Big unlocks every month, a selling reserve, no burn.
STRK runs Starknet, a network built on Ethereum: 7.42B of its 10B coins circulate, about 74% unlocked. New coins come from unlocks, a team reserve and staking pay.
Sell pressure. In 90 days 381M unlocked for early backers, a team reserve wallet sent out 300M, and 39.0M new STRK paid stakers. Monthly unlocks run to Mar 15 2027.
Buy pressure. Nothing takes STRK off the market: fees are not burned and there is no buyback.
Net. Net, supply grows about 9.70% in 90 days, and about 8.48% next.
Stakers are paid in brand-new STRK. The coins are minted on Ethereum in blocks of 1.3M about every three days and sent to the staking rewards contract: 30 mints in these 90 days, 39.0M STRK in all. The yearly rate rises with the amount staked (1.42B STRK at the start, 1.57B now) and is about 159.7M STRK a year today.
Early contributors and investors get up to 127M STRK on the 15th of every month until Mar 15 2027. Three of those dates fell in these 90 days (Jul 15, Aug 15 and Sep 15 2026), and three more fall in the next 90 (Oct 15, Nov 15 and Dec 15 2026). About 762M STRK is still locked after September.
A team reserve wallet sent out 300M STRK in this window: 100M on Jul 28 and 200M on Sep 10 2026, routed through two wallets and onto Starknet. It has released coins seven times in the last 12 months (849.6M in all), so the next 90 days carry its yearly pace, about 209.5M. It still holds 950M. Two team safes hold 1.0B and 83.6M STRK and did not move. There is no buyback wallet.
No estate, trustee or court case holds STRK. The coins still locked belong to the monthly contributor and investor unlocks above.
No contract, foundation or company buys STRK back. Fees go to the network's operator, not to a buyback.
Starknet fees are paid in STRK but are not destroyed. The dead addresses on both chains held the same tiny balance at both ends of the window, and the total supply only went up.
No announcement or on-chain flow this window shows the foundation or any team wallet buying STRK.
Staking grew from 1.42B to 1.57B STRK this window, and a liquid staking option opened on Jul 28 2026. But staked STRK can leave in 7 days and still counts as circulating, so it takes nothing out of the float.
Two sides: how much people want STRK right now, and how much buying could come later.
This part is based on social media. It shows how hot STRK is right now. A better rank means more people are talking about it.
Today, people are talking about STRK for two reasons:
On Oct 8 2026 the team said it is "actively considering" becoming an L1, aiming to be the first fully quantum-resistant network by 2027. STRK went from about $0.049 to a high near $0.127 on Oct 11, then fell back to about $0.079 by Oct 14. People ask if the plan is real or just a story that pumped the price.
This is part of the monthly release to early team members and investors that runs until Mar 15 2027. At about $0.079, the batch is worth roughly $10 million, and it lands right after a fast run-up. People ask whether the people getting these coins will sell into the bounce.
Checked Oct 14 2026
Based on the law of supply and demand, the long-run signal for Starknet is negative. As of Oct 15 2026, score 3.5/10, Starknet faces +8.48% new supply over 90 days, with demand moderate (3/5). Starknet's price drivers: 1 ▲ price up, 1 ▼ price down.
Arbitrum looks a step ahead, scoring 4.5/10 to Starknet's 3/10 (Oct 10 2026). Starknet adds +8.48% new supply in 90 days versus Arbitrum's +4.73%. Arbitrum's demand also reads stronger, 4/5 against 2.5/5. Our supply-and-demand read for Starknet stays negative.
New supply is the main weight: +8.48% in 90 days and +23.87% over the next year. Demand reads only modest (2.5/5), and BTC staked fell about 70% from its Dec 31 2025 peak. The bright spot is staked STRK, up more than tenfold since Dec 31 2024. That leaves Starknet's long-run signal at negative, by supply and demand.
Today the signal is negative. Supply and demand would point the other way for Starknet if new supply keeps arriving (+8.48% in 90 days), or demand falls from moderate, or BTC staked keeps pointing down.
On our framework Starknet scores 3.5/10 (Oct 15 2026), with supply 0.5/5 (flooding) and demand 3/5. In the next year Starknet's supply changes +23.87%, so the long-run signal reads negative.
The law of supply and demand points to one window for Starknet: low new supply, high demand, drivers pointing up. Where Starknet stands today: +8.48% new supply in 90 days (flooding), demand moderate (3/5), drivers 1 ▲ / 1 ▼.

Starknet reads negative at 3.5/10; Bitcoin reads positive at 8.5/10 (Oct 15 2026). On supply and demand, Starknet looks weaker than Bitcoin today.
Every answer here applies basic economic theory — the law of supply and demand — to this coin's data. It is not financial advice. How we read every coin →
We look at two things, half each: supply and demand. Fewer new coins mean less selling pressure. A meme coin scores 1.5 at most on supply: its team got its coins for free, so no new supply does not make it safe. We also show each coin's age, with a warning when it is younger than 1 year. Demand looks at how much people want the coin now and how much buying could come later. Price Drivers (Beta) are the 2 or 3 things that can move one coin's price that supply and demand miss; they have no score. STRK supply grows +8.48% in the next 90 days, so it shows in red: more STRK reaches the market than is removed. Zero or falling supply is always green, any growth is red.
One email before each big supply event, and the day our verdict changes. Nothing else. You can watch 2 coins for free.
