$KENDU – The Everything Coin

2025/08/29 04:52

In a saturated market, where interaction from a celebrity or a cute, viral animal prompts 50+ derivative “projects,” it can be difficult to stand out. KENDU does not rely on a fleeting narrative. It does not promise cutting-edge tech. It does not rely on paying influencers and Key Opinion Leaders (or “KOLs”) to artificially create hype. Over the last 16 months, the community has carved its own path, expanding its reach in all directions. This is the first “Brand Coin” with a passionate community of autonomous marketers.

The “Permissionless Brand” Concept

Most businesses strictly guard their brands from unauthorized use, often threatening and pursuing legal action. KENDU takes the opposite approach. The name, logo and concept are original Intellectual Property and free for anyone to use, remix and share. This philosophy does two powerful things:

1. Invites and encourages creativity. Instead of the brand being shaped by a few individuals in boardrooms, thousands with diverse backgrounds, geography, talents and ideas can contribute and take the brand in any direction they please.

2. Transforms supporters into marketers. Community members building under the KENDU umbrella not only instantly tap into their first several hundred users, product testers and buyers, but also into an autonomous marketing machine. 

No approvals. No licensing red tape. Whether you want to design a hoodie, paint a mural, or simply create a viral meme—you KENDU it. 

The Power of Community & Decentralization

Since its launch in March 2024, the KENDU community has had several key chances to demonstrate their strength. It was the second-ever memecoin to garner over 50,000 votes on the popular and reputable security platform, CertiK Skynet, earning free KYC and a full project audit. This audit was completed in February of 2025—analyzing not only the coin’s contract security, and tokenomics, but also its social impact, community sentiment and decentralization. 

Due to the project’s early fundamentals, longevity and several periods of redistribution, KENDU now is one of the most decentralized memecoins in the space, boasting a Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (or “HHI”) of approximately 29%. These metrics, combined with the permissionless brand concept, exemplifies the core principle of cryptocurrency—decentralization. 

 

The Concept in Action

This novel concept has manifested itself in many ways, almost too many to list, not only in web3, but web2 and in real life (“IRL”). 

– Food & Beverage: KENDU Energy developed a wildly successful energy drink, already selling and distributing over 6,000 cans to Europe, North America and Australia. The team has committed to using a portion of the funds raised to purchase and hold $KENDU and has donated hundreds of cans to sponsor events. Several community members have developed KENDU beers, achieving a commercial license and distributing in the EU. KENDU Coffee developed a custom KENDU roast, which achieved a grade of 89/100, firmly placing it in the “specialty” category by Q graders. Other community members have made KENDU chocolate, baked goods, sweets and more.

 

– Event Sponsorship: An artistic street team called KENDU Street formed early on, and has sponsored events in Florida, Tennessee and soon Pennsylvania. KENDU Energy and merch were on full display at MuralFest during Art Basel. The team held its own cypher showcase, a breakdancing competition during Miami Music Week. Custom KENDU Energy cocktails were served to thirsty festival goers at the Florida Groves Music Festival in Orlando. Accompanying these multi-day events was a team of KENDU holders and artists who painted live KENDU murals and tag walls. One community member started an events company in India, KENDU Entertainment, and has sponsored many nightclub events, as well as pickleball tournaments. Capitalizing on one of the fastest growing sports in the world, KENDU Entertainment is planning to sponsor a 10-city tour, where KENDU will be front and center. 

 

– Merchandise: Several independently run apparel and footwear stores have emerged—offering not only a creative and profitable outlet for these purveyors, but also a way for other community members to sport “KENDU” on their hats, shirts and shoes in their day-to-day lives. 

 

One professional jeweler in the community created a custom 1:1 silver KENDU pendant and sold out of handmade KENDU dog tags. Just this week, a newly formed company, KENDU Brilliance, teased upcoming jewelry products. 

Another entrepreneur unveiled a concept for “KENDU VENDU Refreshment Solutions,” an AI-driven vending machine, that can be purchased, delivered, installed and stocked to provide passive income to its owner.

 

– Gaming: A successful video game developer has come out of retirement and started an indie game studio called KENDU Games. With a team of 5 employees, including ex-AAA and BioWare talent, its first release slated for Q4 of 2025 on Steam, the popular online gaming marketplace. The studio has committed to using a portion of the profits from the studio to purchase and hold $KENDU in its treasury. Another member is working on sponsoring an eSports team, who will wear KENDU apparel and be fueled by KENDU Energy drinks.

This list is not exhaustive, but rather a snapshot of the endeavors taking place in the KENDU community.

 

A Movement, Not a Meme

When people feel like they own a brand, they don’t just buy into it, they build it, fiercely defend it, and share it with their networks. KENDU takes the core crypto concept of decentralization a step further by open sourcing its culture. It is not one central team trying to grow an audience, but rather an audience transforming into a team.

KENDU is more than a token—it is a living, breathing example of how decentralization, creativity and community combine to redefine what a brand can be. The permissionless approach turns holders into co-creators, allowing rapid expansion throughout many industries and farther than any marketing budget could. It is not simply something you invest in—it’s something you can join.

 

KENDU is primarily an Ethereum-based token but has also partnered with Wormhole to be available on both Solana and Base blockchains:

 

Ethereum: 0xaa95f26e30001251fb905d264Aa7b00eE9dF6C18

Solana: 2nnrviYJRLcf2bXAxpKTRXzccoDbwaP4vzuGUG75Jo45

Base: 0xef73611F98DA6E57e0776317957af61B59E09Ed7

August Crypto Market Review: ETH Leads the Rise, Institutional Funding and Macro Factors Dominate Market Trends

August Crypto Market Review: ETH Leads the Rise, Institutional Funding and Macro Factors Dominate Market Trends

By Jianing Wu , Galaxy Digital Compiled by Tim, PANews August saw various crossover signals between the macro economy and the crypto market. In traditional markets, investors faced conflicting inflation signals: the CPI released at the beginning of the month came in below expectations, but the subsequent Producer Price Index (PPI) came in above expectations. This was coupled with weakening employment data and growing market expectations that the Federal Reserve would begin cutting interest rates in September. At the end of the month's Fed meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Chairman Powell struck a dovish tone, emphasizing the "shifting balance of risks" brought about by rising unemployment, which reinforced expectations of a shift toward easing monetary policy. The stock market closed higher in a volatile session, with the S&P 500 fluctuating with the data releases. Defensive assets like gold outperformed at the end of the month. The crypto market reflected this macro uncertainty, with increased volatility. Bitcoin hit an all-time high of over $124,000 in mid-August before retreating to around $110,000, while Ethereum's gains for the entire month outpaced Bitcoin's. After experiencing its largest single-day outflow at the beginning of the month, Ethereum ETFs quickly attracted strong inflows, briefly surpassing Bitcoin's despite Ethereum's smaller market capitalization. However, the recovery in demand pushed ETH prices to a new high near $4,953, and the ETH/BTC exchange rate rose to 0.04 for the first time since November 2024. The fluctuations in ETF trading highlight that institutional position adjustments are increasingly influencing price trends, and ETH is clearly the leader in this cycle. In terms of laws and policies, regulators are gradually pushing forward reforms to reshape the industry landscape. The U.S. Department of Labor has opened the door to allocating crypto assets to 401(k) pension plans, while the U.S. SEC has explicitly stated that certain liquidity pledge businesses do not fall under the category of securities. Application trends at the market structure and institutional levels are deepening. Treasury Secretary Bessant disclosed for the first time that strategic Bitcoin reserves now hold between 120,000 and 170,000 coins, revealing the government's cumulative cryptocurrency holdings for the first time. Business activity is also accelerating: Stablecoin issuers Stripe and Circle announced plans to develop independent L1 blockchains, while Wyoming became the first state government in the US to issue a dollar-denominated stablecoin. Google also joined the enterprise blockchain fray with its "Universal Ledger" system. Meanwhile, crypto treasury companies continue to increase their asset allocation efforts. Overall, August reinforced two key trends. On the one hand, macro volatility and policy uncertainty triggered significant market volatility in both the equity and crypto markets; on the other, the underlying trend of market institutionalization is accelerating, from ETF flows to widespread adoption by sovereign institutions and corporations. These intertwining forces are likely to continue to dominate market movements as the autumn approaches, with the Federal Reserve's policy shift and ongoing structural demand likely setting the tone for the next phase of the cycle. 1. Spikes, Breakouts, and Reversals In the first half of August, Ethereum led the market, outperforming Bitcoin and driving a broad rally in altcoins. The Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index shows that Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $124,496 on August 13 before reversing course, closing the month at $109,127, down from $116,491 at the beginning of the month. A week later, on August 22, Ethereum broke through the previous cycle high, reaching $4,953, surpassing the November 2021 high of $4,866 and ending a four-year consolidation. Ethereum's strong performance is particularly noteworthy given its underperformance for much of this cycle. Since its April low near $1,400, the price of Ether has more than tripled, driven by strong ETF flows and purchases by crypto treasury firms. U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs saw net inflows of approximately $4 billion in August, the second-strongest month after July. In contrast, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of approximately $639 million. However, despite a price decline in the last two weeks of August, Bitcoin ETF inflows turned positive. As market expectations for aggressive interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve grew, Bitcoin's store-of-value narrative regained focus. As the likelihood of a rate cut increased, Bitcoin's correlation with gold strengthened significantly that month. Besides ETFs, crypto treasury firms remain a significant source of demand. These firms continued to increase their holdings throughout August, with Ethereum-focused treasuries in particular injecting significant capital. Because Ethereum's market capitalization is smaller than Bitcoin's, corporate capital inflows have a disproportionate impact on spot prices. A $1 billion allocation to Ethereum can significantly impact the market landscape, far more than a similar amount allocated to Bitcoin. Furthermore, significant funds remain undeployed among publicly disclosed crypto treasury firms, suggesting further positive market conditions. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization climbed to a record high of $4.2 trillion that month, demonstrating the deep correlation between crypto assets and broader market trends. Rising expectations of interest rate cuts boosted risk appetite in both the stock and crypto markets, while ETF inflows and corporate reserve accumulation directly contributed to record highs for BTC and ETH. Despite market volatility near the end of the month, the interplay of loose macro policies, institutional capital flows, and crypto treasury reserve needs has maintained the crypto market's central position in the risk asset narrative. 2. Each company launches its own L1 public chain Favorable regulations are giving businesses more confidence to enter the crypto market directly. In late July, US SEC Chairman Paul Atkins announced the launch of "Project Crypto," an initiative aimed at promoting the on-chain issuance and trading of stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments. This initiative marks a key step in the integration of traditional market infrastructure with blockchain technology. Encouraged by this, businesses are breaking through the limitations of existing blockchain applications and launching their own Layer 1 networks. In August, three major companies announced the launch of new L1 blockchains. Circle launched Arc, which is compatible with the EVM and uses its USDC stablecoin as its native gas token. Arc features compliance and privacy features, a built-in on-chain foreign exchange settlement engine, and will launch with a permissioned validator set. Following its acquisitions of stablecoin infrastructure provider Bridge and crypto wallet service provider Privy, Stripe launched Tempo Chain, also compatible with the EVM and focused on stablecoin payments and enterprise applications. Google released the Google Cloud Universal Ledger (GCUL), a private permissioned blockchain focused on payments and asset issuance. It supports Python-based smart contracts and has attracted CME Group as a pilot partner. The logic behind enterprise blockchain development boils down to value capture, control, and independent design. By owning the underlying protocol, companies like Circle avoid paying network fees to third parties and profit directly from transaction activity. Stripe, on the other hand, can more tightly integrate its proprietary blockchain with payment systems, developing new features for customers without relying on the governance mechanisms of other chains. Both companies view control as a key element of compliant operations, particularly as regulators increase their scrutiny of illicit financial activities. Choosing to build on L1 rather than L2 avoids being constrained by other blockchain networks in terms of settlement or consensus mechanisms. Reactions from the crypto-native community have been mixed. Many believe that projects like Arc and GCUL, while borrowing technical standards from existing L1 chains, are inferior in design and exclude Ethereum and other native assets. Critics point out that permissioned validators and corporate-led governance models undermine decentralization and user autonomy. These debates echo the failed wave of "enterprise blockchains" in the mid-2010s, which ultimately failed to attract real users. Despite skepticism, these companies' moves are significant. Stripe processes over $1 trillion in payments annually, holding approximately 17% of the global payment processing market. If Tempo can achieve lower costs or offer better developer tools, competitors may be forced to follow suit. Google's entry demonstrates that major tech companies view blockchain as the next evolutionary level of financial infrastructure. If these companies can bring their scale, distribution capabilities, and regulatory resources to this area, the impact could be profound. In addition to businesses launching their own Layer 1 chains, other developments reinforce the trend of economic activity migrating on-chain. U.S. Secretary of Commerce Lutnick announced that GDP data will be published on public blockchains via oracle networks such as Chainlink and Python. Galaxy tokenized its shares to test on-chain secondary market trading. These initiatives demonstrate that businesses and governments are beginning to embed blockchain technology into core financial and data infrastructure, despite ongoing debate over the appropriate balance between compliance and decentralization. 3. Hot Trend: Crypto Treasury Companies The crypto treasury trends we highlighted in our earlier report continue. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solver (SOL) holdings continue to accumulate, with Ethereum showing the strongest performance. Holdings data shows a sharp rise in ETH's crypto treasury throughout August, primarily driven by Bitmine's reserves, which increased from approximately 625,000 ETH at the beginning of August to over 2 million currently. Solver holdings also maintained steady growth, while BTC holdings continued their slower but steady accumulation. Compared to ETF fund flows, the activity of crypto treasury companies appears relatively flat. In July and August, ETF fund inflows were stronger than those of crypto treasury companies, and the cumulative balance of ETFs also exceeded the cumulative size of crypto treasury companies. This divergence is becoming increasingly apparent as premiums on crypto treasury stocks shrink across the board. Earlier this summer, price-to-earnings ratios for crypto treasury companies were significantly higher than their net asset values, but these premiums have gradually returned to more normal levels, signaling a growing caution among stock market investors. The stock price fluctuations are evident: KindlyMD (Nakamoto's parent company) has fallen from a peak of nearly $25 in late May to around $5, while Bitmine has fallen from $62 in early August to around $46. Selling pressure intensified in late August amid reports that Nasdaq may tighten its oversight of acquisitions of crypto treasury companies through stock offerings. This news accelerated the sell-off in shares of Ethereum-focused crypto treasury companies. Bitcoin-focused companies, such as Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy, ticker symbol: MSTR), were less affected because their acquisition strategies rely more on debt financing than equity issuance. 4. Hot Trend: Copycat Season Another hot trend is the rotation into altcoins. Bitcoin's dominance has gradually declined, from approximately 60% at the beginning of August to 56.5% by the end of the month, while Ethereum's market share has risen from 11.7% to 13.6%. Data indicates a rotation out of Bitcoin into Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies, which aligns with the outperformance of Ethereum ETFs and inflows into crypto treasury firms. While Bitcoin ETF inflows have rebounded in recent weeks, the overall trend remains unchanged: this cycle continues to expand beyond Bitcoin, with Ethereum and altcoins gaining incremental market share. 5. Our views and predictions As markets head into the final weeks of September, all eyes are on the Federal Reserve. Labor market weakness is solidifying expectations of a near-term rate cut and reinforcing risk assets. The jobs report underscores that the economic slowdown may be deeper than initially reported, raising questions about how much easing policy will be needed to cushion the economy. Meanwhile, the long end of the yield curve is flashing warning signs. Persistently high 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields reflect market concerns that inflation may be sticky and that fiscal pressures may ultimately force central banks to finance debt and spending through money printing. Expectations of short-term interest rate cuts are driving a rebound in risky assets, but the tug-of-war between short-term support from rate cuts and long-term concerns pushing yields and precious metals higher will determine the sustainability of this rebound. This conflicting dynamic has a direct impact on cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin's correlation with gold as a store of value and hedge is growing, while Ethereum and altcoins remain more sensitive to shifts in overall risk appetite.
