Key Takeaways
- • Kaspa's block reward will fall from 2.060 KAS to 1.945 KAS on November 4, 2026, a 5.6% cut that reduces daily new coin issuance.
- • Approximately 96.8% of Kaspa's total 28.7 billion KAS supply is already in circulation, so the reduction further tightens new supply rather than altering the existing float.
- • Kaspa is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency using a BlockDAG structure that produces roughly ten blocks per second and does not discard blocks, per Pluang.
- • Kaspa trades against the euro on EU-authorized exchanges Kraken and Bitvavo; German investors face tax treatment in which mining income is taxed on receipt while holding gains are tax-free after one year.
- • Kaspa's price sits far below its all-time high, and limited liquidity means large trades can move the market materially.
Summary
Kaspa, a proof-of-work cryptocurrency, is scheduled to reduce its block reward from 2.060 KAS to 1.945 KAS on November 4, 2026, according to Pluang. The 5.6% reduction lowers the daily issuance of new coins. With 96.8% of the total 28.7 billion KAS supply already in circulation, the change has a limited effect on overall float but further constrains the pace at which new supply enters the market.
The network uses a BlockDAG structure that allows around ten blocks per second and enables fast transaction confirmations without discarding blocks, which Pluang contrasts with Bitcoin's design. Kaspa can be traded against the euro on exchanges including Kraken and Bitvavo, both of which are authorized in the EU.
Pluang highlights tax considerations for German investors, where income from mining is taxable upon receipt, whereas gains from holding the asset are tax-free after one year. The article also notes that the price is currently far below Kaspa's all-time high and that liquidity is limited, so large trades can have an outsized impact on price.
Pluang's broader market snapshot from October 25, 2026, at 10:51 WIB showed seven of 50 major cryptocurrencies rising and 41 falling, with ZIL, VET and AXS among the decliners. The source did not include Kaspa's current price or trading volume.
