Binance has officially confirmed the listing schedule for Katana (KAT), a DeFi-focused blockchain. The exchange will first hold a Pre-TGE sale via Binance Wallet on March 16, 2026, from 12:00 to 14:00 UTC, exclusively for Alpha Points holders. Spot trading will open on March 18, 2026, at 13:00 UTC with trading pairs KAT/USDT, KAT/USDC, and KAT/TRY.
Katana Project Overview: Layer-1 ve(3,3) Model and Community Base
Katana is a blockchain designed for decentralized finance, implementing a chain-level ve(3,3) mechanism to offer deep liquidity and sustainable real yield. Built by the Katana Foundation and incubated by Polygon and GSR, the project has amassed over 302,000 followers on X, indicating strong early community engagement.
Pre-TGE Details and Early Staking Rewards
The Pre-TGE marks Binance Wallet's 7th Prime Sale edition. Users must participate within the two-hour window. Simultaneously, KAT Pre-Staking is live on the Katana App, offering early participants 3x voting and reward weight for eight weeks. The first 350 million staked tokens also receive 35% guaranteed rewards for 60 days, incentivizing early liquidity commitment.
Spot Trading Schedule and Listing Conditions
Spot trading goes live at 13:00 UTC on March 18, with deposits opening one hour prior and withdrawals starting March 19 at 13:00 UTC. Binance has assigned a Seed Tag to KAT, signaling its early-stage nature and heightened volatility risk. The listing fee is 0 BNB, reflecting a zero-fee onboarding policy.
Tokenomics and Early Market Data
Katana's total supply is capped at 10 billion KAT. Allocation breaks down as: 49.35% ecosystem and community treasury, 20% user liquidity mining, 15% community airdrops, and 15.65% core contributors. The team states no venture capital or presale rounds exist, eliminating early unlock advantages. Pre-market indicators show KAT trading near $0.01547, with a market cap of approximately $34.97 million, fully diluted valuation around $154.76 million, and a circulating supply of 2.26 billion. Analysts suggest initial trading could range between $0.02 and $0.05 if ecosystem traction builds, though the Seed Tag warns of potential volatility during the early phase.
