Overview
- ASTER fell roughly 15–19% this week and is retesting the $1.45–$1.50 demand zone, with technicians watching ~$1.32 on a breakdown and ~$2 as the hurdle for recovery.
- Aster acknowledged Stage 2, Epoch 3 airdrop dashboard errors affecting Team Boost rewards and said adjustments are forthcoming.
- Claims of extraordinary trading volume remain contested, with Aster-touted totals outpacing Dune and DeFiLlama figures even as some reports cite ~$82B daily and ~$494B in 30-day activity.
- On-chain transfers to Binance-linked wallets sparked unconfirmed speculation of a spot listing, and neither Binance nor Aster has announced such a listing.
- Supply and concentration risks persist, including two wallets holding about 132.78 million ASTER (~8% of supply) and a scheduled Oct. 17 unlock of roughly 183.1 million tokens that could increase sell pressure, with vesting reportedly under consideration.
