* The Kadena team announced the shutdown of its operations.
* The KDA price fell to a new all-time low of $0.078 today.
* Will KDA ever recover, or is the token doomed to freefall?
Today, the Kadena team announced it will cease operations because of unfavorable market conditions.
The negative Kadena news caused the KDA token to plunge 60% to a new all-time low of $0.078.
With the blockchain set to shut down, the future outlook for KDA seems bleak.
Kadena Shuts Down
Kadena has announced the immediate shutdown of all business operations, citing prolonged market headwinds and an inability to sustain active development.
In an official statement, the company confirmed it will cease all business activity and maintenance of the Kadena blockchain, retaining only a small transitional team to oversee the wind-down.
Despite the negative news, the Kadena blockchain will continue to operate.
It remains a fully decentralized network powered by independent miners and governed by community-maintained smart contracts.
The team pledged to release a new binary to ensure uninterrupted network operation without their involvement.
Kadena’s native token, KDA, plunged over 50% following the announcement, erasing hundreds of millions in market value.
The organization reassured holders that 566 million KDA remain in mining rewards until 2139, with additional tokens unlocking through 2029.
As the founding team steps away, the project’s survival now rests on its community, which is already giving backlash.
The Kadena shutdown has been called an “Exit Scam”, especially since the team had been posting about grants and hackathons just one day prior.
Some have even suggested starting a class action lawsuit because they believe Kadena’s director is engaging in irresponsible behavior.
The KDA price crashed after the announcement and fell to a new all-time low today.
KDA Price Crashes
The KDA price has trended downward since its all-time high of $28.31 in November 2021.
KDA bounced twice in 2023 and 2024 but failed to sustain any traction, simply creating lower highs and falling to new lows.
In 2025, the KDA price created a horizontal support level but fell under a diagonal resistance, creating a descending triangle.
The triangle is a bearish pattern, and it led to a breakdown in October, eventually creating a new KDA at an all-time low price today.
Kadena’s breakdown has been swift, and the price has already crashed more than the triangle’s height.
While a breakdown often ends at this level, this was not the case for KDA, which continued crashing well after its lows.
Momentum indicators show zero signs of a bullish trend reversal, since the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) are falling.
As a result, Kadena’s prediction remains bearish, and new lows are likely in the future.
Kadena’s Negative News
Kadena’s collapse marks the end of one of the longest-standing crypto projects of the last two cycles.
With its core team stepping away, confidence in the project and its token has evaporated almost overnight.
Unless a strong community effort revives development, KDA could struggle to find any real use case or recovery momentum.
