ASTER is preparing for a major milestone as its second airdrop phase is scheduled to begin on October 10, following an explosive growth in open interest that surged to $5 billion in under two weeks. This development has sparked fresh excitement in the crypto community, with traders and influencers closely monitoring the token’s next moves.
Airdrop Phase 2 Details
The ASTER team recently confirmed via X that the Genesis Stage 2 airdrop will conclude on October 5, with reward claims opening on October 10. Token distribution is slated to start from October 14, and participants can use their rewards immediately thanks to the no lock-up policy.

Following this, Stage 3 — Aster Dawn — will run for five weeks, ending November 9. This phase introduces a more sophisticated rewards system, including spot trading incentives, multi-dimensional scoring, and symbol-specific multipliers. Additionally, team boosts now carry over progress, rewarding long-term collaboration rather than resetting weekly.
Market Buzz and Speculation
ASTER’s recent wallet activity has fueled speculation about a Binance listing. On-chain data shows a small test transfer of 20 tokens, followed by a $4.8 million transaction, signaling preparation for larger liquidity movements. Endorsement from former Binance CEO CZ has further heightened expectations, positioning ASTER for potential mass adoption among retail and institutional investors.
Explosive Open Interest Growth
Derivatives markets have reacted sharply to ASTER’s momentum. Analyst Fefe Demeny highlighted that open interest jumped from near zero to $5 billion in just two weeks, surpassing HyperliquidX in short-term engagement despite Hyperliquid’s larger valuation. High-profile investors have also taken notice, with YouTuber MrBeast reportedly adding over 167,000 tokens to his portfolio, bringing his total investment to $1.28 million.

ASTER has experienced a volatile run, climbing from $1.50 to a high of $2.14 before dipping below $1.74, a critical support level. Analyst Ardi notes that reclaiming this level could reignite bullish momentum with targets above $2.30, while failing to hold it may trigger further downside.
With Phase 2 of the airdrop underway, significant market movements, and high-profile endorsements, ASTER is positioning itself for a potential breakout. Traders and enthusiasts will be closely watching developments over the coming weeks as the token navigates both opportunity and volatility.
