Binance Lists Aster on Spot With Seed Tag as Data Questions Linger

The seed tag signals elevated risk, reflecting unresolved data‑integrity questions after DeFiLlama’s delisting.

Overview

  • Spot trading for ASTER opened on October 6 at 12:00 UTC with USDT, USDC, and TRY pairs, with deposits three hours earlier and withdrawals enabled on October 7 at 12:00 UTC.
  • Binance applied its Seed Tag to ASTER, requiring periodic risk‑quiz renewals and moving balances from Binance Alpha to Spot within 24 hours.
  • DeFiLlama removed Aster’s perpetual‑volume data, citing near‑identical patterns to Binance perps and the lack of lower‑level execution data to verify activity.
  • ASTER rebounded to roughly $2 after the listing, with outlets reporting higher trading volumes following the move to Binance’s primary market.
  • On‑chain tracker Onchain Lens reported a roughly $6 million whale purchase around the listing that was transferred to Binance, a move that could influence near‑term liquidity.
