Decentralized exchange Aster (ASTER) has moved quickly to clear up community concerns regarding its token unlock schedule.&nbsp;
The team clarified that no tokens have been released beyond the original plan despite recent confusion on tracking platforms.

The uncertainty ensued after a recent CoinMarketCap (CMC) update sparked speculation about changes to Aster’s token unlock schedule.&nbsp;
Users <a href="https://x.com/_FORAB/status/1989526529332969621" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">noticed</a> discrepancies in token unlock dates displayed on Binance and CoinMarketCap. Dates previously set for 2025 appeared to have shifted to mid-2026 or even as far as 2035. This led to widespread speculation about a possible revision of Aster’s token policy.
Aster’s team <a href="https://x.com/Aster_DEX/status/1989619227922501668" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">explained</a> that the discrepancies resulted from a miscommunication rather than a policy change. The project’s original tokenomics included monthly ecosystem unlocks.&nbsp;
However, because there was no immediate usage plan for these tokens, none of the scheduled unlocks were executed. Since the token generation event, tokens allocated for unlocks have remained stored in a locked address, never entering ASTER’s circulating supply.&nbsp;
Aster announced it will transfer the unused tokens to a dedicated public address. This will allow anyone to independently monitor all token movements, ensuring transparency and to prevent further misunderstandings

Earlier this month, ASTER surged more than 30% after Binance co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao disclosed that he holds over $2.5 million worth of the token. CZ shared his wallet publicly on X, emphasizing that his purchase was from personal funds and that he intends to hold long-term rather than trade.
Adding to the hype, YouTube megastar <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/mrbeast-adds-to-aster-token-stash-as-dex-revenues-soar-past-hyperliquid/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MrBeast reportedly bought over 167,000 ASTER tokens</a> worth $320,000 in September. This raised his total investment to about $1.28 million.&nbsp;
The move influenced other market participants as well, including the trader known as “Gold.” Traders said they opened a position in ASTER right after CZ’s announcement. Gold also noted that this was the first time CZ had publicly bought a token other than BNB.
In addition to this, <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/coinbase-adds-aster-aster-to-listing-roadmap/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinbase has recently added ASTER to its listing roadmap</a>, further fueling the token’s market value. Currently, ASTER is currently trading at $1.12, up about 10% in the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data. Despite this recent gain, the token remains over 50% below its all-time high of $2.42 recorded in September.

In the derivatives markets, Aster is recognized as a leader in the space. As reported in September, the <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/aster-becomes-defi-leader-as-wintermute-moves-millions/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">exchange topped perpetual trading</a>, with record volumes and millions in fees.&nbsp;
Despite <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/lighter-secures-68m-to-expand-its-decentralized-trading-platform/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">intense competition from rivals like Lighter</a> and Hyperliquid, and in the perpetual DEX market, Aster has established itself as a strong player.&nbsp;
Analyst Fefe Demeny recently reported that the project’s open interest skyrocketed from near zero to $5 billion in just two weeks. It now represents roughly one-third of HyperliquidX’s total open interest.&nbsp;
