According to @OnchainDataNerd, a fresh wallet 0x913 withdrew 668,000 ASTER (about $703,000) from Binance roughly two hours ago, based on the shared on-chain trace and address explorer link source: @OnchainDataNerd on X. According to @OnchainDataNerd, the same wallet amassed a total of 2,000,000 ASTER over three days at an average entry near $1.03, offering a concrete reference level for whale positioning analysis source: @OnchainDataNerd on X. According to @OnchainDataNerd, the reported $1.03 average and the 668,000-coin exchange outflow highlight a clear on-chain accumulation footprint that traders can track for liquidity and order flow reactions around that cost basis source: @OnchainDataNerd on X.

According to @lookonchain, on-chain wallet "ThisWillMakeYouLoveAgain" deposited 4.21M USDT and purchased 4.6M ASTER at an average price around $0.915 over the past 14 hours (source: Lookonchain on X). The wallet address is 0x373704e394EF150241aeE836115d78Aba3FC5c76, as referenced in Arkham Intelligence’s explorer (source: Arkham Intelligence via Lookonchain). @lookonchain also reports the same address previously realized $36.21M profit trading PEPE, indicating a history of profitable large-size trades (source: Lookonchain on X). The whale’s apparent cost basis near $0.915 provides a clear on-chain reference level for monitoring liquidity and flows in ASTER (source: Lookonchain on X).

According to @ai_9684xtpa, chatter that CZ sold ASTER was countered by CZ stating he bought over 2M ASTER and that he rarely buys coins, source: @ai_9684xtpa on X. According to @ai_9684xtpa, an on-chain review of Hyperliquid $ASTER airdrop top-1 position holder 0x9ee...1daAb shows recent margin inflows labeled from AstherusVault and Aster(Game), but the referenced vault address interacts with many wallets with heavy daily flows, so labeling it as “treasury behavior” is not well supported, source: @ai_9684xtpa on X. According to @ai_9684xtpa, the upstream fund source 0x04D...3eE2C originated from a Binance withdrawal three years ago, and a frequently interacting address 0xBAD...39eE6 also lacks evidence linking it to the treasury, source: @ai_9684xtpa on X. According to the source, Aster’s official treasury addresses are publicly disclosed and can be directly monitored for balances and movements at docs.asterdex.com/overview/what-is-aster/our-smart-contracts, source: Aster documentation. Trading takeaway: Treat the “treasury short” narrative as unverified and track official treasury wallets and Hyperliquid metrics for confirmation before positioning in $ASTER, source: @ai_9684xtpa on X and Aster documentation.

According to the source, ASTER rallied over 30% after Changpeng Zhao (CZ) disclosed he personally holds more than $2.5 million of ASTER purchased on Binance, stating "I am not a trader. I buy and hold." (source) The source directly links the intraday price spike to CZ’s disclosure, highlighting a sentiment-driven move that traders often monitor for short-term momentum and liquidity shifts on Binance spot for ASTER (source). No additional details on wallet addresses, trade timing, or execution were provided by the source (source).

According to @OnchainLens, a whale who opened a $ASTER 3x short after CZ announced buying $ASTER is now sitting on over $1 million in floating losses, source: x.com/OnchainLens/status/1985009790758826131. According to @OnchainLens and the on-chain dashboard, wallet 0x9eec98D048D06D9CD75318FFfA3f3960e081daAb shows an unrealized loss exceeding $1.3 million, sources: x.com/OnchainLens/status/1985009790758826131 and hyperbot.network/trader/0x9eec98D048D06D9CD75318FFfA3f3960e081daAb.

According to @OnchainLens, a single wallet withdrew 5.8M ASTER, valued at about 5.58M USD, from Binance and deposited the tokens into Aster DEX; across the last 6 days, the same address cumulatively withdrew 6.8M ASTER worth about 6.66M USD from Binance (data: Nansen; address: 0x914bf97b6da54772e892a925dc4358ac5d881536). These transfers indicate a net ASTER outflow from Binance by this wallet over the stated period and relocation of balances to Aster DEX, based on Nansen on-chain data shared by @OnchainLens. Traders can monitor subsequent on-chain activity from this address and its interactions with Aster DEX to track flow-driven liquidity changes, using the Nansen dataset cited by @OnchainLens.

According to @lookonchain, the reported 31.84M ASTER ($34.53M) transfer was an internal move between Binance hot wallets and not linked to CZ’s wallet. Source: Lookonchain on X, Oct 31, 2025. @lookonchain cites Arkham Intel Explorer as the on-chain source for the ASTER token flows, guiding traders to classify the event as an exchange internal transfer rather than founder-linked activity.

According to @PANewsCN, X user @FarzadXBT claimed a CZ-linked wallet sold 35 million ASTER worth $30.42 million, but on-chain analyst EmberCN reported there are no corresponding on-chain transfers for the alleged sell-off. EmberCN added that the three cited ASTER transactions were internal transfers between Binance hot wallets and that wallet 0x889 was falsely presented as CZ’s wallet via edited screenshots. For traders, this debunk means there is no verified large ASTER sell pressure from CZ-linked addresses; treat rumor-driven volatility as FUD and monitor Binance hot wallet flows rather than reacting to doctored images, per @PANewsCN and @EmberCN.

According to @EmberCN, the viral claim that CZ sold 35 million ASTER came from an X post by @FarzadXBT, but the referenced transactions map to Binance hot-wallet internal transfers rather than CZ disposals. source: @EmberCN on X, 2025-10-31; @FarzadXBT on X A review of ASTER token flows on Arkham Intelligence with a filter above 10,000,000 ASTER reveals three large transfers between Binance hot wallets, including address 0x889 that some posts mislabelled as CZ’s wallet. source: @EmberCN on X, 2025-10-31; Arkham Intelligence ASTER explorer at intel.arkm.com/explorer/token/aster-2 There is no on-chain evidence confirming a 35M ASTER sale by CZ at the time of the cited transfers. source: @EmberCN on X, 2025-10-31; Arkham Intelligence ASTER explorer at intel.arkm.com/explorer/token/aster-2 For trading, this means no confirmed new sell-side supply from CZ is evidenced in those transfers, and traders should verify wallet ownership tags and cross-check flows before reacting to rumors. source: @EmberCN on X, 2025-10-31; Arkham Intelligence ASTER explorer at intel.arkm.com/explorer/token/aster-2

According to @OnchainLens citing @nansen_ai data, a newly created wallet withdrew $5.3M USDT from Aster DEX and spent $3.2M USDT to purchase 2.94M ASTER at an average price of $1.09 over the past 15 hours. According to @OnchainLens and @nansen_ai, the wallet address 0xe307f534eec7256331c347ad73e7a08446f1d7a7 still holds $2M USDT, leaving roughly 38 percent of the initial $5.3M balance unspent. According to @OnchainLens based on @nansen_ai on-chain records, the ASTER position’s on-chain cost basis is $1.09, providing a concrete reference for tracking subsequent flows from this address.

According to @PANewsCN citing Onchain Lens, a whale deposited 5.34 million ASTER (about $5.64 million) to Binance, realizing $5.32 million in profit (source: @PANewsCN; Onchain Lens). According to @PANewsCN citing Onchain Lens, six months earlier the address withdrew 4.63 million ASTER (about $283,200) from MEXC and used 50,212 USDT to buy 704,900 ASTER via Aster DEX; at the peak, the holdings were worth $10.8 million, implying a maximum possible profit of $10.47 million if sold at the top (source: @PANewsCN; Onchain Lens).

According to @OnchainLens, a whale deposited 5.34M ASTER (about $5.64M) to Binance, making a profit of $5.32M; address: 0x2DeC6a4c5bAa421cb654F7bA01E2356EB03B9F752, source: @OnchainLens; data: Nansen. According to @OnchainLens, the wallet previously withdrew 4.63M ASTER (about $283.2K) from MEXC around six months ago and spent $50,212 USDT to acquire 704.9K ASTER, later converted on Aster DEX, source: @OnchainLens; data: Nansen. According to @OnchainLens, the holder transferred these ASTER to Aster DEX when the position was valued at $10.8M, and if sold at the peak, the trade could have yielded $10.47M, source: @OnchainLens; data: Nansen.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, ASTER has moved back above 1 US dollar and the impact from a one-time KOL round unlock in overseas communities has largely been absorbed, while the platform rolls out the Rocket Launch program; source: @ai_9684xtpa on X, Oct 24, 2025. According to @ai_9684xtpa, Rocket Launch requires projects to provide both tokens and capital, with the capital used to repurchase ASTER, and user allocation is based on trading activity rather than deposit size; source: @ai_9684xtpa on X, Oct 24, 2025. According to @ai_9684xtpa, the model raises the bar for listings by requiring Aster to secure token and capital commitments from projects compared with typical Launchpad or IDO formats; source: @ai_9684xtpa on X, Oct 24, 2025. According to @ai_9684xtpa, the first Rocket Launch target, AT, is scheduled to begin today at 6 o’clock, creating an immediate event-driven window for traders to track liquidity and on-chain trading volume on Aster; source: @ai_9684xtpa on X, Oct 24, 2025.

According to @OnchainDataNerd, three new wallets withdrew a total of 4.66 million ASTER, about 4.79 million dollars, from Binance in the past 8 hours, and their average entry price was 1.02 dollars, per @OnchainDataNerd. The source also provided the three recipient addresses via Arkham links, per @OnchainDataNerd. This equals a 4.66 million ASTER net outflow from Binance during that window, per @OnchainDataNerd.

According to @lookonchain, whale address 0xFB3B has deposited 58.6M ASTER (about $92.3M) to Binance at an average price of $1.57. According to @lookonchain, the deposits were sent to a Binance wallet attributed to Daniel Larimer (@bytemaster7). According to @lookonchain, the address still holds 14.1M ASTER (about $18M) and is already down over $23M in total losses. Based on @lookonchain data, traders can monitor wallet 0xFB3B and ASTER order-book activity on Binance to track further exchange inflows.

According to @OnchainDataNerd, an address attributed to Galaxy Digital deposited another 9.57 million ASTER, valued at approximately 12.53 million dollars, into Binance within 12 hours, as reported on X and linked with the on-chain address 0xFB3BF33Ba8E5d08D87B0db0e46952144DF822833 (source: x.com/OnchainDataNerd/status/1979007619462246550; intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/0xFB3BF33Ba8E5d08D87B0db0e46952144DF822833). For trading, this flow confirms 9.57 million ASTER in exchange-bound supply from the referenced wallet, which traders can verify in real time via the cited Arkham address and the X post for timing and size details (source: x.com/OnchainDataNerd/status/1979007619462246550; intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/0xFB3BF33Ba8E5d08D87B0db0e46952144DF822833).

According to @EmberCN, two whale/institution addresses sent a combined 17.857 million ASTER worth $22.88 million to centralized exchanges today, split as 9.575 million ASTER to Binance and 8.282 million ASTER to Bybit (source: @EmberCN X post dated Oct 17, 2025). For Whale 1, who previously accumulated 64.535 million ASTER via Gate, a total of 58.608 million ASTER ($92.25 million) has been transferred into Binance over the past week, including 9.575 million ASTER ($12.53 million) today; the address now holds 5.926 million ASTER ($7.42 million), and the author expects this remainder could be cleared by tomorrow morning (sources: @EmberCN; Arkham Intelligence address 0xFB3BF33Ba8E5d08D87B0db0e46952144DF822833). For Whale 2, which joined the WLFI public sale with 10 million USDT for 200 million WLFI, 8.282 million ASTER was withdrawn from Bybit three weeks ago at $2.03 (valued at $16.86 million) and then sent back to Bybit eight hours ago; with ASTER at $1.25 per the author, that tranche reflects an unrealized loss of $6.52 million (sources: @EmberCN; Arkham Intelligence address 0xE549be6f8c3d804b2E76fbEd3f0B45CaF10387f0). From a trading perspective, today’s deposits increased exchange-side ASTER supply by at least 17.857 million from these two addresses; if Whale 1’s remaining 5.926 million is also deposited as the author anticipates, the combined potential exchange-available supply from these two could reach approximately 23.783 million ASTER in the near term (sources: sizes and expectation per @EmberCN; Arkham Intelligence).
