The team at the Aster derivatives exchange has confirmed that significant changes have been made to the platform’s tokenomics model.
According to the statement, many ASTER token unlocks planned for 2025 have been completely canceled, with most postponed to the summer of 2026. It’s noteworthy that some unlocks have been postponed until 2035.
Responding to the controversy surrounding calendar shifts seen in ASTER data on Binance, the team stated that monthly ecosystem unlocks were originally part of the initial plan, but that they had halted the process due to the current lack of need for these tokens. The team explained, “We will not be offering these monthly unlocks unless there is a need for ecosystem use.”
Despite the tokenomics adjustment, the ASTER price remains stable for now. The token is currently trading at $1.13, roughly 24% above Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ)’s $0.91 average price.
Aster’s one-month performance is in negative territory with a 14.09% decline.
