BREAKING: Starknet (STRK) Surges 23.8% as Trading Volume Hits $148M
Starknet (STRK), the native token of the Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution, has surged 23.8% to $0.04979 in the past 24 hours, marking one of the strongest performances among major cryptocurrencies on April 23, 2026.
The rally pushed STRK’s market capitalization to $288.3 million, representing a 21.8% increase of $51.6 million in market cap over the past day. Trading volume spiked to $148.7 million, indicating significant investor interest in the Layer 2 token.
Price Action and Recent Performance
STRK hit an intraday high of $0.0497 after trading as low as $0.0397 in the previous 24-hour period, representing a daily range of approximately 25%. The token is currently ranked #141 by market capitalization across all cryptocurrencies.
The surge extends Starknet’s recent momentum, with the token posting impressive gains across multiple timeframes:
- 7-day performance: +40.5%
- 30-day performance: +36.5%
- 1-hour change: +1.75%
The rally comes after STRK touched its all-time low of $0.0321 on April 15, 2026, just eight days ago. The token has now rebounded approximately 53% from that bottom.
Market Context
With a circulating supply of 5.85 billion tokens out of a maximum supply of 10 billion, STRK currently has a fully diluted valuation of $492.3 million. This suggests potential dilution concerns as the remaining 4.15 billion tokens enter circulation over time.
The current price remains significantly below the token’s all-time high of $4.41 reached on February 20, 2024, representing a decline of approximately 98.9% from peak levels.
Starknet is a validity rollup (ZK-rollup) that provides scalability for Ethereum by processing transactions off-chain while maintaining Ethereum-level security. The recent price surge may reflect growing optimism around Layer 2 adoption as Ethereum continues to face scalability challenges.
As of 6:13 AM UTC on April 23, 2026, STRK’s 24-hour trading activity suggests sustained buying pressure, though traders should monitor whether the token can maintain support above recent breakout levels.
