CEO Aster Leonard revealed at an event in Jeju that the team is developing a public network focused on privacy and zero-fee transactions. According to him, the solution is built for active traders who prioritize speed and trading predictability.
Aster also plans to list tokenized futures for traditional stocks and partner with the Buidlpad platform. This collaboration will allow the launch of futures for upcoming projects even before their official market debut, helping accelerate price discovery and increase early-stage liquidity.
Earlier this week, interest in the Aster token surged after Changpeng Zhao’s (CZ) post that he had purchased about 2 million tokens.
“I just bought some Aster today with my own money,” Zhao wrote on X.
Investors interpreted the move as a show of confidence from one of the most influential figures in crypto. Trading activity spiked, and Aster’s price quickly jumped by nearly 20%. However, the token soon fell to $0.8393, down 20.48% within 24 hours.
“Looks like I’m unlucky again this time,” Zhao said, joking that he has a 100% failure rate on trades.
He recalled that in 2014 he bought Bitcoin at $600 only to see it drop to $200, and that in 2017 his BNB investment also fell by as much as 30%.
Zhao added that he will refrain from publicly disclosing future purchases to avoid influencing the market.
