Starknet (STRK) has surged over 12% in the past 24 hours, reaching approximately $0.17, following the integration of Bitcoin staking and significant network upgrades. The new feature, introduced on September 30, 2025, enables users to stake Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) to earn STRK, with over $63 million in BTC already staked. Additionally, the network has launched a 100 million STRK reward pool as part of its 'BTCFi Season' initiative. The recent v0.14.0 upgrade has enhanced the network with decentralized sequencing and faster transaction speeds, although it temporarily caused a chain outage. Despite these advancements, the market remains cautious due to upcoming token unlocks, with 38.2% of STRK's supply scheduled to unlock monthly until March 2027.
