  2. Crypto Trader Profits $1M on Starknet, Shifts Focus to JUST Token — this brief

A cryptocurrency trader who reportedly made a $1 million paper profit from a Starknet (STRK) trade has now shifted focus to the JUST (JST) token. This move comes amid a broader market downturn, with Bitcoin down 1.41% in the last 24 hours.

Starknet's Total Value Locked (TVL) has seen a significant increase of 47.3% over the past week, reaching $468.89 million, according to DeFiLlama. This rise in TVL suggests growing interest and investment in the Starknet ecosystem.

The trader’s decision to shift focus to JUST (JST) could be influenced by the token's recent performance. Despite a slight 0.23% dip in the last 24 hours, JST has managed a 0.34% gain over the past week. Its current market cap stands at $1.12 billion.

The broader crypto market remains in a state of flux, with the total market cap at $2.84 trillion. The Fear & Greed Index currently sits at 57, indicating a 'Greed' sentiment, which suggests investors are still optimistic despite the recent downturn.

This development underscores the potential for significant short-term gains in the crypto market, even amidst volatility. Traders and investors will likely watch the performance of both Starknet and JUST closely in the coming days.
