As Starknet gears up for its highly anticipated STRK token airdrop on Feb. 20th, the perpetual futures market for STRK is witnessing a surge in trading activity.&nbsp; 
The anticipation of the airdrop has injected volatility into the trading of <a href="https://app.aevo.xyz/perpetual/strk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">STRK-USD futures</a>. The current mark price for STRK hovers around $1.78, reflecting a subtle 24-hour price decline of 1.14%. 
Despite this slight downtrend, the market’s sentiment doesn’t appear to be dampened, as indicated by the past day’s buy/sell volume ratio, where buy orders outweigh sell orders at 55% to 45%. This could suggest that traders are optimistic about the STRK’s prospects post-airdrop.
