Aster’s Fee Performance
On-chain data reveals that Aster generated approximately $14.33 million in fees over the past day. This achievement places the digital asset as the world’s second-highest protocol for fee collection, moving ahead of established players like Circle and Uniswap. The numbers show consistent performance too – Aster earned $69.6 million in fees during the last week and $75 million over the past month.
What’s interesting is how this compares to other protocols. Aster’s fee capture level sits just behind Tether, which recorded $22.18 million. But perhaps more telling is that Aster’s fee generation is about ten times greater than Hyperliquid’s. That’s quite a gap when you think about it.
Trading Volume and Market Position
Looking at trading activity, DeFiLlama data shows Aster processed $206.92 million in DEX volume during the last 24 hours. Over a seven-day period, that figure jumps to $3.321 billion. Despite these impressive numbers, Aster currently ranks 11th globally in DEX volume, trailing behind its competitor Hyperliquid, which holds the 5th position.
Hyperliquid’s numbers are worth noting – $639.83 million in daily DEX volume and $5.394 billion over the past week. So while Aster leads in fee generation, Hyperliquid still dominates in trading volume. It’s an interesting dynamic between these two platforms.
Perpetual Futures Focus
Aster has attracted trader attention primarily through its specialization in perpetual futures trading. The platform offers up to 1,001x maximum leverage options, which is significantly higher than what many competitors provide. During its first week of operation, Aster actually surpassed Hyperliquid in daily revenue, though it remained behind in overall trading volume.
The perpetual trading statistics are quite substantial. At publication time, Aster’s perpetual trading volume reached $62.486 billion in 24 hours. Over 30 days, that figure climbs to $908.253 billion, with a weekly change of 184.81% in perpetual volume.
Market Performance and Future Plans
Aster’s token has shown remarkable growth, increasing 4% in the last day to reach $1.96. Since its launch in September, the token has surged by 1,903.8%. Prediction market Myriad suggests there’s a 45% chance Aster could reach $4 by October’s end.
The token’s initial performance was even more explosive – it rose 2,000% in its first week, reaching a market capitalization of $3.8 billion. Currently, its market cap stands at $3.18 billion, making it the 38th largest digital asset.
Changpeng Zhao, Binance’s CEO, recently clarified his relationship with Aster, stating his involvement is strictly advisory and limited to product and technology guidance. He emphasized that Aster’s team includes former Binance employees but maintains close ties to the BNB chain ecosystem.
Looking ahead, Aster plans to transition from BNB Chain to its own dedicated layer-1 network. The project is currently in internal testing phases, with designs focused on preserving trade privacy. The ongoing airdrop, launched during the token generation event, is scheduled to conclude on October 17. Any unclaimed tokens will return to the community rewards pool, which represents 53.5% of Aster’s total token supply.
