With the version 3 Starlink satellites, which start launching on Starship in 6 to 9 months, we should be able to get latency below 20ms. The new, much larger satellites will be at ~350km instead of ~550km altitude, which cuts latency due to speed of light down to ~5ms. Also,

Elon Musk's latest Starlink update had all the market impact of a satellite drifting silently through space. ETH barely flinched: down 0.04% in 1 minute, 0.05% in 5, and a flat 0.00% by 10. DOGE wobbled upward by 0.23% over 10 minutes, while GORK dipped 0.66% initially before rebounding 0.28%. Compared to past posts, this was a snooze: historical Starlink announcements triggered ETH swings up to 0.50% and GORK spikes over 6%. Even DOGE’s 0.23% "rally" was a rounding error next to its 0.96% jump in May. The only thing faster than light latency is the market’s ability to ignore it when the tweet lacks rockets or Mars.
