DeFiLlama Delists Aster Perpetuals Data After Binance-Like Volume Patterns

The move reflects concerns that Aster’s reported volumes mirror Binance’s almost exactly.

Defillama delists aster perp volumes over suspected wash trading
DeFiLlama flags Aster for suspected wash trading and moves to delist perps volume data

Overview

  • DeFiLlama’s 0xngmi said Aster’s perp pairs, including XRPUSDT and ETHUSDT, showed near 1:1 correlation with Binance volumes, triggering removal from the site.
  • The platform said it cannot confirm wash trading without order-level execution data from Aster and characterized the action as a precaution.
  • The ASTER token dropped about 10% to roughly $1.8 in the 24 hours after the announcement, indicating a swift market reaction.
  • The decision arrives days before Aster’s Phase 2 airdrop on October 10, as Arkham flagged whale wallet 0xfE5A buying 1.69 million ASTER.
  • DeFiLlama noted it had previously pulled Aster revenue data and cannot attach warning labels via its API, emphasizing data integrity and citing similar past removals.
