Aster tokenomics unchanged after CoinMarketCap error; DEX boosts transparency
Aster DEX has clarified that its tokenomics remain unchanged after CoinMarketCap mistakenly updated circulating supply data, suggesting delayed ASTER token unlocks—200 million in December 2025 and billions more in 2035. The team explained that since the Token Generation Event, monthly token unlocks have occurred as scheduled, but unused tokens stayed in a locked wallet and did not enter circulating supply. To enhance transparency, Aster will transfer all unlocked tokens to a dedicated public unlock address, with no immediate spending plans and future token use to be publicly disclosed. As of November 15, 2025, ASTER trades at $1.13, with a 24-hour volume of $555 million and a market cap of $2.2 billion, below its $2.41 all-time high. By proactively clarifying its unlock schedule and improving on-chain visibility, Aster aims to restore investor confidence and curb FUD ahead of large unlock events.
Bullish
By clarifying that Aster tokenomics remain unchanged and moving unlocked tokens to a public unlock address, Aster DEX removes uncertainty around circulating supply and potential sell-pressure from large unlock events. In the short term, this transparency supports price stability by quelling FUD. Over the long term, enhanced on-chain visibility and proactive disclosure foster investor confidence, likely encouraging sustained demand for ASTER.
