The new perpetual DEX Aster (ASTER) is back in the spotlight as token claims for Season 2 of its airdrops are finally live.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ASTER price is showing a mild bounce back, opposite of the sharp sell-off that investors were expecting heading into the event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In another major bullish development, Aster DEX has completed the first round of its token buyback, <\/span>purchasing<\/span><\/a> 100 million ASTER coins worth over $140 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is also growing speculation that the exchange may turn token buybacks into a recurring program, with an official announcement expected soon to offset any selling pressure from airdrop claims. Considering Aster\u2019s massive trading volume and rapidly rising revenue, a sustained buyback initiative could act as a powerful bullish catalyst for ASTER.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prominent analysts remain bullish with their Aster price predictions, with $4 emerging as a consensus price target. However, interested buyers need to be cautious of a key resistance level, which could push the price even lower.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ASTER Airdrop Claims Go Live, Is A Larger Crash Coming?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Season 2 of Aster\u2019s airdrop, Genesis, is now complete and token claims are finally live.<\/span><\/p>\n

Typically, airdrops lead to heavy selling pressure as recipients rush to lock in quick profits. However, sentiment around ASTER remains notably bullish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Several community members on social media say they\u2019re holding rather than selling, including trader <\/span>Marcell<\/span><\/a>, who described himself as all-in on Aster after buying from $0.14 to $1.90.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marcell said the Aster team has been highly responsive and well backed by Yzi Labs and Binance co-founder CZ Zhou, adding that he believes ASTER could eventually flip HYPE and become one of the top ten cryptos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He also called BNB x ASTER his biggest spot holding, reflecting the growing confidence in the project despite the airdrop unlock.<\/span><\/p>\n

Notably, Aster hasn\u2019t followed the traditional route of handing large allocations to whales. Instead, the project distributed smaller airdrops to a wider base of users, creating broader excitement and stronger on-chain engagement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Binance co-founder CZ even retweeted RuneCrypto\u2019s <\/span>post<\/span><\/a> praising this model, highlighting how rewarding everyday traders helps build lasting network momentum rather than short-term hype.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means that the token price won\u2019t crash from profit-taking by just a few whales. Instead, the Aster price is up by over 9% from Monday\u2019s lows, trading at $1.48 at press time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
