CZ Sparks Rally: ASTER Jumps 20% Following 2M Token Purchase

ASTER Spikes 20% After Binance’s CZ Scoops Up 2 Million Tokens

ASTER, the token powering a rebranded decentralized derivatives platform, surged nearly 20% after Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao reportedly bought around 2 million tokens, igniting a wave of speculative trading across the market.

Investors read the move as a strong signal of confidence from one of the industry’s most influential figures, pushing ASTER to its sharpest daily gain since launch.

Originally derived from a merger of several earlier derivatives tokens — including APX — ASTER officially relaunched in September 2025 through a token-generation event. The asset carries a maximum supply of 8 billion, with more than half allocated to community incentives, airdrops, and ecosystem development initiatives aimed at expanding participation and liquidity.

Positioned as a hybrid decentralized exchange, ASTER offers spot and perpetual trading across multiple chains, enhanced by hidden orders, cross-chain functionality, and high-leverage options designed to appeal to advanced traders.

CZ’s public comment describing the relaunch as a “strong start” further fueled enthusiasm. On-chain data shows an ASTER-affiliated wallet accumulating large amounts of USDT, now ranking among the biggest addresses on BNB Chain outside Binance itself.

Even so, analysts warn the rally may prove fleeting. ASTER faces pressure from its large token supply, competitive DEX environment, and a surge driven more by hype than measurable growth.

For now, CZ’s endorsement has put ASTER firmly in the spotlight — but whether it can sustain momentum beyond speculation remains to be seen.
