Why has the $KTA (Keeta) on the BASE chain been able to stay popular until now? When many people see it, they exclaim: Wow, a market capitalization of over a billion dollars, but there is almost no discussion about it in the market.

Now that the popularity of the SOL chain and BSC chain has declined, the BASE chain does need to launch projects that can attract public attention in order to stand out. Additionally, KTA is one of the few major projects, which directly maximizes hype, visibility, and FOMO.

And the "pie" drawn by $KTA is indeed very large:

Explosive performance: Claims to process 10 million transactions per second with almost zero latency, surpassing Ethereum and Solana.
To put real-world assets on the chain (RWA): In simple terms, future properties, stocks, etc. can be "moved onto the chain."
Compliance: They claim to be taking the "regular army route", which can be directly used by large institutions in the future, without fear of being checked.

These words sound just like Solana and Avalanche back in the day, looking like they're up to something big.

What I find most outrageous is that former Google CEO Eric Schmidt actually invested as well, and is even a consultant.

It's like you bought a membership card for a newly opened milk tea shop, and the owner says: "Jack Ma has invested in us."

As a retail investor, the worst fear is to buy and then be dumped.

The $KTA token mechanism is designed very cleverly:
High lock-up ratio, low selling pressure
In the early stages, it was basically all DEX free trading, without large players manipulating the market or taking goods in advance.
As soon as it is launched, there will be CEX listings (such as Bitrue and BitMart), increasing liquidity and popularity.

In short, it makes people dare to buy and dare to chase.

In line with the kind of "fantasy" that retail investors like: affordable + rapid increase + has a story behind it.

Currently, the $KTA surge is real, but whether it can continue to rise in the future depends on whether the promises it has made will be fulfilled and whether the mainnet will truly be launched.
Many tokens are still locked up now, and once they are unlocked later, if there is no new funding, it will lead to a market crash.
Compliance with project regulations sounds easy, but it's uncertain whether it can align with regulatory standards.
