Starknet Hit by New Mainnet Outage Reliability Back in Focus
Starknet experienced fresh mainnet downtime as 2026 begins, with engineers investigating the issue after the network remained offline for several hours. The exact cause has not yet been disclosed, though services are being restored.
This isn’t an isolated event. Starknet faced multiple outages in 2025, including a major upgrade failure that halted block production and forced transaction resubmissions. While $STRK price stayed relatively stable, repeated disruptions raise questions around infrastructure reliability.
For traders and investors, uptime now matters as much as innovation. As markets mature, capital favors networks that deliver stability, not just scalability. Execution risk is becoming a real pricing factor for Layer-2 tokens.

Visa-Issued Crypto Card Spending Jumps 525% in 2025
Spending with crypto-linked Visa cards exploded by 525% in 2025. That’s not a typo. Digital assets are starting to blend into daily life #not just the wild world of trading. Sure, crypto prices bounced all over the place this year, but regular people still found new ways to use their coins outside the markets.
This isn’t about people buying coffee with Bitcoin directly. What’s really behind the surge is how easily crypto wallets now connect to regular payment systems. Stablecoins, instant conversions to cash, and tighter compliance rules have turned these cards from crypto experiments into everyday tools. For most users, it’s dead simple: tap your card, pay, and move on. No wallet addresses. No gas fees. Just another payment, powered by blockchain in the background.
Geography plays a big role too. In countries where local currencies wobble or banks put up too many barriers, crypto cards turned into lifelines for daily spending, travel, even online shopping. Merchants barely noticed a difference Visa’s network handled everything, so stores didn’t have to jump through any new hoops.
The bigger takeaway? Crypto’s story is changing. Even as the market cooled off, the real-world infrastructure kept gaining ground. Payments are quietly becoming crypto’s killer app not because of hype, but because they work. No bull market required.
A 525% jump doesn’t mean crypto just killed off cash or plastic. But it’s a clear signal: crypto isn’t waiting around for mainstream acceptance anymore. At least when it comes to payments, adoption’s already here. It’s just happening one tap at a time.
$RIVER /USDT is in a strong bullish trend, trading far above EMA 20 / 50 / 200, with momentum extended. Price is overbought on both 1H (RSI 82.19) and 4H (RSI 71.92), indicating a high probability of minor pullbacks, but the overall trend remains bullish.

Bullish bias remains valid while price stays above the EMA20/50 support zone, favoring continuation higher rather than a full reversal. Short-term pullbacks may occur, but dips are ideal for entry.
On the 1H chart, price is trading well above EMA 20 / 50 / 200 (14.247 / 13.720 / 10.699). The EMA stack is bullish, and the upward momentum is strong, though RSI shows overextension, signaling caution for chasing longs.
On the 4H chart, price is above EMA 20 / 50 / 200 (13.447 / 10.884 / 6.897) with RSI at 71.92, confirming the bullish trend while also warning of short-term pullback risk
