Aster maintained strong upward momentum this week, defying the broader market trend. The token has surged by an impressive 28% in the past 24 hours, while the sector’s leader, Bitcoin, dropped by 13% in the same timeframe.
The bullish price action comes as traders continue rotating into the token despite widespread pressure across the broader market. A prominent investor known as 0xMo.eth disclosed that he moved more than $2 million in Ethereum to BNB Chain to buy Aster during repeated dips.
He characterized the purchase as nearly 30% of his ETH portfolio, underscoring a long-term commitment to the project. Market sentiment strengthened further after Binance founder Changpeng Zhao publicly responded to the post, intensifying speculation about deeper institutional involvement.
Moreover, ongoing discussions within investor circles suggest that BlackRock may be tracking developments around Aster. Although no formal confirmation exists, the speculation added another layer of momentum at a time when Aster’s infrastructure continues to record expanding usage. According to community data, AsterDEX is generating millions in daily revenue, supported by one of the highest decentralized exchange volumes across any network.

With a daily trading volume exceeding $1 billion, it placed ASTER alongside or above major assets such as Cardano (ADA), TRON (TRX), Sui (SUI), and Litecoin (LTC), despite those networks commanding valuations three to ten times larger. Furthermore, Aster’s market capitalization hovers near $2.71 billion, yet its liquidity profile signals strong interest from day traders seeking high-velocity opportunities.
At the same time, new chart assessments revealed increasing bullish signals. Market analyst Captain Faibik highlighted a descending channel setup on the ASTER/USDT chart, noting that the token is attempting to break the upper boundary of the structure. His projection included an upside target of roughly 55%, which could lead to a new all-time high if momentum carries through.
Bold Community Aster Predictions Surface
Community commentary added to the rising enthusiasm. Crypto influencer JakeGagain issued a series of ambitious forecasts, claiming that Aster could become the top perpetuals DEX, the leading privacy-oriented token, and ultimately a top-ten asset. He also suggested that Aster might surpass HyperLiquid, one of the more active decentralized derivatives platforms.
Meanwhile, Aster addressed concerns regarding recent token unlock data displayed on CoinMarketCap. The listings suggested upcoming unlocks of 200 million tokens in late 2025 and large releases in 2035. The team clarified that the data corrected long-standing supply records and highlighted vesting allocations that had never entered circulation.
CoinGecko reports 2.017 billion ASTER in circulation, with an additional 6.06 billion locked, resulting in a market cap of roughly $2.7 billion and a fully diluted valuation exceeding $10.9 billion.
