Coinbase Picks ASTER for Roadmap, Price Surge Next?

Key Insights:

• ASTER added to Coinbase roadmap, showing growing attention on DeFi tokens from major exchanges.
• ASTER trades above $1.00 after roadmap news, with $1.20 acting as key resistance level.
• No confirmed listing date yet, but roadmap inclusion hints at future support once criteria are met.

Coinbase has added Aster (ASTER) to its official roadmap. The update, published through the company’s asset transparency blog, shows that ASTER is now among the tokens Coinbase plans to list in the future. The same update also included Monad (MON) and QCAD (QCAD).

This move follows Coinbase’s recent policy change to only share tokens it has decided to list. The blog no longer features a consideration list. Instead, assets are only added once Coinbase completes an internal review and decides to proceed with integration steps.

Listing Decision Doesn’t Guarantee Trading

Although ASTER is on the roadmap, the token is not yet available for deposit or trading. Coinbase has made it clear that any premature transfers of unsupported tokens may result in lost funds. The company said it would only enable trading when infrastructure is ready and liquidity support is confirmed.

The blog added that asset listings are subject to delay or removal for multiple reasons. These may include legal reviews, technical challenges, or compliance concerns. In one section, the company states, “There will be times when an asset is delayed or removed… for any number of factors.”

This process applies to all roadmap additions, including ASTER. No timeline was shared for when trading might begin.

ASTER Price Holds Above $1.00

After the roadmap update, ASTER showed a slight price uptick. The token is trading near $1.06, with support found around $1.00. Resistance is forming at $1.20, a level traders are watching closely. A move above it could open the way toward $1.50 and possibly $1.70 if volume increases.

On the downside, if ASTER falls below $1.00, short-term support appears near $0.95. Market reaction remains cautious, as confirmation of a Coinbase listing has not yet been provided.

Growing Focus on DeFi-Based Assets

ASTER runs on the BNB Smart Chain and is connected to the broader DeFi ecosystem. Its appearance on Coinbase’s roadmap suggests more attention toward decentralized platforms.

Coinbase repeated that listing decisions are based on internal criteria. One line in the blog reads, “We have concluded that the asset does not meet our minimum listing standards,” as a reason some tokens remain unlisted. ASTER has cleared that bar, but no launch date has been set.
