Is Kinetiq (KNTQ) halal or haram?
Not screened yet
We have not run our Shariah screening on Kinetiq yet, so we are not giving a ruling on this page. What is below is what we have gathered and checked ourselves, without any AI: where the coin lives, its supply, what its own blockchain says about who can freeze or create coins, and the project's own documents.
What it is
Kinetiq is a liquid staking protocol built natively on Hyperliquid, enabling users to stake the native token of the Hyperliquid blockchain (HYPE) and receive Kinetiq Staked HYPE (kHYPE) in return. kHYPE enables staking participation while retaining full liquidity and capital efficiency — earning staking rewards…

What it runs, and where its revenue goes
Per DefiLlama on 2026-09-23, Kinetiq runs 7 product lines: Kinetiq kHYPE (Liquid Staking, $1.9M in fees over 30 days); Kinetiq Markets (Interface, $181K in fees over 30 days); Kinetiq Earn (Yield Aggregator, $88K in fees over 30 days); Kinetiq Validators (Liquid Staking, $39K in fees over 30 days); Kinetiq KNTQ (Services, $22K in fees over 30 days); Kinetiq Launch (Liquid Staking, $7K in fees over 30 days); Kinetiq kmHYPE (Liquid Staking).
Per DefiLlama on 2026-09-23, $149K reached Kinetiq token holders in the last 30 days (Kinetiq kHYPE $135K, Kinetiq Validators $14K, Kinetiq Launch $483). How, in DefiLlama's words: From 2026-04-09, 70% of performance fees (which is 10% staking rewards) are used to by back KNTQ.
Figures from DefiLlama. Whether any of this income is permissible is part of our screening.
Who controls the coins
Token on HyperEVM. Its contract's source code is not published where we can read it, so who can freeze or create tokens could not be read from the chain.
Whether anyone can freeze a holder's balance, or create new coins, is part of our screening, and it is checked there.
