What to know:

- 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.

Michigan’s Stalled Reserve Bill Advances After 7 Months
The post Michigan’s Stalled Reserve Bill Advances After 7 Months appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. After seven months of inactivity, Michigan’s Bitcoin Reserve Bill, HB 4087, made progress Thursday by advancing to the second reading in the state House of Representatives. The bill, introduced in February, aims to establish a strategic bitcoin BTC$115,427.11 reserve by authorizing the state treasury to invest up to 10% of its reserves in the largest cryptocurrency and possibly others. It has now been referred to the Committee on Government Operations. If approved, Michigan would join the three states — Texas, New Hampshire and Arizona — that have enacted bitcoin reserve laws. While Texas allocated $10 million to purchase BTC in June, the other two have yet to fund the reserve with state money. Recently, the U.S. House directed the Treasury Department to study the feasibility and governance of a strategic bitcoin reserve, including key areas such as custody, cybersecurity and accounting standards. Sovereign adoption of bitcoin has emerged as one of the defining trends of 2025, with several U.S. states and countries considering or implementing BTC reserves as part of their public finance strategy. That’s in addition to the growing corporate adoption of bitcoin in company treasuries. This institutional embrace has contributed to a significant boost in bitcoin’s market valuation. The BTC price has increased 25% this year, and touched a record high near $124,500 in August, CoinDesk data show. Despite the enthusiasm, skeptics remain concerned about the risks posed by bitcoin’s notorious price volatility.
