Binance has listed ASTER with a seed tag and is preparing to start trading on October 6th. Tokens no longer appear as Binance Alpha Tokens and transactions are not directed towards Alpha Points.
ASTER will begin trading on Binance using seed tags starting October 6th, with deposits of the first two trading pairs beginning to begin. Withdrawals begin on October 7th. Assets will begin trading in three pairs: ASTER/USDT, ASTER/USDC, and ASTER/TRY. Initially, only simple orders will be accepted, and bots and copy transactions will be enabled in 24 hours.
ASTER recovered above $2 after news of Binance’s spot listing, but is still below its highest level of $2.31. ASTER has forecast that it will rise to $4 due to an increase in physical trading. |Source: CoinGecko.
ASTER quickly became part of Binance Alpha and allocated alpha points to the transaction. However, once a spot trading begins, ASTER will terminate the Alpha program and no alpha points will be generated by the volume of trading. Users can transfer ASTER from their Alpha account to their Spot account before their assets are removed from the Alpha program.
Binance will transfer all ASTERs from your Alpha account to your Spot account within 24 hours of the start of a Spot transaction. Binance Alpha has already played its role in ASTER’s pre-screening of potential listings. The listing was expected as part of Binance’s support for the Aster DEX project.
ASTER is still under pressure
Just before its listing, ASTER traded at $1.89, stagnating the rapid rise after the token rebrand.
Following news from the Spot Binance market, ASTER has recovered to $2.02, approaching its range high. ASTER was expected to break to $2.31 and go up to $4.
ASTER has been under pressure from the recent discovery that DEX volumes may not be completely organic. As cryptopolitan Reported Previously, DeFiLlama excluded Aster DEX from the volume data dashboard. Aster DEX reports 24-hour trading volumes of over $96 billion, which is even above much larger centralized derivatives exchanges. The numbers raised questions about the possibility of a wash transaction or fake volume.
The aim of Aster DEX was to provide a dark pool for large orders and institutional investors. However, the uncertainty of transactions raised questions about the reality of trading volume. Aster was found to be the main DEX in terms of fees incurred in September, but its liquidity still fell short of Hyperliquid.
