Crypto currency whales have been lately filling up their bags with Aster coin (ASTER), a newcomer token that’s tied to the emerging Perpetuals crypto exchange of the same name. Mr.Beast, the popular YouTuber known for unique challenges and charity work, has reportedly aped into ASTER coin as well.
The Curious Case Of MrBeast’s Entrance Into ASTER
Per SpotOnChain’s research, MrBeast acquired a hefty 167,436 ASTER tokens for $320,587, paid in Tether USD (USDT). Moreover, the YouTuber nearing 442 million followers on his channel had allegedly bought 705,821 ASTER coins for $1.33 million since last week, upping the associated crypto wallet’s balance to $1.6 million.
On the other hand, there’s contradictory evidence of the crypto wallet belonging to MrBeast, as the YouTuber previously responded to LookOnChain’s analysis refuting any association to the crypto wallet in question. Weirdly enough, blockchain data agencies keep on tagging MrBeast’s X account on further price movements, without any response from the streamer.
Aster Coin Dips 20%, Adding To Market Shake-Out
Throwing down the gauntlet to HyperLiquid for the king exchange status across Perpetual markets, Aster coin saw a tremendous spike to $2.43 last week, but since has backtracked to $1.70. Market connoisseurs are calling it a ‘shake-out’, meaning that this crypto market dip is supposed to open up opportunities for crypto whales to buy more, while retail players panic sell.
Meanwhile, some crypto analysts believe that $10 is a plausible target if Aster DeFi exchange edges Hyperliquid by average daily trading volumes, as well as market capitalization. Last week, Aster’s DEX nearly tripled Hyperliquid’s 7-day trading volume from $228.02 billion to $80.53B, according to DeFi stats from CoinMarketCap.
Currently at the 50th position, the fresh-off-the-boat altcoin is nearing a $3 billion global market cap. Up 13.61% from the cycle low of $1.50, Aster’s price regains momentum while still being over 29% down from the all-time high after a 1,602% run since inception two weeks ago. On the other hand, the looming $700 million Aster token unlock this month could shuffle the cards.
