The Aster price jumped 3% in the last 24 hours to trade at $2.06 on a 51% increase in trading volume to $1.49 billion.
This surge in the ASTER price was fueled by news that Binance listed the token today with a “seed tag,” signaling it’s an innovative but high-risk asset. Trading began at 12:00 UTC in USDT, USDC, and TRY pairs, while deposits opened at 9:00 UTC.

AFter spot trading started, ASTER was removed from Binance’s Alpha Market, and users will have 24 hours to move their tokens from Alpha to Spot accounts. The token, built on BNB Chain, had soared 1,500% in September after Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, aka CZ, endorsed it.
Earlier in the day there was controversy when DefiLlama announced it would delist Aster’s perpetual volume data, shocking both investors and traders. The sudden move came after DefiLlama flagged “integrity concerns” about Aster’s reported trading activity, sparking deeper questions around the platform’s transparency and volume origins.

The decision to remove Aster’s perpetual futures data stemmed from findings that its trading volumes showed an “almost perfect” correlation with centralised exchange Binance.
Experts said this unusual pattern raised red flags and could be a signal of data manipulation or potential wash trading to appear more popular than it really is.

Aster Trading Volume Tops $108 Billion As Activity Rises
Aster, a decentralized perpetual exchange, has reached a total trading volume of $108 billion, according to data from Token Terminal. The milestone shows how quickly Aster is growing as more traders use its platform in 2025.
The chart shows that Aster’s trading volume has gone through several big spikes since mid-2023. The largest jumps came in early 2024 and again in September 2025. The recent rise suggests that traders are returning to Aster as interest in decentralized trading increases.
From March to May 2024, Aster saw strong daily volumes between $2 billion and $4 billion. Although trading slowed in mid-2025, activity has now picked up sharply. Analysts say this could be because of new partnerships and more liquidity being added to Aster’s pools.
The $108 billion total volume highlights how decentralized finance (DeFi) continues to mature. Many users now prefer DeFi for its transparency and control over funds.
Aster Price At Key Inflexion Point
Technical analysis for ASTERUSDT shows the price sitting just above $2.04, having tumbled after the delisting shock. The chart reveals a consolidation zone between the support line near $1.85 and the resistance around the recent high at $2.43.
Aster’s price is clinging to a rising support trendline, and each time it has bounced from this area, quick recoveries have followed. However, the latest candles show hesitation, with the price stalling just under the previous high.

The current RSI sits at 64.86, suggesting the coin is not yet overbought, but the uptrend is fragile.
The next moves are crucial. If ASTER maintains its rising support and breaks above $2.43, it could target a significant move higher, possibly up to $3.85, a potential 89% gain. This scenario would likely need strong buyer interest and confidence returning to the market.
On the flip side, a confirmed breakdown below support could push the coin price back toward $1.50 or lower, as support buyers lose conviction.
Traders are watching for clarity. As long as the Aster price stays above the rising support and regains trust, a rebound is possible. But any new signs of integrity issues could see another sharp downside move.
