MrBeast and Crypto Whales Pile Into ASTER After 20% Drop – What’s Next?

Jakarta, Pintu News – On October 1, ASTER token recorded a 20% drop and is testing the important support level of $1.5. Even so, Mr. Beast along with a number of whales are still continuing their accumulation action by adding to their token holdings.

According to Coingape’s report, overall, the DEX token price has corrected nearly 40% from its high of $2.4. In addition, with the token unlock scheduled to take place in October, investors now remain wary of potential subsequent price movements.

With this purchase, MrBeast’s total holdings reach 705,821 ASTER worth approximately $1.28 million. Over the past week, he has been aggressively accumulating ASTER, buying almost every time the altcoin’s DEX token price has declined.

On the other hand, blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain reported that a wallet with address 0xFB3B withdrew 3.19 million ASTER (worth about $5.27 million) from crypto exchange Gate.io six hours ago.

Combined, these two whale wallets now control 132.78 million ASTER or equivalent to 8.01% of the total circulating supply.

Famous Trader Opens Long Position on ASTER Crypto

In addition, well-known trader James Wynn also opened a long position on ASTER. In his post on the X platform, Wynn wrote:

“Just went long on ASTER. One of my favorite charts to trade. New asset + high volume + euphoria is the perfect combination to get good price action, big fluctuations, and big profits.”

This shows that despite the sharp correction in ASTER’s price, the DEX altcoin remains the target of major investors. Aster, a BNB-based DEX, is now emerging as a strong competitor to Hyperliquid (HYPE), while recording a surge in revenue and daily trading volume.

The project reports nearly $1 billion in trading volume per day and maintains a total value locked (TVL) of over $2.26 billion, reflecting solid liquidity across its ecosystem.

Although institutional investors continue to accumulate heavily, ASTER is expected to face a wave of token unlocks throughout October.

Based on data from DropStab.com, on October 17, Aster is scheduled to unlock 183.13 million ASTER worth approximately $325 million, equivalent to 11% of its market capitalization, to enter circulation.

Popular crypto market analyst Gordon warns that ASTER’s price still has the potential to weaken, given the upcoming $700 million token unlock. According to him, it will take strong support from buyers for the price to hold steady ahead of the event.

As a precautionary measure, Aster is said to be considering implementing a vesting schedule for airdrop recipients to help mitigate potential selling pressure that could occur due to a surge in supply in the market.
