[Tokenomics Update] $ASTER Buyback and Burn Steps Up to 198%

Aster is upgrading its buyback so the platform's own activity both rewards stakers and sets $ASTER on a deflationary path.

Starting from 12:00 PM UTC today, 99% of Aster's daily platform fees buy back $ASTER. An equal amount of $ASTER is burned from reserve, matching the buyback one for one.

The bought-back $ASTER goes to stakers. Each epoch it is added to Loyalty Rewards (300K $ASTER base, plus the buyback amount), distributed to veASTER by lock weight.

The burn takes team allocation first. $ASTER launched with a total supply of 8,000,000,000. The burn continues until total supply reaches 3,000,000,000.

Buybacks run automatically via TWAP across each day and settle on-chain. The buyback and the burn are both public and verifiable:

- Buyback wallet: 0xa0edBaBcb48034e368de286b49F9603C7AfA1b60

Every permissionless listing on Aster Spot pays a 50,000 USDT fee, used to buy back $ASTER as extra staking rewards.

Aster appears to have launched its mainnet, and a block explorer is now live on its website.

The largest $ASTER long on Hyperliquid, holding 25.93M $ASTER ($20.4M), is now up $3.9M.

Stage 5 Buyback Program: Structured Support for $ASTER

We're implementing a systematic buyback program designed to strengthen $ASTER tokenomics and create sustainable value for our community.

Starting December 23, 2025, Aster will allocate up to 80% of daily platform fees toward $ASTER buybacks:

1. Automatic Daily Buyback (40% of fees)—Executed automatically each day, providing consistent on-chain support and gradual supply reduction. This creates a predictable foundation for token value.

- Automatic Wallet: 0x4786927333c0bA8aB27CA41361ADF33148C5301E

2. Strategic Buyback Reserve (20%-40% of fees)—Allocated for targeted buybacks based on market conditions. This reserve gives us the flexibility to respond to volatility and maximize value creation when opportunities arise.

- Strategic Wallet: 0x5E4969C41ca9F9831468B98328A370b7AbD5a397

All transactions are fully on-chain and publicly verifiable. We will provide regular updates on execution.

@KobeissiLetter Thoughts on Bitcoin & Crypto assets with this environment?

[CZ 🔶 BNB @cz_binance]

Full disclosure. I just bought some Aster today, using my own money, on @Binance.

I am not a trader. I buy and hold.

As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance Aster’s token economy, we’re refining the S3 buyback and airdrop model to deliver stronger, long-term value for both users and holders:

• 50% of all buybacks, including S2 and S3, in the public buyback address will be burned — reducing supply and reinforcing $ASTER’s long-term strength.

• The remaining 50% will return to the locked airdrop address, reducing the circulating supply and providing more allocation for potential future airdrops to reward real Aster users and long-term $ASTER hodlers.

Future buyback and burn mechanisms will continue to evolve, reinforcing Aster’s commitment to sustainable growth and long-term value creation. Further updates will follow.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

Investors are waking up to some major news from China:

The entire tariff crash on October 10th may have just been one big misunderstanding between Trump and Xi.

The news about China’s rare earth export controls came out on October 9th at ~8:30 am ET, 26 hours BEFORE Trump posted about it.

This was a non-news event UNTIL President Trump posted about it over one day later.

Last night, China released a statement clarifying their "export controls" on rare earths.

In their response, China said the new controls are NOT a full export ban and applications that “meet regulations” will be approved.

Amid the market's downturn on Friday, our view was that the 100% tariff announcement by Trump was a bargaining chip.

After China's statement last night, we believe the odds of Trump's 100% tariff on China going into effect are extremely low.

The largest crypto liquidation in history and a -$2.5 trillion loss of S&P 500 market cap appears to have been driven by one big misunderstanding.

We expect another "trade deal" soon.
