In the shadowed corridors of digital gold, where algorithms whisper and wallets tremble, Changpeng Zhao strolls like a czar with a tweet. Is his Aster dalliance a noble experiment or a carnival barker’s trick? The market, ever the eager acolyte, chants in dollar signs.
- Zhao’s Aster purchase-a mere flick of the wrist-sparked a 35% rally, proving crowds still bow to kings in crypto’s wild west.
- His social media sermons, like Musk’s Dogecoin hymns, turn idle words into liquidity alchemy. “Lower fees, higher volume” becomes a mantra, not a math problem.
- YZi Labs, Binance’s shadow hand, threads Aster into its tapestry, weaving decentralization dreams with centralized strings.
- Aster vs. Hyperliquid: The derivatives duel now rages, where code and charisma clash like swords in a data-driven joust.

CZ’s Aster Overture
On Nov. 2, 2025, the crypto cosmos trembled as Changpeng Zhao, Binance’s maestro, declared he had “bought some Aster” with his own funds. The token, a mere speck in the blockchain firmament, soared 35%, only to wobble back down like a drunkard’s dance. CZ, ever the statesman, insisted he was “not a trader” but a “long-term holder”-a claim as believable as a snowman’s summer vacation.
Full disclosure. I just bought some Aster today, using my own money, on @Binance.
I am not a trader. I buy and hold.

Over two months, CZ’s tweets became a masterclass in market manipulation. September 17: “Well done. Good start. Keep building.” September 29: “Lower fees, higher volume.” October 4: “Aster looks great in black and yellow.” Each post, a brushstroke in a portrait of influence, blending fact with flair like a poet selling futures.
At the risk of stating the obvious:
Aster’s per-trade fees are lower (cheaper for users).
Lower fees, higher volume.

By the time he praised Aster’s Token 2049 booth in black and yellow (Binance’s colors, of course), the token had become less a financial instrument and more a stage prop in a play written by CZ himself.
These two photos won Token 2049. Aster looks great in black and yellow, IMO.😆
I have not interacted with @Tintinx2021 enough to be able to comment.@ShirleyXBT has been working at @Binance for a few years. She is super smart and sharp. @heyibinance hires the best brains.

Musk’s Moonlit Precedent
Elon Musk, crypto’s original shaman, once turned Dogecoin into a meme-madness moonshot. His tweets-“Dogecoin to the Moon,” “The people’s crypto”-were less commentary than incantations. By 2021, DOGE had surged 20,000%, its value buoyed by tweets, not tech. CZ’s Aster saga mirrors this, swapping electric cars for decentralized exchanges, but the script remains the same: personality > protocol.
In 2019, Musk’s “Dogecoin might be my fav cryptocurrency” tweet sent the price soaring 33%. By 2021, “Dogecoin to the Moon” became a rallying cry, with $20B daily volumes. CZ’s Aster, though, plays the game with a straight face, framing his posts as “factual” rather than whimsical. Yet the result? Same circus, new clowns.
Binance’s Hidden Thread
YZi Labs, Binance’s venture arm (formerly Binance Labs), holds Aster’s leash. A seed investment in Aster’s predecessor, Astherus, ties the project to Binance’s ecosystem like a puppet to its strings. Aster’s Token Generation Event in September 2025? A well-rehearsed ballet, backed by Binance’s liquidity and branding muscle.
Hyperliquid (HYPE), the decentralized derivatives titan, now faces Aster as a challenger. October 2025 saw Hyperliquid’s monthly volume hit $308B, but Aster’s September volume briefly reached $22B, thanks to incentives and CZ’s megaphone. The rivalry is less about innovation and more about who can shout loudest in the crypto echo chamber.
The DEX Deathmatch
Perpetual futures, the crypto world’s latest obsession, now dominate trading. In Q3 2025, decentralized perpetuals hit $1.8T in volume, with Hyperliquid claiming 54% of open interest. Aster, meanwhile, bets on Binance’s network and CZ’s celebrity to disrupt the status quo.
The next act in this drama hinges on whether Aster’s hype can outlast its incentives or if Hyperliquid’s depth will drown it in liquidity. As institutions flock to regulated perpetuals, the DEX war becomes a clash of ideals: decentralization as a dream or a marketing ploy?
In the end, the market dances to the tune of personalities, not code. CZ’s Aster, like Musk’s Dogecoin, is less a token and more a mirror-reflecting our faith in messiahs, our thirst for miracles, and our stubborn refusal to let logic spoil the party. 🚀💸
