99% of the fees are used to buy back and burn, with $140,000 to $150k USD directly injected into buy orders daily.

The official statement says that starting today, 99% of the platform fees will automatically buy back $ASTER, all allocated to locked veASTER holders, while the project’s reserve fund burns an equivalent amount of ASTER. This means that for every dollar spent on fees, the market is hit with two dollars’ worth of buy pressure.

The total supply has decreased from 8 billion to 3 billion, and this burn ratio is more aggressive than many other projects.

Honestly, my first reaction to this mechanism was—another wealth-building story. But what really makes me hesitate is: with an average daily fee of $140,000 to $150k USD, can that volume sustain a positive flywheel?

If the platform’s revenue doesn’t pick up, the buy pressure is just a drip from a faucet. Hyperliquid’s model relies on real trading volume backed by real money, so whether Aster has that kind of foundation depends on the data in the coming weeks.

But from a sentiment perspective, this news is definitely explosive. The supply has been cut by 62.5%, plus the 198% buyback/burn pressure, short-term FOMO will definitely be amplified.

I just saw $HYPE moving on the volatility radar, up 2 points, and the overall DeFi sector sentiment is clearly warming up. If Aster’s new approach can boost traffic and TVL, the rotation logic of the altseason might be reshuffled again.

Seeing this, are you going to jump in or keep watching the show?
