Aster ASTER

What ASTER actually is on-chain

Aster is a BEP-20 deployed on BNB Chain, at contract address 0x000Ae314E2A2172a039B26378814C252734f556A. That address, not the ticker ASTER, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself ASTER, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against bscscan.com before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on BNB Chain, ASTER is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in BNB rather than in ASTER itself, and secondary liquidity sits in PancakeSwap pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need BNB in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

For ASTER the project publishes a whitepaper, a public source repository and an active account as @Aster_DEX. Both a written specification and readable code exist, which is a materially higher bar than most assets in this size range clear. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where ASTER sits in the market

At #53, Aster sits in the bottom of the large-cap band, adjacent to the mid-cap cut-off. Down here the large-cap label is doing less work than it appears to. ASTER is one revision away from the mid-cap band, and the practical consequences of crossing that line — index eligibility, market-maker commitments, how much size the book absorbs — change well before the ranking does.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 6 live ASTER order books (Binance, Bybit, Gate.io, MEXC, HTX, Bithumb). That is coverage in line with a #53 ranking: enough books to cross-check a quote, few enough that one of them can dominate price formation for hours at a time. One of them is a Korean won market, so the Kimchi-premium spread between the KRW and USDT quote is visible on this page.

ASTER against its all-time high

ASTER is 71.4% off its $2.41 high (on 2025-09-24). At this depth the arithmetic turns against a recovery narrative: getting back to the record takes 3.49x, not a rebound. The high is better read as the marker of a completed cycle than as a target — most of the holders above spot are underwater by enough that their behaviour on the way up is supply, not demand. That high was set about a year ago, recently enough that it still anchors how most current holders frame the asset.

ASTER across its historical range

The recorded range runs 24.2x, from $0.0997 to $2.41 — wide by the standards of traditional assets, moderate for this one's class.

ASTER trades roughly 6.92x above its record low of $0.0997 (on 2025-09-17). Recovery from the bottom has been limited, which means the low is still close enough to function as a real reference level rather than a historical footnote.

ASTER supply structure

ASTER is capped at 8.00 billion ASTER, of which only 2.58 billion is circulating — 32.2% issued, leaving 5.42 billion still to come. At that ratio the emission schedule is a primary driver of the supply story, not a footnote: new supply arrives continuously and has to be absorbed by new demand before price can hold a level.

What kind of asset ASTER is

Aster is a decentralised exchange token. The economics are unusually legible for crypto: the protocol generates fees from trading volume, and the token's value proposition rests on whether it captures any of them. Volume on the underlying venue, the fee switch status and competitive pressure from other venues are the variables that actually matter — and DEX volume is itself highly cyclical, so revenue is not a stable base.

CoinGecko files ASTER under 6 categories, including Decentralized Exchange (DEX), Exchange-based Tokens, Decentralized Finance (DeFi), BNB Chain Ecosystem, Perpetuals. CoinGecko also records deployments on BNB Chain (2,027 tracked tokens), so its on-chain liquidity and its user base move with that network.

How to set a Aster alert that is worth receiving
