Aster Jumps 15% After Rocket Launch Rollout and CZ Pardon

Falling volume during the move points to concentrated whale buying.

Aster token price gains 15% as trump pardons cz, reward campaign launch boosts sentiment

Overview

  • ASTER rose about 15% on Oct. 23 to roughly $1.11–$1.14, lifting its market capitalization above $2.2 billion.
  • Aster introduced Rocket Launch, a program offering early access to new on-chain projects with a $200,000 reward pool in ASTER and partner tokens.
  • Projects contribute capital and tokens that Aster uses for ASTER buybacks, then distributes the repurchased ASTER alongside partner tokens to qualified traders.
  • The first event features APRO Oracle, with eligibility requiring at least $1,000 in AT/USDT trading and a 100 ASTER balance during Oct. 24–Nov. 6.
  • President Trump pardoned CZ on Oct. 23, and outlets citing CoinMarketCap reported the rally coincided with roughly a 5% dip in volume, indicating whale-led demand.
