ASTER previously rose to a two-week high of $0.607 as trading volume jumped 49% to $56 million after Aster burned 2.85 million tokens worth about $1.74 million, taking cumulative destroyed supply to 188.87 million ASTER. The token's supply squeeze has since been reinforced by a broader reduction strategy: Aster has allocated 99% of daily platform fees to buybacks, burned more than 11 million tokens since June, and promoted staking that has locked roughly 5.3% to 8.1% of supply. Exchange outflows have also tightened available circulation. Token burns and buybacks are commonly used to reduce tradable supply, while staking can further constrain liquidity by removing tokens from the market.
