What to know:

  • Starknet has been fully restored following a four hour outage earlier on Monday, adding that some transactions submitted during a narrow window may not have been processed correctly.
  • Downtime can have knock-on effects across decentralized finance and other onchain applications, including stalled swaps, delayed withdrawals and difficulty updating positions.

Starknet said X that service has been fully restored following a four hour outage earlier on Monday, adding that some transactions submitted during a narrow window may not have been processed correctly.

“Starknet is back online and fully operational,” the team behind the Ethereum layer-2 network posted on X. The team warned that transactions were sent between 9:24 a.m. and 9:42 a.m. UTC could have been affected, and said a full retrospective, including a detailed timeline, root cause analysis and long-term prevention measures, will be published at a later date.

Downtime can have knock-on effects across decentralized finance and other onchain applications, including stalled swaps, delayed withdrawals and difficulty updating positions. It can also disrupt sequencer-based networks, where transaction ordering and block production depend on a smaller set of operators than on Ethereum itself.

CoinDesk reached out to the team for comment but did not hear back in time for publication.

The price of its native token, STRK, remains little changed according to CoinMarketCap, up at just 1.92% over the last 24 hours.


UPDATE (JAN 5, 2026 - 16:11 UTC): Updates story to reflect that the outage has ended.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

Commissioned byKuCoin

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.

需要了解的:

  • KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
  • This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
  • Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
  • Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
  • Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Bitcoin Rainbow chart predicts BTC price for October 1, 2025

Bitcoin Rainbow chart predicts BTC price for October 1, 2025

The post Bitcoin Rainbow chart predicts BTC price for October 1, 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Bitcoin (BTC) Rainbow Chart has outlined potential price ranges for October 1, 2025, as the asset seeks to reclaim the $120,000 resistance. Throughout September, the maiden cryptocurrency has struggled to push past the $115,000 support zone. At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $115,950, up 0.15% in the past 24 hours and gaining a modest 0.5% over the past week. Bitcoin seven-day price chart. Source: Finbold Looking ahead to October 1, the Rainbow Chart projects that Bitcoin’s price could fall within a broad band of $36,628 to $409,726, depending on prevailing market sentiment. The Rainbow Chart, a long-term valuation model often used to track Bitcoin’s price cycles, is built as a logarithmic regression chart. It color-codes Bitcoin’s valuation bands, offering investors a simplified way to gauge whether the market is undervalued or overheated. Bitcoin price prediction  The lowest tier, labeled “Basically a Fire Sale,” spans from $36,628 to $47,947. Above that, the “BUY!” zone ranges from $47,947 to $64,777, while “Accumulate” covers $64,777 to $83,811. The “Still Cheap” band sets Bitcoin between $83,811 and $108,471, followed by the neutral “HODL!” zone at $108,471 to $142,332. Bitcoin Rainbow chart.

In this case, the “Is this a bubble?” range extends from $142,332 to $181,644, while “FOMO intensifies” lies between $181,644 and $233,215. On the other hand, the red zones, seen as overheated territory, start with “Sell. Seriously, SELL!” at $233,215 to $304,169 and peak with “Maximum Bubble Territory” from $304,169 to $409,726. With Bitcoin trading around $116,000 as of September 20, the Rainbow Chart suggests that by October 1, 2025, the asset will most likely fall within the “Still Cheap” or “HODL!” bands, implying a fair value between $83,811 and $142,332. This outlook indicates that despite Bitcoin’s strong gains, the model places…
