Aster (ASTER) is back in the spotlight after setting a record that has many people taking it seriously.
In the view of popular analyst .exe, this project could even become a major cryptocurrency capable of doubling its price from its current level.
He considers the opportunity to buy at around $1.50 a rare opportunity before the token soars to $2, or even $4.
ASTER outpaces Hyperliquid in three-day DEX volume streak
ASTER isn’t just buzzing; the data speaks for itself. According to DefiLlama, for three consecutive days, Aster successfully overtook Hyperliquid in 24-hour DEX trading volume. The figure reached $547.04 million, surpassing Hyperliquid’s $514.16 million. This figure isn’t just a cold statistic, but a reflection of growing enthusiasm.
Furthermore, its price performance is also satisfying. In the past 24 hours, the altcoin has risen 9.36%, while other crypto markets have plummeted by an average of 2.37%.
Not only that, in the past week, the increase has reached 1,771.55%. A figure that seems impossible for traditional assets, but in the crypto world, such things are indeed possible.
On the other hand, there are fundamental factors that contribute to the bullish narrative. The migration of APX tokens to ASTER with a 1:1 ratio from September 17th to October 1st, was facilitated directly by Binance.
This process was not merely technical, but rather a more streamlined ecosystem consolidation. Unsurprisingly, before the swap was completed, APX had risen 400%. This transition solidified community and market support for ASTER.
The story became even more interesting when ASTER officially traded on Gate.io with an initial price of $0.20. However, withdrawals were held until October 1st to prevent premature liquidity drain.
After listing, the price did fluctuate wildly due to airdrop claims and market maker movements, but this is the natural course of the crypto market, and experienced traders are accustomed to seeing it.
However, it wasn’t just technical data or price movements that created the buzz. Whale activity also contributed to the change. A wallet linked to influencer MrBeast was detected depositing approximately $114,000 USDT into the Aster DEX on September 21, 2025.
This action coincided with a surge in ASTER’s daily volume, which briefly reached $700 million. At the time, ASTER had even challenged Hyperliquid, a major player in the DEX space.
