Kaspa has set a new benchmark by achieving 3,210 transactions per second (TPS) as of September 17, 2025, showcasing the capabilities of its BlockDAG architecture. This development underscores Kaspa's position as one of the fastest layer-1 networks, maintaining decentralization and security while scaling effectively. Simultaneously, the market faces potential volatility with over $35 million in short positions at risk if the KAS price exceeds $0.09. This scenario could trigger a short squeeze, significantly impacting the KAS price chart, especially in light of Kaspa's recent technological advancements.
