Aster: When the Market Prints, You Ape!
The market gives one or two solid opportunities a year. This is one of them.
The first time I saw Aster, it was around 40 cents. That was about 24h after its launch at 9 cents. What made this launch different?
It is backed by CZ, the Binance founder, who tweeted about it.
CZ never shills coins besides BTC and BNB. This was different. I missed the 9 cents entry because I was sleeping, but when I saw it, I did not hesitate and aped in. Two days after that, Aster reached $2.
This coin is not a pump and dump. This is the real deal. Let me explain why.

CZ is not new to this business, he’s the goat.
One tweet from CZ destroyed FTX and one tweet about Aster took the market cap of this token to $3 billion dollars in a few days. Just look at the price action. Non-stop pump.
As soon as I realized what was happening, I immediately informed our Patrons Pro on our dedicated discord channel. Those that were quick to react 4x their money in 48 hours since the below post. You can join us via the Unlimited plan.
I can smell an opportunity quickly and this one clicked all the checkboxes:
Backed by CZ from Binance explicitly on X
Created to displace Hyperliquid’s dominance in the DEX space
Copied Ethena’s USDe model to farm yields via USDF
When such vectors overlap, you do not think too much. You simply buy, especially if the token is not older than 48h! I told everyone a price under $1 is early still. Just ape. Why?
Because Aster will eventually be listed on Binance and then everywhere. They intentionally launched it and made it available on Aster DEX first so that they create hype and friction to allow insiders to get positioned before the masses.
Obviously, there will be pullbacks, and you should take advantage of them. Aster can easily hit $10 in the future if CZ is serious about it and I think he is.
This is the first token backed at 100% by Binance and CZ since BNB!
BNB went from 15 cents to $1,000. That’s a 6,600x return to date. I’ll be happy with 100x on Aster. However, CZ is not motivated by money as much as by reputation and market share.
Hyperliquid is a systemic threat to Binance and is eating market share from all centralized exchanges. CZ is smart and he decides not to compete with Hyperliquid via Binance, but rather via a similar DEX = Aster.
CZ knows the future is decentralized and he just created the equivalent of Binance in the DEX space ready to go head to head with Hyperliquid. CZ hates not being number one, and if you challenge him, he swings back hard.
Here is CZ with Leonard, the Aster founder.
TLDR: Aster is the answer by Binance and CZ to Hyperliquid.
And CZ is ready to go all-in. I think he already has. I believe Hyperliquid became a systemic threat that scared Binance leadership (and most CEXes) sometimes between late 2024 and early 2025 or around the time the HYPE token was released.
Since then, CZ got to work. Aster is a spinoff from APX which is a DEX launched years ago on BNB chain. CZ sent his best folks from Binance to help APX and they rebranded into Aster. The new platform has all the marks of Binance.
That’s also why APX holders could swap their tokens for Aster after its launch. A nice 20x in a few days. I think that’s how CZ paid the folks from APX to deliver and get on board. A win-win.
The tokenomics of Aster were also designed for a perfect pump. Low float and high control of existing supply across a few wallets. CZ decides where Aster goes, nobody else.
In this case, the incentives are aligned. CZ wants Aster to pump and take over the market via the best marketing there is: the price pumping hard. So far, he has succeeded. When the community wins, everyone wins. Look at Hyperliquid.
Since the launch of Aster, everyone on X talks only about it. It literally dominates the feed of crypto twitter. Even I’ve stopped talking about other subjects, because this is big.
I was lucky to catch this early and flag it to our members. I believe we’re still early. CZ is not a pump and dump guy. He’s ready to flip Hyperliquid, and if there was one guy that can do it, he can.
Asterliquid.
