According to trusted platforms like DefiLlama, most of the volume on Aster appears to come from wash trading, with several indicators still unverified.

Even so, CZ remains determined to push $ASTER forward as a competitor to Hyperliquid and Lighter in the future.

Let’s see what happens next.

Perpdex is becoming one of the hottest narratives in the market, especially after CZ shilled and pushed $ASTER as Binance’s strategic play to compete in the perpdex sector.

The perpdex market share could be redistributed as soon as Q4 2025.

Either way, perpdex remains a sector worth grinding for airdrops and chasing profits.

Let’s dive deeper into this trend.

Time: The airdrop will resume at 11:45 (UTC)

Eligible users can claim an airdrop of 180 XPL tokens on the Alpha Events page within 24 hours once trading begins by using Binance Alpha Points.

🌟 The Binance Alpha Airdrop will be distributed in two phases:

- Phase 1 (first 18 hours): Users with at least 200 Binance Alpha Points can claim the airdrop.

- Phase 2 (last 6 hours): Users with at least 100 Binance Alpha Points can participate in the airdrop on a first-come, first-served basis. If the rewards are not fully distributed, the score threshold will automatically decrease by 15 points every hour.
