5 Important Aster Crypto Facts: A New DEX Project Directly Supported by Binance’s CZ

Jakarta, Pintu News – In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrencies, Aster has emerged as one of the new projects that immediately caught the market’s attention.

Backed by luminaries like CZ Binance and built on the BNB Chain ecosystem, Aster debuted quietly but saw its value surge by over 100% in just a few hours. Here are five important facts about Aster that you need to know.

1. Silent Launch and Merger with APX Finance

Aster Crypto is launching stealth or without widespread notice, a strategy rarely used by large projects. Interestingly, this launch also coincided with the announcement of a merger with the APX Finance platform, according to a report from 99Bitcoins on September 17, 2025.

APX holders can now convert their tokens into Aster tokens directly. This creates synergy between the two communities and brings them together in one fully integrated ecosystem.

2. Perpetual DEX Project with Advanced Technology

Aster is a decentralized exchange (DEX) dedicated to perpetual trading with a full range of features, from trading, yield farming, to stablecoin minting. According to the official project report, Aster is powered by zk-proof technology, features hidden orders, and has been designed to be compatible with future MiCA regulations.

The platform is built on the BNB network, enabling fast transactions at low fees. It’s no wonder that the trading volume on Aster has surpassed $500 billion or equivalent to IDR8,296 trillion (1 USD = IDR16,592), making it the second largest perpetual DEX in the world today.

3. Attractiveness of ASTER Tokens: Low Circulation and Community Support

The ASTER token has only 8% supply of the total 8 billion tokens currently in circulation. Based on a report from Dune Analytics, within the first few hours of launch, the token’s trading volume has reached $50 million despite only being available on Aster’s own platform.

On-chain data also shows that more than 1.2 million unique wallets have been connected to Aster, and the Total Value Locked (TVL) surpassed $400 million. These figures show the high enthusiasm of the community and early adopters for the project.

4. Direct Support from Binance CZ and Strategic Partners

One of the main factors driving Aster’s popularity is the support of Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the founder of Binance. In several posts on his X account, CZ has publicly voiced his support for Aster, which is also backed by YZI Labs (former Binance Labs).

In addition, Aster established strategic partnerships with some of the biggest names in the DeFi world such as PancakeSwap, Pendl, Lista, and Kernel. The development team ensures that the token allocation for the team and treasury has been locked with a one-year vesting scheme, in order to maintain the long-term stability of the project.

5. Community Incentive Program: Aster Genesis and RH Points

To keep the community engaged, Aster held a program called “Aster Genesis: Stage 2” program where users can collect RH points. These points can be exchanged in the future for the next allocation of ASTER tokens.

Unclaimed tokens from the initial distribution will be reallocated to the Airdrop & Community Rewards scheme. This strategy provides a long-term incentive for early adopters to remain active in the Aster ecosystem, without the need for excessive speculation.

Aster shows that new projects in the crypto ecosystem don’t always have to rely on hype. With a strong technological approach, strategic support from big players, and careful token governance, Aster has the potential to become a major player in the global perpetual DEX arena.
