Aster (ASTER) begins spot trading on Coinbase (ASTER-USD) on November 21. Rising funding rates, cleared short positions and strong technical and derivatives indicators point to a possible bullish, liquidity-driven breakout as U.S. traders gain access.

Aster's perpetual DEX is introducing 'Machi Mode,' a gamified points program that rewards traders for being liquidated, retroactively and going forward. The feature honors top liquidated trader Machi Big Brother and mirrors crypto's high‑risk, leaderboard‑driven culture.

Aster (ASTER) experienced significant volatility, dropping over 20% despite Binance's former CEO Changpeng Zhao's endorsement. The "Anti-CZ Whale" profited over $21 million by shorting ASTER after CZ's purchase, with total open gains from various shorts nearing $100 million.

ASTER token surged after Binance founder Changpeng Zhao bought 2 million tokens, sparking speculative demand and reaching a two-week high. However, two major crypto whales opened $71 million in short positions against ASTER, increasing market volatility and speculation.

ASTER's token briefly plunged due to false rumors of a sell-off by Binance's Changpeng Zhao but recovered after on-chain data showed it was just a wallet transfer, with the price now at $0.9823 and a market cap of $1.98 billion.

ASTER DEX has announced a major buyback program using up to 80% of fees from Season 3 to stabilize its token value amid volatility. Despite this initiative, $ASTER has dropped 30% in 30 days, trading near $1.07, with concerns the buyback might not counteract bearish trends.

Aster has launched "Rocket Launch," a new initiative aimed at supporting early-stage crypto projects by connecting them with traders. The program focuses on liquidity, trading, and long-term value, offering rewards like $200,000 in $ASTER for participation, thereby enhancing market exposure and ecosystem growth.

Aster (ASTER) has experienced a significant decline, dropping almost 40% in the past month and trading below $1 due to retail exits and weak market conditions, raising concerns of a further drop to $0.89 amidst investor skepticism and technical setbacks.

Aster has been relisted on DefiLlama but lacks historical data, raising concerns about transparency in DeFi analytics. While its strong trading performance persists, the incomplete data renews debates over market visibility and the evolution of data systems without impairing innovation.
