Circulating supply: coins currently available to trade, as reported by the data provider.
Total supply: coins created so far, minus any burned. It includes locked or not-yet-released coins.
Max supply: the hard cap on coins that can ever exist. Shown as “No max supply” when the protocol sets no cap.
CryptoWave Health score
Five measurable signals. Each ring segment’s length is its weight; how full it is shows the score.
Volume is 4.69% of market cap. Normal turnover for its size.
$140.02M market cap, rank #208. Bigger is harder to push around.
32% of the maximum supply circulates. Big unlocks could dilute holders.
3.1% below its all-time high of $0.4521.
Largest recent swing: 13.97% a day. Volatile.

How this score is calculated
A weighted average of five signals computed from the market data on this page. Each signal is scored from 0 to 100:
- Liquidity (25%): 24-hour trading volume divided by market cap.
- Market depth (25%): market cap, on a logarithmic scale from $10 million to $1 trillion.
- Supply (15%): circulating supply divided by max supply, or by total supply when there is no cap. More supply already in circulation scores higher.
- Distance from peak (15%): the current price compared with the all-time high.
- Stability (20%): the largest recent price swing among the 1-hour move (×3), the 24-hour move and the 7-day move (÷2.6).
Bands: 75 and above strong, 55–74 fair, 35–54 weak, below 35 fragile.
Limits: the score describes current market structure only. It is not a price forecast, an audit or investment advice, and it does not consider the team, code or token unlocks. A missing input counts as a neutral 50.

What is Kinetiq (KNTQ)?
Kinetiq is a liquid staking protocol on Hyperliquid. Users stake HYPE and receive kHYPE, a token that earns staking rewards and can still be used across DeFi apps on HyperEVM. KNTQ is Kinetiq's governance token. Its genesis event took place on 27 November 2025, and the project describes KNTQ as the instrument through which the protocol's value accrues. Kinetiq has also built Markets.xyz, a platform for perpetual futures on equities, indices, currencies and commodities that runs on Hyperliquid, and iHYPE, a liquid staking product aimed at regulated institutions.
What KNTQ is used for
- Governance: KNTQ can be staked for sKNTQ, which is used to vote on protocol decisions.
- Value accrual: protocol revenue funds buybacks of KNTQ, so activity in Kinetiq's products ties back to the token.
- Tiers: larger sKNTQ balances unlock higher Markets referral shares and bigger kmHYPE minting allocations.
Kinetiq says that its codebase has been audited eight times by firms including Spearbit, Pashov Audit Group, Zenith and Cantina, and it runs a $1 million bug bounty. Its validator system scores validators automatically and spreads delegated HYPE across the highest-performing ones.
KNTQ supply and token design
The maximum supply is 1 billion KNTQ. Core contributors and investors vest over three years, with a one-year cliff followed by two years of monthly linear vesting. Under the project's governance proposals, 70% of protocol revenue goes to KNTQ buybacks and 30% to the treasury, and all of Kinetiq's share of validator commissions goes to buybacks. Tokens bought this way, along with KNTQ trading fees, are sent to the Hyperliquid Assistance Fund and removed from supply. Unstaking sKNTQ takes seven days. Live circulating supply is shown in the market data on this page.
The KNTQ contract on HyperEVM is 0x000000000000780555bd0bca3791f89f9542c2d6. Check this address, because lookalike tokens are common on newly launched networks.
Official information is on kinetiq.xyz.
What to check before using KNTQ
- Kinetiq depends on Hyperliquid, so problems with HYPE, validators or the network affect the whole protocol.
- Vesting unlocks for contributors and investors can add supply over time.
- Buybacks depend on protocol revenue, which is not guaranteed and can fall with market activity.
- Liquid staking tokens such as kHYPE carry smart contract and validator risk, even though the code has been audited several times.
- Staked sKNTQ is subject to a seven-day withdrawal period.

Kinetiq market analysis
With a market capitalisation of $140.02 million, Kinetiq (KNTQ) is classed as a small-cap asset and ranks #208 of 406 cryptocurrencies with a reported market cap on CryptoWave, larger than about 48.8% of them. It accounts for roughly under 0.01% of the combined tracked market value. Small-cap assets can move quickly on news or exchange listings, and liquidity can thin out fast in sell-offs.
Over the last 24 hours roughly $6.57 million of KNTQ changed hands, equal to 4.69% of its market cap, which puts its trading volume ahead of about 58.4% of tracked assets. That is a moderate, fairly typical level of turnover. Its turnover ratio is higher than that of about 69% of tracked assets.
Price action: KNTQ moved −13.97% in 24 hours and +6.59% over 7 days. It underperformed Bitcoin by 11.79 percentage points over 24 hours but outperformed it by 10.18 points over 7 days. Against the median tracked coin (behind by 11.98 points on the day and ahead by 11.09 points on the week), it has been a relative laggard in recent sessions.
To overtake Sentient (SENT) just above it, Kinetiq would need to grow its market cap by about 0.7%; it is 0.1% larger than Decentraland (MANA) just below. Its market cap is under 0.01% of Bitcoin's.
