Aster (ASTER) has surged to new heights after CEO Leonard revealed ambitious plans, including a proprietary Layer-1 blockchain, potential Binance listing, and a buyback program.
The decentralized exchange (DEX) has rapidly gained traction, securing the second spot in daily revenue with $9.2 million, trailing only Tether’s $21.99 million and surpassing Circle’s $7.72 million, as per DefiLlama data.
Leonard confirmed that the highly anticipated Aster Chain is in testing. The new blockchain promises sub-second finality, integrated perpetual contracts, low fees, and enhanced privacy.
The CEO said that Aster Chain will enable verifiable trades without revealing individual positions, balancing transparency with privacy.

While stressing that the ultimate goal is not just to be listed on Binance, Leonard said, “Binance listing is in our plan. We can’t disclose when exactly that will happen because we are still negotiating with the Binance team.”
His vision is for Aster to become as influential in decentralized finance as Binance is in centralized trading.
Addressing community questions around token buybacks during the AMA with CoinTelegraph, Leonard said the team is still finalizing details but views buybacks as the most direct way of returning value to the community.

MACD shows bullish continuation with the MACD line above the signal line, while the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) at 0.15 highlights steady capital inflows.
The immediate resistance sits at $2.32. A breakout could push ASTER toward $2.50 and $2.70 if momentum continues, potentially making ASTER a top crypto to buy in 2025.
Meanwhile, the support lies at the middle Bollinger Band around $2.06. If selling pressure intensifies, a deeper correction to $1.80 remains possible.
