According to @AggrNews, on-chain data indicates the ASTER team burned approximately $80 million worth of tokens from its buyback wallet (source: @AggrNews). Token burns permanently remove tokens from circulation, reducing available supply and tightening float, which traders track via circulating supply and exchange balance metrics (sources: Binance Academy; Glassnode). Near term, traders can monitor ASTER exchange inflows/outflows, DEX liquidity depth, and order book spreads to gauge volatility and liquidity shifts around the burn event (sources: Glassnode; Kaiko).
