$BTC

Aster (ASTER) token is currently priced around 0.73 USD (according to data from CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, with slight fluctuations in the last 24 hours). It is the native token of a decentralized perpetual contract exchange (DEX) supporting up to 1001x leverage, cross-chain trading (BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, etc.), and has personal investment and public support from CZ (founder of Binance). It surged to an ATH of around 2.42 USD after the TGE in September 2025 but has since retraced by about 70%. What is the possibility of reaching 10 USD in the future?
Short-term (2025-2026): Not very realistic. The current market cap is about 1.8 billion USD (circulating supply of approximately 2.49 billion tokens), reaching 10 USD would require a market cap exceeding 25 billion USD (FDV even higher, considering a total supply of 8 billion tokens). Current market sentiment is bearish, with TVL dropping from a peak of 2 billion to about 600-700 million USD, and significant token unlock pressure (large unlock in December), coupled with overall crypto market fluctuations, makes it difficult to rebound to 10x in the short term.
