The Katana token (KAT) is set to debut on March 18, 2026, across multiple exchanges including MEXC, KuCoin, XT.com, Hibt, Gate.io, and BiTrue. Meanwhile, a Pre-TGE event on Binance Wallet opened on March 16 from 12:00 to 14:00 UTC, requiring users to hold Binance Alpha Points.
Exchange Listings and Trading Pairs
On MEXC, the KAT/USDT pair will start trading at 13:00 UTC on March 18, with the conversion feature enabled one hour later. KuCoin will also open trading at 13:00 UTC, accepting deposits earlier via the Katana mainnet. This coordinated listing underscores growing exchange interest in the Katana ecosystem.
Tokenomics and Supply Structure
Launched in June 2025, Katana aims to concentrate liquidity within a core set of apps and assets rather than spreading it across many protocols. The total initial supply is 10 billion tokens, distributed as follows: user liquidity mining 20%, community airdrops 15%, core contributors 15.65%, and ecosystem & community treasury 49.35%.
KAT is already trading on Uniswap, currently priced around $0.01595, down 5.8% intraday, with a market cap of $37.35 million. Despite the recent dip, analysts suggest that strong exchange exposure could drive early trading momentum.
KAT Price Outlook
According to analysts cited by CoinGabbar, the token may trade between $0.05 and $0.10 during its initial listing phase. In the short-to-medium term, some market observers see a potential rise to $0.80–$1.00 if ecosystem adoption and activity grow. However, these projections remain speculative, and actual price movements will depend on liquidity, market sentiment, and broader crypto market conditions.
