Aster (ASTER)

In the first half of last year, What I said most often in the small group was, gradually replace ethereum:0xca14007eff0db1f8135f4c25b34de49ab0d42766 with memecore:native. In the past two months, in the group, I said I'm bullish again on aster-2:native: · (May) Still bullish, you can allocate 10% of your position to test the volatility of hyperliquid:native. · (June) Still bullish, you can allocate 10% of your position to test the volatility of o1-exchange:native. ———————————— Looking at ASTER in the long term, I believe there will be upward fluctuations, just like Binance's journey, when it keeps crashing, I say don't liquidate, there will be upward fluctuations. ———————————— Suppose you really like a man, but that man, when he accepts you, still has someone else on his mind during those months, so you definitely won't get what you want. But after a year and a half, five or ten years, when that other person leaves, you will eventually get, but I keep moving forward, I will not look back.

Imagine announcing a new, aggressive buyback plan on your token just to see it pump and then dump right back to where it was before the announcement 🤣 Sometimes the market be like, "Nah, bruh, you were already fairly priced" https://t.co/QiLOxheonH

This is worst than solana meme - $aster https://t.co/GOaEaYuf0W

Took a look at O, and then at Aster 🥵 Aster won't start with a 5 this time, right? Who exactly is dumping? aster-2:native? https://t.co/YG7QgBLZZl

🔥ASTER and the supply problem: Is the upcoming unlock truly a risk, or has the story changed since June? aster-2:native is the most interesting case among this season's perpDEXs, perhaps only after $HYPE. The project team has changed the tokenomics twice within a few months. 🔴According to the original tokenomics, ASTER has a max supply of 8B tokens, allocated into 5 groups: - Airdrop: 53.5% (~4.28B) - 8.8% of total supply (704M tokens) unlocks immediately at TGE on 17/9/2025, the remainder vests gradually over 80 months. - Ecosystem & Community: 30% (~2.4B) - originally designed to unlock linearly over 20 months. - Treasury: 7% (~560M) - fully locked, only changes with project team consent. - Team: 5% (~400M) - 12‑month cliff, then linear vesting over 40 months. - Liquidity & Listing: 4.5% (~360M). To date, about 32% of total supply has unlocked, FDV ~5B at a price around $0.65. 🔴Two mechanism changes affect the investment thesis for aster-2:native: 📌1. The first was in March 2026, cutting 97% of ecosystem emission - The initial model for the Ecosystem & C

Can $aster compete with $hype in buyback power? Prepared and presented by: @dr0chart Article author: Omar Al-Alwani The digital currency sector is witnessing increasing competition among projects that rely on buyback mechanisms to support token value and boost investor confidence. Among these projects, Aster and HYPE stand out, sparking a broad discussion about Aster’s ability to match the purchasing power of its rival. Buyback Power Comparison Available data shows that the Aster project directs up to 99% of collected fees toward buybacks and burns, resulting in a daily buying power of roughly $215,000. In contrast, the HYPE project records a daily buyback power of about $2.1 million, roughly ten times the current buyback size of Aster. This large gap reflects the higher activity and liquidity available in the HYPE ecosystem, but it does not necessarily make medium‑ or long‑term competition impossible. Can Aster narrow the gap? Figures indicate that Aster only needs to increase its daily trading volume by about 2.2‑fold to reach a buyback power comparable to HYPE. If user growth continues and platform activity rises, this could directly lead to: - Higher daily buyback amounts. - Reduced circulating token supply. - Support for long‑term price stability. - Strengthened investor and community confidence in the project. Investment Perspective Buyback programs are important tools that digital projects use to support asset value, yet a project's success does not rely on this mechanism alone. It also depends on factors such as: - Actual active user base. - Sustainable revenue. - Market liquidity. - Partnerships and future expansion. - Technical innovation and product development. Conclusion Although HYPE currently leads by a clear margin in daily buyback power, Aster has a realistic opportunity to narrow this gap if it can double its activity and trading volume in the coming period. The key question remaining for investors and followers is: Will Aster be able to turn this potential growth into genuine purchasing power that can compete with HYPE in the future?

$ASTER just burned 5B tokens and threw 99% of fees at buybacks. Has any protocol run the 99% buyback desperation play and survived long-term, or is this just an SOS to the chart?
