The latest crypto market update for October 11, 2026 shows a mixed session, with Starknet leading gains while Bitcoin and Ethereum stayed nearly flat.
Top Story
Starknet surged 53.96% in 24 hours to $0.1100, with trading volume reaching $1.94B. The rally followed Starknet’s October 8 statement that it was actively considering a move from an Ethereum Layer 2 to an independent Layer 1.
The proposed transition includes a target for a fully quantum-resistant network by 2027. The plan is not approved, and Starknet has not published a complete implementation schedule.
The move pushed STRK’s weekly gain to 105.33%. Trading volume exceeded most large-cap token volumes and reached more than twice the reported $816.8M market cap, marking a major repricing rather than a low-volume move.
A scheduled 127 million STRK unlock is due on 15 October 2026. The tranche represents about 1.7% of circulating supply and has been valued at approximately $9.15M.
