In the early years, a certain mainstream currency did not dare to get on the car when it was low, and now looking back, it is really regrettable. This time, seeing CZ's strong support for $ASTER, I plan to start slowly laying out around $1 - but definitely not a shuttle.

Let's talk about why you are paying attention to this project first: the trading volume of Perpetual DEX reached 1.5 trillion yuan last year, and Aster's single-day revenue soared to $14.33 million, becoming the second largest platform in the world, leaving Hyperliquid behind. Its dual-mode trading system with 1001x leverage and hidden order functions can be found by both retail investors and institutions. The technical architecture is said to follow the underlying solution of a leading exchange, and stability is indeed guaranteed. More importantly, the tokenomics model - 50% of revenue is directly burned, the unlocking period is postponed to 2035, and the short-term selling pressure will theoretically be halved.

But if you look at it calmly, the risks are also obvious: the top 10 wallets control 91% of the token circulation, and the risk of centralization is there; Hyperliquid holds 75% of the market share; It has fallen by 35% in the past three months, and the possibility of continuing to bottom cannot be ignored.

But to be honest, I'm convinced by CZ's judgment. Back then, he sold houses and studed Bitcoin's ruthlessness, and now he bets heavily on Aster, and I bet that I can get a piece of the pie with people who have a vision for a long time.

My way of playing is very simple: open positions in batches below $1, never all in (everyone understands the volatility of altcoins), first reduce the cost, and then wait for half a year. If the macro environment is really as loose as expected next year, and institutional funds enter the market, there should be drama on this track.
