Digital IDs Just Killed Keeta Price: Is KTA Crypto Ultimate Warning Over Trump Crypto IDs?

[Ben Graham]

The secret Trump crypto plan was finally revealed last week, and the Keeta price and KTA crypto project are faltering.

Under the GENIUS Act, passed in July, the Treasury is exploring whether DeFi protocols should incorporate built-in identity checks at the smart contract level. This has shaken to the core Keeta crypto, one of 2025’s most talked-about projects, which drew hype for its bold claims: 47,000 TPS, a hybrid DAG+dPoS model, and ambitions to bridge Web2 finance with Web3 DeFi.

Fuel poured in when Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO, invested $17m and joined as an advisor, giving Keeta legitimacy beyond the crypto-native world.

Community excitement peaked with BitMart’s listing and rumors of tier-1 exchange support. Comparisons to Cardano (ADA) and Hedera (HBAR) framed Keeta as a “serious” contender in the alt L1 race. Now, many are wondering how much room Keeta Crypto has to grow in a crowded L1 environment.

Keeta Price Down: Did Digital IDs and Trump’s Crypto Push Spook Investors?

KTA’s bullish story collided with a broader market narrative of the U.S. Treasury’s push for digital IDs. For critics, this raised alarms, especially if lower-cap DeFi-centered projects like Keeta would be affected. If future blockchain infrastructure is tied to government-issued identity, permissionless finance may no longer be truly decentralized.

Some investors view crypto projects like Keeta, positioned as fast, scalable, and “compliance-ready,” as caught in the crossfire.

As Mamadou Kwidjim Toure of Ubuntu Tribe put it:

“Embedding ID at the protocol level erodes financial freedom,” he warned, comparing the trend to “putting cameras in every living room.”

That fear may explain why KTA has wobbled under $1 despite its technical achievements.

Can Keeta Survive the Falling Knife? Why KTA Crypto Looks Fragile Below $1

Chart signals have shifted against Keeta. According to TradingView data:

• Support: $0.90 is the key base. A breakdown risks sliding into the $0.85 zone.
• Resistance: $0.97–$1.00 acts as a hard ceiling, with every bounce sold down.
• Moving Averages: Lean bearish. The 20-day sits beneath the 200-day, a confirmed death cross.
• Pattern: Price structure fits a textbook falling knife, with sellers pressing every bounce.

Unless $0.90 stabilizes quickly, a sharper slide into the $0.80 range looks probable.

The bullish case rests on two near-term catalysts: proof of its 47k TPS claims and confirmation of a tier-1 exchange listing. If either land, traders could see another burst of green candles.
