Starlink delivered impressive results throughout 2025, onboarding 4.6 million fresh users and bringing total global connectivity to 9.2 million active subscribers. The satellite internet platform expanded into 35 additional countries, making serious progress on its mission to connect the world's remote regions.

This aggressive expansion matters for the broader Web3 ecosystem—reliable global connectivity is foundational for decentralized applications, cross-border transactions, and peer-to-peer networks operating in underserved areas. As direct-to-cell capabilities go mainstream internationally, the infrastructure layer supporting crypto adoption and DeFi access keeps getting stronger, especially for regions previously locked out of traditional financial rails.

Wow, Starlink's data is really impressive... Remote areas can now get internet, and crypto has a chance to break out of the circle.

Uh, starlink's data is indeed impressive, but 9.2M users are still too small compared to the global scale... However, infrastructure is truly the key to Web3; if you can't connect to the internet, everything else is pointless lol

4.6 million new users, 9.2 million subscribers... Starlink's speed is a bit crazy, remote areas can now get internet, and DeFi truly has a chance.

Wow, 9.2 million users? Now people in remote areas can really use blockchain, no longer excluded from the financial system. Starlink is definitely paving the way for Web3. By the way, when will I be able to use it here? 4.6 million new users... this growth rate is truly incredible. The infrastructure of DeFi is finally less worrisome. Entering 35 new countries, it seems the wave of globalization is unstoppable. Just not sure how regulators in different countries will react. This is the power of infrastructure—without the internet, everything is pointless.
