- Starknet’s token price plunged sharply as major cryptocurrencies dropped to critical support levels.
- On November 18, 2025, STRK fell roughly 20%, touching a low of $0.17.
- STRK’s decline accompanied a broader slide that pushed Bitcoin down to lows near $89,500.
Starknet’s native token fell as crypto markets weakened on Monday, November 17, 2025, with bears extending the sell-off into Tuesday. STRK dropped about 20% to a low of $0.17.
At the time of writing, STRK had declined approximately 14% over 24 hours to around $0.19. This pullback contrasted with gains in assets such as Internet Computer and Hyperliquid.
Notably, the altcoin’s movement mirrored losses seen in top privacy coin Zcash, which had previously posted substantial gains.
Starknet tumbles 20% amid broader crypto rout
The price of Starknet plunged as the crypto market experienced a sharp downturn on November 17. Multiple drivers, including macroeconomic concerns and geopolitical tensions, triggered selling pressure in major assets that cascaded into altcoins.
For example, market bellwether Bitcoin fell more than 4%, sliding to lows around $89,500.
These moves reduced global market capitalization to about $3.13 trillion. Trading volume on November 18 rose more than 45% to exceed $247 billion, and Ethereum dropped to lows near $3,000.
XRP, BNB and Solana also posted steep losses, and liquidations worldwide surpassed $1 billion.
Starknet, which had benefited from recent interest in privacy and layer-2 projects, followed the market lower. The zero-knowledge proof-based layer-2 solution saw STRK tumble from a recent high of $0.22 down to $0.17. The roughly 20% drop erased much of the token’s recent 50% rally.
As the chart below shows, Starknet had recorded four consecutive daily green candlesticks and reached intraday highs near $0.24 before Monday’s sell-off. After the decline, the token’s weekly gains have narrowed to about 22%.

Has STRK finished its drop?
Observers note that Starknet’s fundamentals remain relatively solid: total value locked (TVL) remains above $340 million. However, the token’s correlation with Bitcoin exposes it to the flagship coin’s volatility.
The timing of the sell-off was especially unfortunate for Starknet.
This week the project unveiled a multi-million-dollar program aimed at Bitcoin staking. The initiative seeks to bridge Ethereum and Bitcoin ecosystems through Starknet’s BTCFi offering.
As selling pressure persists in crypto markets, finding a floor near $0.16–$0.17 will be crucial for bulls. If that support holds, STRK could target $0.24 and potentially revisit higher yearly highs such as $0.78. In the short term, a key psychological objective remains the $1 mark.
Starknet’s Bitcoin integration gives the platform a distinct position for cross-chain growth. Improvements in layer-2 efficiency and ongoing Ethereum upgrades that support DeFi expansion on Bitcoin add to the bullish narrative.
Nevertheless, near-term risks persist. A prolonged Bitcoin downturn or renewed broad-market selling could press sellers to drive prices lower.
Bulls can point to STRK’s recovery since its all-time low below $0.04 on October 10, 2025: despite the recent slide, the token remains roughly 305% above that bottom.
