ASTER Crypto Launches Phase 2 Airdrop on October 10, Open Interest Hits $5 Billion!

Jakarta, Pintu News – ASTER crypto has announced that the roadmap for the second phase of their airdrop will begin on October 10. This announcement comes after the open interest value jumped to $5 billion in just under two weeks.

Second Phase of ASTER Airdrop Begins October 10

In a recent post on X, the ASTER team confirmed that the Genesis Stage 2 airdrop will end on October 5, with prize claims opening on October 10 and token distribution beginning October 14. Tokens received have no lock-up period, so participants can use their tokens immediately upon receipt.

The next phase, Stage 3 otherwise known as Aster Dawn, will last for five weeks without a break until November 9. In this stage, the reward system will become more complex by introducing incentives for spot trading, multi-dimensional scoring, as well as special multipliers for certain symbols.

In addition, the team boost system will also be updated-team progress will no longer be reset every week, but instead will be carried forward. This creates a stronger incentive for long-term collaboration between participants.

This new move comes amid positive momentum for the ASTER token. The tokens were observed going into several Binance wallets, fueling speculation that a listing on Binance may be imminent. On-chain data shows a small test transfer of 20 tokens, followed by a large transaction worth $4.8 million.

The endorsement of former Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao has further raised market expectations. If ASTER is indeed listed on Binance, it could open up access to millions of retail and institutional investors around the world.

ASTER Open Interest Soars to $5 Billion

The ASTER token’s performance in the derivatives market has really shown a remarkable surge. Based on data shared by analyst Fefe Demeny, the project’s open interest rapidly increased from almost zero to $5 billion in just two weeks – equivalent to a third of HyperliquidX’s total open interest.

Although Hyperliquid’s fully diluted valuation stands at $50 billion compared to ASTER’s $13 billion, this rapid growth confirms the market’s interest in channeling capital to the platform.

According to a CoinGape report, this DEX even surpassed Hyperliquid for the first time in terms of open interest, after a jump from $3.72 million to $1.25 billion.

The token has also attracted the attention of famous personalities. MrBeast, a well-known YouTuber, has reportedly purchased more than 167,000 tokens worth about $320,000 in recent days, bringing his total investment to about $1.28 million.

However, ASTER’s price movement has been very volatile. After rising from $1.50 to a high of around $2.14, the token price briefly dropped below the important support level of $1.74.

According to crypto analyst Ardi, missing this level could trigger further declines, while if the price manages to break back above it, the bullish momentum could potentially continue with targets above $2.30.
