On #Aster
I’ve been around since the early days of crypto trading. Back in the day, I used Poloniex, Bittrex, Bitfinex before Binance even existed. When CZ launched Binance, I watched it go from a small exchange to one of the biggest in the world.
Perpetual DEXs are not new. But I think Aster has the right ingredients to stand out, and maybe repeat some of the early Binance story.
True that Aster isn’t run by CZ, but it has his public nod of support and backing from YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs).
In crypto, credibility and connections matter. If market makers, influencers, and traders believe CZ is indirectly behind something, that alone can drive adoption.
Strong Start:
- Aster just launched its token ( $ASTER ), with a big airdrop.
- Even before launch, it was already handling solid trading volumes, which shows real interest in the product.
- It offers features traders actually want: Stock Perps, Hidden Orders, and Simple vs Pro Mode (easy for beginners, powerful for pros).
What Will Prove Us Right:
- Aster holds a meaningful share of trading volume (10%+ of perp DEXs) for several months.
- Liquidity (spreads, execution) stays competitive with other platforms.
- Traders stick around after the airdrop, they don’t just farm and leave.
- No major risk events around stock perps or liquidation mechanisms.
Closing Thoughts
Aster has only been live for a couple of days, so it’s way too early to crown it the “next Binance.” But the mix of features + CZ connection + early momentum gives it a real shot.
I’m bullish, but with my eyes open. The competitors won't sit around and doing nothing. #DEX #Dexe_Traders #DEXE.智能策略库🥇🥇 $ASTER
