刘禹锡的币记本

According to @AB_KuaiDong news, multiple parties have confirmed that Aster repurchased current and future unlocked portions of KOL & media round tokens at a 5% discount.
This means the team is actively absorbing potential selling pressure, trying to stabilize the market.
Let me share some key data with you:
The platform has accumulated fee revenue of approximately $277 million.

Current TVL ≈ $1.839 billion.
There are also reports mentioning that the team has repurchased 100 million ASTER in the market, with a valuation exceeding $140 million.

From the data, Aster is not just 'slogans'; it genuinely has cash flow support.
In the short term, this step is equivalent to preemptively 'locking in sell orders', which is favorable for the price.

As global tech giants burn money like water in the arms race for the computing power of general large models, a silent yet more disruptive transformation is quietly rising from the 'margins' — specialized language models (SLM) are becoming the next main battlefield of AI evolution.
In this emerging track, the project named OpenLedger has won an investment of 8 million dollars from top crypto capitals such as Polychain Capital and Framework Ventures with its innovative structure of 'data rights confirmation + automatic profit distribution', quickly rising to become the focus of the integration of AI and blockchain. This is not only a preference of capital but also a profound reflection and reconstruction of the existing AI production relations.

During this period of deep involvement in $OPEN token trading and the OpenLedger ecosystem construction, my understanding of this track has gradually become clearer. Choosing to become an early ecological participant was not a random decision, but rather based on a deep assessment of the three core dimensions of track trends, technological architecture, and economic models.
1. Track Trends: Decentralized AI is an inevitable choice of the era
Currently, AI technology is reshaping global industries in a disruptive manner, but the development model of centralized AI is gradually exposing its shortcomings: major enterprises control core data and model permissions, leading to a high concentration of power; user data faces leakage risks during training and application phases, making privacy security difficult to guarantee; the model decision-making process is opaque, and 'black box operations' have triggered a crisis of trust.

A blockchain specifically designed for real-world assets is allowing trillions of dollars of fixed assets to flow freely in the crypto world. This is not only an evolution of finance but also a digital migration of asset souls.
In the traditional financial world, up to $16 trillion in assets are locked in the reality of insufficient liquidity—real estate takes months to complete transactions, private equity investments require years to exit, and art collections can only wait for the right person.
The emergence of Plume Network is attempting to break down the wall that stands between traditional assets and the blockchain world. It is not just a technology platform; it is a carefully designed financial theater, allowing real-world assets (RWA) to don the attire of tokens and gain liquidity and composability of crypto assets.

When BlackRock tokenized $2 billion in government bonds and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority issued new energy asset tokens, the integration of real-world assets (RWA) and decentralized finance (DeFi) transitioned from concept to a hundred billion level market—by 2025, the global on-chain RWA asset scale will reach $29.52 billion, expanding at an annual growth rate of 178%. However, behind this prosperity, the three barriers of 'complex tokenization, regulatory challenges, and illiquid assets' continue to obstruct the large-scale penetration of RWA like the 'Berlin Wall'. The Plume network incubated by Altlayer uses a modular Layer 2 architecture as a 'wrecking ball' to reconstruct the operational logic of RWA finance (RWAFI) through native infrastructure, allowing physical assets to truly enter the core of the DeFi ecosystem.

In the cryptocurrency market, the saying "buy the rumor, sell the news" is no longer a secret—cases where rumors of Immutable's upgraded economic model resulted in a preemptive surge in token prices, only to plummet after the official announcement, are a classic example of this logic. When 90% of price volatility stems from unverified narratives rather than established facts, Altlayer has launched Rumour.app, which, as the world's first rumor trading platform, aggregates the "information dust" scattered across social networks into a tradable "value lightning" in real-time, redefining the competitive rules of "time difference" in crypto trading.

In today's explosive development of AI technology, we are at a critical turning point — a shift from 'AI model-driven' to 'AI economy-driven'. However, the current AI ecosystem is still trapped in the dilemma of 'data silos' and 'value fractures': data cannot flow freely, models are difficult to monetize efficiently, and the cost of deploying agents is high. This has led to a serious waste of AI value, much like a gold mine locked away in the deep mountains, unable to be effectively mined.
The emergence of OpenLedger is a revolutionary solution to this dilemma. It is not just a blockchain platform, but an infrastructure designed for the AI economy, with its core innovation being the introduction of the concept of 'liquidity' into the AI field, making data, models, and agents tradable liquidity assets.
