Starknet's token has more than doubled in a month, and the calendar now matters as much as the chart.
📌 What happened
$STRK rose about 40% in 24 hours to near $0.068 and is up roughly 119% over 30 days, per CoinGecko. Reports link much of the move to a program that covers bridge fees for the first 100 BTC brought onto Starknet through strkBTC.
🔍 Why it matters
• A bitcoin-focused growth story gives Starknet a clearer pitch than generic layer-2 competition
• 24h volume above $400 million is close to the token's market cap of about $507 million
• The coin is on CoinGecko's trending list, which tends to pull in short-term traders
👀 What to watch
• Whether BTC deposits keep rising after the fee subsidy runs out
• The counter-argument: about 127 million STRK unlock on October 15, per TokenUnlocks, and monthly releases continue into 2027, which can weigh on price after a fast run
💬 Can a bitcoin narrative keep a layer-2 token strong through its unlocks?
