Starknet

Ethereum’s co-founder, Vitalik Buterin deposited 2.09 million STRK tokens on Binance, incurring a loss of $714,000. He got the tokens a few months ago and were initially worth about $1.51 million. Vitalik has been a high-profile public investor in StarkNet since investing in the protocol’s seed round in 2018.

Vitalik moved over 2 million STRK tokens valued at approximately $799,000 to Binance. Some analysts have claimed that he could be preparing to cash in or reallocate his money in preparation for regulatory changes expected under a new presidency.
Besides this, on September 5, Vitalik also <a href="https://x.com/lookonchain/status/1831619548694638751" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">unlocked</a> 2.1 million STRK tokens in two seed rounds. The criticism here was that the founder transferred those tokens from his Ethereum wallet to a new one.&nbsp;
Some even suggested, then, that Vitalik was considering selling off his tokens, which they predicted would take a toll on STRK’s value. Commenting on the same, an investor identified as Kube (@9xix113) talked about Vitalik’s transfer and even projected that the STRK token prices would slump.
Starknet’s STRK is currently trading at <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/starknet-token/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">$0.3804</a>, close to a 9% price rise in the last 24 hours. Moreover, its 24-hour trading volume stands at $76.16 million, an 88% rise in the 24 hours.

In a post on X on October 29, Starknet <a href="https://x.com/Starknet/status/1851499376142926005" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">announced</a> its new transactions per second high. The Ethereum L2 network achieved a record peak of 857 TPS on its main net,&nbsp; up from 503 TPS. Their stress test averaged 127.5 TPS&nbsp; in just 24 hours.
Starknet’s CEO Eli Ben-Sasson even commented:
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 This is not a narrow story of ‘success on Starknet.’ It’s an illustration that scaling on the blockchain is taking big leaps forward and that the rails are getting ready for mass use. <cite>~Eli Ben-Sasson</cite>
</blockquote>
Eli further said they “have many more developments in the pipeline that will enable Starknet’s TPS to reach new heights, including the introduction of the STWO prover in early 2025.”
