Starlink's global reach just hit a major milestone. According to the latest Cloudflare data, the satellite internet network's traffic more than surged throughout 2025, riding on explosive user adoption across markets worldwide.

The numbers tell the story: active users jumped to approximately 8 million across over 150 countries, nearly doubling from the 4 million user base recorded in 2024. That's not just growth—it's the kind of infrastructure expansion that's reshaping global connectivity.

For the Web3 space, this matters. Better internet access in underserved regions means more potential users tapping into decentralized networks, DeFi platforms, and blockchain applications. As we continue building a borderless digital economy, reliable global connectivity isn't a luxury—it's becoming essential infrastructure.

8 million users doubling, now even brothers in the mountains can play DeFi? That's pretty impressive. Starlink is everywhere, Web3 finally doesn't have to rely only on city internet cafes anymore, really. Now underserved areas can trade freely, bringing us one step closer to a borderless economy. Doubling in growth sounds simple, but behind it, how many people finally have internet access? Infrastructure upgrades = more on-chain users. I just want to see how high this wave will push the coin prices. Wait, no, can Starlink's latency be acceptable? DeFi slippage might explode... Coverage in 150 countries—this is true global infrastructure, more effective than any political alliance. Satellite internet might be unstable; will the next crash be blamed on network issues again? It feels like the last piece of the Web3 puzzle is about to be completed, just missing the hardware infrastructure part.
