Trading Metrics Show Strong Growth
The platform crossed $1 trillion in total trading volume within two weeks of launch. This represents an average of over $70 billion in daily trading activity.
Open interest increased 8.89% to $1.37 billion according to CoinGlass data. The expansion in derivatives markets aligns with the technical breakout pattern.
A whale spent $5 million USDT to purchase 2.74 million ASTER tokens. This brought the whale’s total holdings to 3.07 million tokens worth approximately $5.95 million.
The large purchase occurred as ASTER tested resistance between $1.80 and $1.87. Technical analysts consider this zone critical for near-term price direction.
Exchange Listing Speculation
On-chain data from October 1-2, 2025 showed multiple ASTER token transfers to Binance-linked spot trading wallets. BSCScan data indicates the transfers began with a test deposit of 20 tokens.

Larger movements followed, totaling millions of dollars. The transfer patterns match historical activity seen before major exchange listings.
Market observers anticipate a possible Binance spot listing as soon as October 4, 2025. Neither Binance nor Aster has confirmed a spot listing.
ASTER currently trades on Binance futures and Alpha platforms. A spot listing would expand liquidity and access for retail traders beyond futures-only availability.
The speculation followed an endorsement from CZ. Experts suggest the wallet transfers could represent a test phase before a potential listing.
Chart patterns suggest a $4 price target based on the recent technical setup. A breakout above the $1.80-$1.87 resistance zone would eliminate major overhead resistance.
Bulls cite strong trading volume and stable support levels as reasons for confidence. The platform maintained support during recent market volatility.
BSCScan data continues to track wallet activity as traders watch for official listing announcements.
