Kaspa’s declining new issuance and proximity to its supply ceiling could make future token growth increasingly constrained, while its recent price performance shows that supply metrics do not determine short-term market direction.
- About 27.8 billion KAS are circulating.
- The maximum supply is roughly 28.70 billion KAS.
- Kaspa has passed Bitcoin in a supply-related metric.
- KAS is down 12.28% over seven days.
CaptainAltcoin reports that 
Kaspa has moved ahead of 
Bitcoin in one supply-related comparison as new KAS issuance continues to contract. The report does not identify Bitcoin’s corresponding figure or explain the precise metric used in the comparison, so the claimed crossover cannot be independently assessed from the supplied material.
The current Kaspa supply is approximately 27.8 billion KAS, compared with a maximum supply of roughly 28.70 billion. That places about 96.85% of Kaspa’s eventual supply in circulation, according to CaptainAltcoin, leaving the token close to its stated issuance ceiling while the rate of newly issued KAS continues to shrink.
No other outlet covered the development in the supplied material. CaptainAltcoin is therefore the sole source for the comparison with Bitcoin and for the circulating-supply and maximum-supply figures; no conflicting figures are available, but there is also no cross-publisher corroboration.
