Crypto: ASTER could exceed hype in value and jump by 480 % according to an analyst

In a few days, portfolios identified as whales have moved tens of millions of dollars in hype to ASTER, a newly launched token on a Dex supported by Changpeng Zhao. This massive capital movement, observed on September 17, quickly propelled Aster from the 40 largest world crypto.

ASTER SURPLESSE HYPE

While the Crypto market takes a new shock, Aster has established itself as one of the most dynamic tokens of the moment since its launch on September 17, in particular against Hype, its direct competitor in the world of DEX with more than $ 171 billion in weekly trading.

This trend reversal is based on objective and measurable indicators, which testify to a change of balance in the sector. The market now seems to enhance ASTER on the basis of solid fundamentals, to the detriment of a loss of speed hype.

Here are the main factual elements that explain this reversal:

• Price performance: Aster has recorded an increase of +7,950 % since its introduction, reaching approximately $ 2, against a drop of more than 16 % for hype over the same period;

• Stock market capitalization: Aster is now valued at $ 3.74 billion, ranking 36^th global crypto;

• The comparison of fundamentals: according to analyst Marcell, Aster has exceeded hype in terms daily exchange volume and income generated.

Indeed, Marcell affirms: “If ASTER reaches the same level of valuation as hype at its top, its price could increase up to $ 9.69”or a potential increase of 480 % compared to the current level.

Danny, another analyst who predicted the increase in $ 2, evoked now a target of 8 to 10 billion dollars in capitalization, which could be reached “From next week”.

On-chain data show a convergence of indicators in favor of Aster. The market seems to revalue the project by positioning it as a serious alternative to Hype, now distant on several key levels.

Aster becomes the playground for strategic capital

Beyond the figures, it is the behavior of large investors that gives another reading of the Aster phenomenon. Last Monday, a portfolio identified as a whale liquidated $ 17 million in hype to reinject almost 9 million in ASTER, according to data shared by the MLM account on X.

This is not an isolated case because a second wallet has acquired $ 50 million tokens Aster in a single day, and another has placed an additional 14 million. According to Lookonchainan investor nicknamed the “Mystery Whale” would have accumulated more than $ 75 million in aster alone in just two days.

This massive transfer of capital reflects strategic confidence in the future of the project, at a time when Aster Superform in terms of basic economic activities. Whales, often precursors in their movements, seem to consider that the risk/opportunity ratio is now in favor of Aster, while Hype seems to run out of steam.

This manifest confidence could encourage institutional or individual investors to follow the movement, in a well -known mimetic logic in the crypto ecosystem.

Far from being harmless, this repositioning of major market players could have short and medium -term training effects. If it is confirmed that ASTER continues to capture liquidity, the associated platform could become a central pole of the new generation of Dex. Conversely, the downward pressure on the hype price could intensify, accelerating a form of relegation.
