Is Aster Crypto Back? MrBeast, New Token Unlocks Explained

I have no money left, I lost it all trading. Aster crypto looks interesting, though. I wonder if it would be worth taking out a huge personal loan and going all in on Aster?

If it works out great, if it doesn’t, I go bankrupt.

Thankfully, price action on

has coiled into a classic symmetrical triangle. Momentum is compressing and bulls need to punch through overhead resistance to flip sentiment; a breakdown below $1.65 would give sellers the upper hand.

Moreover, crypto whales, including celebrity YouTuber MrBeast, have doubled down on Aster accumulation. So, is Aster ready fo another insane breakout?

MrBeast and Whales Load Up on ASTER Crypto: Is An Insane Breakout Ahead?

Aster reminded me of the Smash Bros. logo, my favourite game. That’s why I bought it.  Besides that, regarding competition like rival Hyperliquid, Aster allows you to trade stocks, more pairs, more leverage, and four different blockchains. Now it also has the crypto whales.

Arkham Intelligence data shows MrBeast spent 320,587 USDT for 167,436 ASTER just hours ago. That raises his total holdings to roughly 705,821 ASTER worth $1.28 Mn. His strategy is clear: buying into each dip.

Lookonchain also tracked a whale withdrawal of 3.19 Mn ASTER ($5.27 million) from Gate.io, signaling conviction among large holders. Together, the two wallets now control 132.78 Mn ASTER (8% of the circulating supply).

“Just went long on ASTER. One of my favorite charts to trade,” wrote trader James Wynn on X.

Data Shows ASTER’s Liquidity Advantage

Despite volatility, ASTER is thriving on the fundamentals. According to DeFiLlama, the BNB-based DEX is recording nearly $1 Bn in daily trading volume and holds more than $2.26 Bn in total value locked (TVL).

That places it as a serious competitor to Hyperliquid’s

, which continues to dominate derivatives trading.

Fees are also climbing. Aster generated $13 Mn in the past 24 hours and $121.3 Mn over the last week, underscoring the protocol’s traction as one of the top fee earners across decentralized finance.

The October Token Unlock: $325M Incoming. Can ASTER Survive the Unlock Storm?

The biggest test comes this month. Dropstab data shows that on October 17, ASTER will unlock 183.1 Mn tokens, worth around $325 Mn (11% of its market capitalization). 99Bitcoins analysts warn that, combined with additional unlocks, the total new supply could reach $700 Mn in October.

Crypto analyst Gordon summed up market concerns:

“ASTER’s price still has the potential to weaken given the upcoming unlock. Strong buyer demand will be needed for price stability.”

To soften the blow, Aster is reportedly considering vesting schedules for airdrop recipients to slow down immediate sell pressure. Bigger players may absorb some of the selling, but new supply this size has the power to smother fundamentals.

Let’s just all be happy for CZ  and all the shills/insiders who made millions on Aster. The rest of us are left to wonder if we’ll ever catch the same wave.
