📊 24H High/Low: $4.15 / $2.83 | Market Cap: $1.33 billion

📈 Current Price: $0.93 | Change: +15.70%
📊 24H High/Low: $0.93 / $0.808 | Market Cap: $472 million
💡 Starknet experienced an on-chain rollback of about 18 minutes on Monday due to conflicts between execution and proof layers.

Market expectations of technological improvements and ecosystem growth have supported recent gains.
📊 Market Summary
The current crypto market shows a structural upward trend, with payment-focused public chain (DASH), AI infrastructure (Story), Ethereum L2 ecosystem (OP, STRK ), and Meme coins (PEPE) all rising to varying degrees. Market hotspots are shifting from traditional public chains to application layers and ecosystem innovation.
