This morning, the price of the gold token XAU on Aster was abnormally high for an hour, due to an oracle feeding error.

From 6 to 7 this morning, the price of the gold token XAUUSDT trading pair on Aster showed an abnormal price of only about $2,050. The normal gold price is about $4,050. Community users lamented that they missed the opportunity to buy the gold token at half price.

In response, Aster stated that one of the gold price feeds had an error, causing the XAUUSDT market price to deviate from the real price. This was a global error that affected many platforms, including Aster. Aster will fully compensate all affected users.

On November 14, Aster Perpetual launched the gold token $XAU, supporting up to 20x leverage trading. The 24h trading volume of the XAUUSDT trading pair is about 120,000 USDT, so the number of users actually affected is expected to be very limited.

According to the CEO's previous interviews and documents, in the simple mode of $ASTER , which supports up to 1001x leverage products, the oracle uses sources like Pyth. However, it did not mention any oracle or data source issues in the Perpetual mode aimed at professional traders.

Professionals have indicated to Wu Wei that Aster did not use data sources for the XAU gold token through oracles like Pyth, and the tvs of $PYTH did not show Aster, so it is uncertain whether there is actual access; this XAU quote seems to be a centralized quote from Aster itself.
