After the general market weakness in early Q4, ASTER has remained stable thank to its clear development roadmap. Recently, the project implemented strong deflationary measures in parallel with the announcement of an ambitious 2026 roadmap.
🔹 $ASTER Dex has completed it season 3 buyback program with a total accumulated value of $173.3 million (165.8 million token).
77.86 million ASTER (worth ~$89.8 million) were burned, permanently removed from circulation.
50% of the remaining buyback tokens were transferred to a locked wallet for a future airdrop.
🔸 ASTER is transforming from a simple DEX into a full stack liquidity network.
Q1 2026: Launch of Layer1 Mainnet, Aster Code dev toolkit and Fiat payment gateway.
Q2 2026: Enable Staking, On chain Governance and Smart Money tracker.
🔹 The buyback has absorbed the selling pressure, helping ASTER price consolidate in the accumulation zone.
If the buying pressure hold, ASTER need to reclaim the middle Bollinger Band at $1.1 to create momentum to break the $1.3 resistance.
Bull are forced to hold the $1.0 level; if they fail, the price may find support below at $0.91.
With the supply plummeting and the L1 infrastructure about to launch, ASTER is springing up for a new growth if the general market supports it.
Do you think the Layer1 launch in 2026 will help ASTER compete with the big guy like $HYPE or $DYDX ?
