Just now @ Aster_deX posted an announcement that directly skyrocketed the coin price by 12 points, bringing laughter and joy to the Holders group that has not been seen for a long time. I have looked at the specific content and it is a major adjustment in the direct token economy, which can be said to be radical. At least the team's attitude and pattern have been put forward. Firstly, the path of token destruction from 8 billion to 3 billion (62.5% of the supply is destroyed) is a quantifiable deflationary commitment. This is the most direct way to reinforce the market's expectation of scarcity. The repurchase funds come from platform fees - not printing money out of thin air or diluting team shares, but generating a self circulating real cash flow. 99% of the cost is used for repurchase, indicating the project party's emphasis on the currency price. The repurchased ASTER is allocated to the holders of veASTER, which is a great comfort for the holders participating in the pledge, as it is painful to see the pledge fall. Holders who have not yet pledged their assets may choose to pledge to increase their currency base and wait for market improvement. When @ HyperliquidX was riding high with the momentum of RWA in the US stock market, @ Aster_deX finally started to take action, especially when it finally began to use the leverage of currency price. It should be noted that a large number of foreigners first paid attention to the unknown Aster, which was a violent and extreme way to pull the market? I have already raised my opinion many times: The point of changing faith with a big bullish candlestick is never outdated, just like @ Backpack who was cursed to death a few months ago. When BP pulled away, more and more people began to face up to what they were doing. I'm glad I finally heard it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Of course, the extent to which Aster's subsequent announcement can be sustained depends on several key data points: Repurchase amount The current daily average platform fees determine the daily repurchase scale. If the repurchase amount is disclosed and shows a smaller scale, the rebound may be reversed. Actual TVL and cost growth on Aster platform If DeFi activity is stable or growing, fees → repurchases → supply pressure → coin prices form a supporting flywheel. If platform activity declines and repurchase momentum weakens, the coin price may hit a new bottom. Anyway, ASTER has gone from 8 billion to 3 billion in 3-5 years, which is a 62.5% deflation rate and belongs to a very aggressive level. It reflects sufficient sincerity and the team's attitude of continuing to forge ahead in the bear market. Respect ! @Leonard_Aster @Kathy_Aster
