An interesting perspective comparing $HYPE and $ASTER:

💰 Buyback of tokens only really works when the buyback rate exceeds the amount of tokens unlocked.

$HYPE
• Has bought back over 44 million tokens
• Only unlocked about 4 million tokens since launch
• No venture capital (VC) or insider investors pressuring large sell-offs

$ASTER
• Has bought back over 266 million tokens
• But has unlocked around 960 million tokens since launch
• Still has to absorb selling pressure from previous allocation rounds

That's also why many people are wondering:

Why does ASTER keep announcing token buybacks but the price hasn't surged significantly?

The answer may lie in the fact that the amount of tokens hitting the market is still greater than the amount being absorbed through buyback programs.

However, the market always looks to the future, not the past.

If the unlocking rate gradually decreases while platform revenues continue to increase and the buyback program is maintained, the supply-demand balance can change very quickly.

That's why the bulls for ASTER are still patiently waiting.

Meanwhile, the bulls for HYPE are being rewarded by the market due to nearly perfect tokenomics from the start.

In the end, price reflects not only the quality of the product but also the supply structure.

And in crypto, tokenomics can sometimes be just as important as technology.

$HYPE at 72 USD is making a lot of folks FOMO.

$ASTER at 0.72 USD is raising some eyebrows.

And it's that doubt that's worth keeping an eye on.

In the past 24 hours, both $BNB and $ASTER have surged around 10%.
With a "giant" like BNB, boasting a market cap close to $100 billion and leading the pack, that rise is definitely noteworthy.
As for ASTER...
Long-term holders are probably all too familiar with the price hovering around $0.6 - $0.8 for many months now.
The longer we accumulate, the higher the expectations for a breakout.
I still believe that sooner or later ASTER will make a significant trend break this year. It's just a matter of whether this is the moment or not, and no one can say for sure. The most interesting thing about ASTER right now isn't the price fluctuating a few percent daily.
It's the fact that hardly anyone talks about it anymore.
The market tends to get super excited when an asset pumps hard.
But the biggest opportunities often arise during the most boring phases.
At $0.7, not many people are paying attention. But if one day ASTER truly enters a strong bull trend, the line of buyers might be much longer than it is now.

HODL.
In a market where everyone wants to get rich quick, trading non-stop and searching for new opportunities every day, sometimes the hardest thing is... to patiently hold your position.
Many people miss out on significant profits not because they picked the wrong asset, but because they lack the patience to hold onto it.
The market always rewards those with faith and a long-term vision.
Sometimes, the best action isn't to buy more or to short.
It's simply: to hold your position steady.

$NEAR is breaking out strong after smashing through a long-term downtrend. 📈

On the upside, the next major resistance zone is around $3.18, and the market is still eyeing this target.

Meanwhile, the previous accumulation zone around $0.84 is holding firm, so the current long-term structure remains quite bullish. 👀

Personally, I think if the AI narrative and capital flow stay strong, there's a high chance $NEAR will continue to run towards the target before we see a significant correction.

It's been a while since I checked in on $NEAR.

Back in 2023, the project was mainly focused on Web3 OS and sharding technology. Now, the AI narrative is becoming a big deal in this ecosystem.

In the last cycle, aside from $SOL, not many Layer1s had a strong uptrend. Part of that is due to $NEAR's price structure mostly being in accumulation and correction since its launch.

But if the current structure is right, this could be the first real impulse wave for $NEAR, and that might lead to some pretty noticeable growth ahead. 📈

Wishing you all good luck. 🍀

Aster has just officially launched the Chase Order feature.

This is a type of limit order that can automatically update price levels to track the best bids or asks in the market, helping traders stay close to liquidity without the need to constantly adjust orders manually.

Key points:

- Always a pending order
- All executed trades are counted as maker
- The maker fee on Aster is currently 0%

This feature is particularly suitable for:
• Day traders
• Liquidity providers
• High-speed perpetual contract traders

More importantly, Aster is now the first DEX to integrate native "Price Tracking Orders" directly into the matching system, and everything can be transparently verified on Aster Chain.

DEXs are gradually becoming less "primitive" than before.
Features that used to only appear on CEXs are now being strongly brought on-chain 👀

This is not investment advice; please do your own research (DYOR).

hey @Binance BiBi edit this photo with price of $ASTER in 2030

$ASTER has been in a sideways accumulation for almost 5 months 😶‍🌫️

Meanwhile, the valuation gap with $HYPE is currently nearly 10x.

The interesting part is: CZ has publicly mentioned buying only 2 projects in his life:
• $BNB
• $ASTER

And CZ himself has said: "If you can't hold, you won't get rich."

It’s probably just a matter of time now.

Every major peak of Bitcoin seems to end in the same way.

The price usually has 3 bounces around the 21-week moving average before forming a real bottom.

In 2021, Bitcoin peaked and then had 3 short retracements before crashing down to the $15K zone. Only then did the market stabilize and enter the next bullish cycle.

Currently, 2025 looks quite similar to that phase. BTC might be in the second bounce around the 21 SMA.

If history repeats itself, the $50K zone could very well become the next significant bottom before Bitcoin heads towards higher levels like $200K in the long run.

It's crucial that if the market sees another sharp dip, don't panic too much. The periods that make the majority lose faith often appear right before a major trend begins.

$HYPE, $ASTER, and $GENIUS are all riding the Perp DEX narrative

While $HYPE keeps hitting new ATHs amidst a volatile market,
many are still overlooking:
• $ASTER around ~$0.7
• $GENIUS around ~$0.8

Perp DEX is almost certainly going to be one of the biggest narratives of this cycle:

- faster
- more flexible
- trading all types of on-chain assets

And it's noteworthy that both $ASTER and $GENIUS are getting solid backing from Binance/CZ.

The market always loves to chase what has already pumped,
but sometimes the biggest opportunities lie in what's still undervalued 👀

🐋 $NEAR is breaking out strong after smashing through a long-term downtrend. 📈

Right now, the market is eyeing a significant resistance zone around $3.18 — which is also the next target if the FOMO momentum continues to hold up.

On the flip side, there’s a solid accumulation zone around $0.84 that's being held tight, so the long-term structure still looks pretty bullish.

Personally, I think if the AI money flow and the $NEAR narrative stay hot, there’s a good chance the price will keep pumping before we see a significant pullback.

While the whole market is FOMOing into $HYPE, I've started paying more attention to $ASTER.

$HYPE is definitely leading the current DEX narrative:
New coin
Strong cash flow
Good revenue
Highly favored by the market

But precisely because everyone is focused on $HYPE, I prefer to keep an eye on something that's being overlooked — and that's $ASTER.
$ASTER has undergone a severe drop from its peak, then went sideways accumulating for several months.

The chart is boring, holders are disheartened, and almost no one mentions Aster anymore.
But the more it's forgotten, the more interesting I find it.

Don't forget:
CZ is behind this ecosystem
Aster is building towards perpetual DEX + privacy + leverage
Continuously adding new features like staking, listing votes, governance…
Over 350M $ASTER has been staked & locked
Liquidity and volume remain quite stable even though the price isn't really moving

More importantly, I don't think CZ will easily accept Hyperliquid to dominate the on-chain DEX narrative alone.
Remember the memecoin era on Solana?

When all the spotlight was on Solana, many thought BNB Chain was done for.
Then CZ came back, pulled the entire memecoin narrative over to BNB Chain, and created a whole new wave.

The crypto market always operates like that: When everyone is looking in one direction, opportunities often lie where no one is paying attention.
$HYPE might still continue to rise.

But if Aster breaks out of this prolonged accumulation zone, the run-up could be wild because almost no one has positioned for it anymore.

This is not investment advice; do your own research.

$ETH has now dropped below the $2,050 zone, and market sentiment is starting to get extremely bearish.

But the interesting thing is that this is actually a crucial order block — where strong reversals often happen when most people have lost faith.

The timeline is now filled with calls of "ETH will drop even deeper", but the market usually doesn't follow the crowd's thinking 🤷‍♂️

If the selling pressure from panic and news about the conflict gradually eases, the chance of $ETH bouncing back to the $2,300+ area is definitely possible.

Fear creates a bottom.
Patience creates profit. 🚀

#Bitcoin
Has the dip ended?
Has $BTC really turned around and started to pump again?

Do you guys remember the support zone at 75K I've been mentioning lately? Today, BTC dipped below that area with a wicked candlestick and quickly bounced back above 76K.

The main reason is the positive news between the US and Iran, which has helped stabilize market sentiment 📈

However, remember that:
This is still just talk, nothing is set in stone. Tomorrow could easily bring news that flips the market again.

From a technical standpoint, even though the price has reclaimed 75K and 76K, it's still moving below the mid-channel area on the chart.

In summary:
🟢 Positive news
🟢 Good price reaction
🟢 Support is holding steady

Everything looks pretty good… but it's not time to get complacent.

If the upward trend continues, the next targets will be:
🔹84.5K
🔹98K

Important support zones:
🔸76K
🔸75K
🔸72K

Keep an eye on it 👀

This $NEAR pump isn't just because the chart looks good.

Ever since Arthur Hayes dropped his take, placing $NEAR alongside $HYPE and $ZEC in his top basket, the market's been paying a lot more attention. Hayes even dubbed NEAR as his "favorite shitcoin." 😅

What's interesting is that NEAR currently has quite a few narratives going at once:

• AI
• Privacy
• Institutional money
• Real revenue
• Technical breakout

The founder of NEAR is also one of the 8 authors of the paper "Attention Is All You Need" — the foundation that sparked the Transformer and the current AI craze. So, whenever the AI narrative resurfaces, NEAR is almost always the first name that pops up in crypto. 🤖

Additionally:
• Bitwise confirms capital is flowing into the NEAR ETP
• NEAR Intents has seen over $19B in volume
• Inflation has dropped to 2.5%
• Chart shows a long-term breakout trend decline
• Open Interest keeps hitting new highs 📈

This kind of pump is driven by multiple narratives coming together, so the market is starting to reprice $NEAR.

$ASTER just had quite an interesting week

At the start of the week, the price was almost flat around $0.66, with low liquidity and the market pretty quiet.

But mid-week, we started seeing some strong buying pressure:
→ the price bounced up to around $0.72
→ a nearly 9% increase in just a short time

It seemed like a breakout was in play,
but ultimately, the price was pulled back to the starting point around $0.67.

And that reversal is what’s really noteworthy 😶‍🌫️

Either:
• it’s just a liquidity sweep before a bigger move
• or the area above is a distribution zone and the market might continue to go sideways or drop further

Nonetheless, the weekend volume is gradually increasing,
so it feels like this chart isn’t “done with the waves” just yet.

After months trapped in a really uncomfortable range, $ASTER remains one of the most debated charts in the market right now 😅

This is not investment advice, folks, make sure to do your own research (Dyor)

If #Bitcoin replicates the breakout structure that gold has followed for the past 12 years, then the narrative is no longer about $150K or even $250K.

We're talking about a potential path towards $800,000 for each $BTC 🚀

Most folks still think this cycle is "too late."

But history shows... maybe everything is just getting started.

While the crowd remains skeptical, smart money is quietly accumulating 💰

Every time $NEAR hits the top trending, a bunch of KOLs with >100k followers start to shill.

In the picture, there are just 2 people… 😅

Right now, I see this trio as pretty noteworthy for the upcoming time:
• $HYPE
• $ZEC
• $NEAR

All of them have interesting narratives and capital flows. 🔥

$BTC is repeating the familiar 4-year cycle pattern

🔹 Cycle 1: 2015 → 2018 = 1421 days
🔹 Cycle 2: 2019 → 2022 = 1302 days
🔹 Cycle 3: 2023 → 2026 = 1386 days

Bitcoin has been stuck in the $60K–$80K range for a while now… and this is NO longer looking like accumulation.

We are moving from one bull trap to another 📉

We have officially entered the SELL ZONE ⚠️

History shows this is typically the area where the final drop occurs before the market completely resets.
