Aster DEX vs CEX Claim on X: @KookCapitalLLC Flags ‘Wallet Login’ Risk—Verification Pending for Traders
According to @KookCapitalLLC, a claim is circulating that Aster may not be a DEX but a CEX using a wallet-based login, and the author is seeking confirmation rather than presenting evidence (source: @KookCapitalLLC on X, Sep 26, 2025). Because the post provides no technical documentation, contract addresses, or official statement, the allegation remains unverified and should not be treated as tradeable information by itself (source: @KookCapitalLLC on X, Sep 26, 2025). Traders with exposure to Aster-linked assets or liquidity pools may choose to pause new allocations until on-chain architecture, custody model, and smart contract control are confirmed by official Aster materials, which were not included in the post (source: @KookCapitalLLC on X, Sep 26, 2025). Monitoring for verifiable disclosures from Aster’s official channels or audits is key before pricing in custodial risk or adjusting positions based on this claim (source: @KookCapitalLLC on X, Sep 26, 2025). |
