Where it traded
CoinGecko lists 54 KAVA markets with about $29 million of combined 24-hour volume, most of it after the drop began. Hourly volume was under $3 million before 5 a.m. ET and about $17 million in the hour that followed. Binance's KAVA/USDT pair led with about $6.9 million, then PancakeSwap on BNB Chain with $5.7 million.
Two Korean markets did not follow the fall. Upbit's KAVA/KRW pair last traded at about $0.052 and Bithumb's at about $0.069, close to the price before the drop, while Binance, Gate, Bybit and PancakeSwap were near $0.037. A gap that wide suggests those markets are not trading in line with the rest; the exchanges' own notices are the place to check why.

What we know about the cause
Not much yet. Some market posts link the fall to a security problem on the Kava chain, but we could not confirm that on any primary source we were able to open, including Kava's own channels, so we treat it as unverified and do not assign a cause. CoinGecko lists about 1.08 billion KAVA in circulation, all of the supply, for a market value of about $39 million. KAVA is down about 75% over the past year.
LC Insight analysis
This section is our reading of the facts above, not a statement of fact.
- We think the shape of the move matters most. A token that sits flat for two days and then loses almost half its value in two hours, with volume jumping about six times, points to a specific event rather than a slow sell-off, and the Korean price gaps suggest not every market has caught up with it.
What's next
- An official statement from Kava on what happened
- Whether the Upbit and Bithumb prices close the gap with other markets
- Whether KAVA holds above Saturday's record low of about $0.0356
