These 3 Altcoins Surged After Trump’s Unexpected Pardon for CZ

Jakarta, Pintu News – Donald Trump has officially granted a presidential pardon to Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the former CEO of Binance, removing all criminal charges related to the Bank Secrecy Act. This news triggered a wave of optimism in the Binance ecosystem, which then prompted massive accumulation in a number of altcoins, based on a report by BeInCrypto.

Which altcoins have experienced this surge, and how has it impacted their prices?

WLFI – Number of Holders Increases After Amnesty News

The pardon was seen as a form of political support for the crypto industry, and specifically benefited Trump-affiliated projects.

One of them is WLFI (WLFI), whose stablecoin, USD1, was involved in a $2 billion deal between Abu Dhabi and Binance. This deal creates a revenue stream that is directly linked to Binance’s growth.

However, critics cautioned that such a political relationship could blur the lines between the worlds of finance and politics. Nonetheless, the market responded enthusiastically to the news. WLFI’s price jumped nearly 14% in 24 hours, and its daily trading volume surpassed $300 million – double the previous average.

The increase in price coupled with a surge in trading volume suggests that investors are accumulating again. The data also shows that the number of WLFI holders is recovering after a month of decline.

Based on the chart, the number of WLFI holders dropped from 124,520 to 124,380 in the past week. However, after the news of the amnesty, this figure rose back to 124,450. This small increase is an early sign of returning investor confidence, after WLFI had plummeted nearly 30% since last month.

Aster (ASTER) – Nearly 10 Million Tokens Withdrawn from Exchange in 24 Hours

Aster (ASTER) is a futures DEX (decentralized exchange) platform built on the BNB Chain. The project is backed by YZi Labs (formerly known as Binance Labs), and has received direct support from CZ through the X platform (formerly Twitter).

The positive news surrounding CZ has revived optimistic sentiment among Aster investors. On-chain data shows clear accumulation through outflows from the exchange as well as price movements.

According to Nansen, the price of ASTER rose by more than 12%, while nearly 10 million ASTER tokens were withdrawn from exchanges. After the news, many investors seem to be encouraged to keep their ASTER in the long term.

“I just withdrew another 50 ASTER from my profits to my personal wallet for long-term storage, and will continue to do this until the price reaches $5-$10. Anyone else doing the same, or is it just me? I’m very optimistic about ASTER because of CZ,” said an investor named AltcoinsGuy.

On October 23, Aster also launched its Rocket Launch campaign, a liquidity initiative combined with a buyback program. This campaign, coupled with the news of the CZ amnesty, further strengthened investor confidence in Aster.

4 – Whales Continue to Accumulate Amid Exchange Balance Decline

4 (FORM) is a meme token created on the four.meme platform, with a market capitalization of approximately $120 million.

The recent “BNB Season” sentiment has encouraged investors to seek out small-cap tokens in the Binance ecosystem for higher potential returns. The positive news regarding the CZ amnesty has further strengthened confidence among meme investors in four.meme.

Data from Nansen shows that the 100 largest wallets holding token 4 increased their balance by 6.86%, while token reserves on exchanges fell by almost 8% following the amnesty announcement. The price of these tokens surged by more than 30% in the last 24 hours.

In addition, token 4 also appeared in the Binance Alpha listing, which sparked speculation that it may soon be launched on Binance Spot. The current accumulation could be a strategic move if the listing does happen.

These three altcoins – WLFI, ASTER, and 4 – have direct and indirect ties to the Binance and CZ ecosystems. While the crypto market has been sluggish this October, BNB and the projects surrounding it have been a rare bright spot in a stagnant market.
