaF62A
He added that Kasplex, the team behind L2, is still pushing hard on development. Their work is essential for Kaspa’s evolution, and a listing would only distract from that mission. According to him, the best timing for major exchange listings should be after stronger market growth, a successful rollout of smart contracts, and then an announcement of listings.
Why Some Expect Binance To Eventually List Kaspa
While some analysts see benefits in delaying listings, others remain optimistic that KAS will eventually land on Binance. Mitchell Lim, a Kaspa investor, expressed this belief on X, saying that Binance may simply be waiting for the right timing. His advice was for Kaspa holders to remain patient, as he feels the listing will happen one day.

Although there is no official confirmation, his view reflects the optimism of those who believe Binance and possibly Coinbase could add Kaspa once the ecosystem is stronger and better established.
