The altcoin is not just launching quietly—it’s coming to major exchanges, starting with Binance. It’s also part of Binance Megadrop, allowing users to earn rewards before launch. The trading will open on April 14 with these pairs:
Apart from Binance, the token listing will also be available on Gate.io, MEXC, KuCoin, Kraken, CoinEx Global, and Bitvavo. These listings guarantee strong visibility and liquidity from day one, and they bring in a high volume of users and traders in the crypto industry.
Although the coin is not yet listed, several users are attempting to speculate about its potential launch price. A reasonable comparison can be drawn with Chainlink (LINK)—which also had a total supply of 1 billion tokens and launched at around $0.1891. LINK later peaked at over $52 and is now trading at $12.70, with strong exchange support and real-world utility, according to CoinMarketCap.

Given Kernel DAO's TVL, exchange listing, and robust community supporting the project, experts predict that the coin can open at around $0.10 to $0.20. If adoption continues to rise and use cases increase, the token can potentially reach higher prices, potentially reaching the $10 level in the long run.
With just two days to go, the crypto launch is shaping up to be one of April’s biggest events in the crypto space. From wide exchange listings and an active community, to a generous airdrop and real utility, the project is making a strong entrance. Investors and users are closely watching April 14—ready to claim, trade, and participate in what may be the next big ecosystem project.
