Aster takes a hit after DeFi Llama delisting.
$ASTER drops 10% as fake volume concerns surface.
Rough day for one of the top perp DEXs — Aster just saw its token tumble by 10% after DeFi Llama removed its trading volume metrics from the site. The reason? Allegations of wash trading — or at least, suspiciously perfect correlation between Aster’s reported volume and Binance’s.
DeFi Llama’s founder, 0xngmi, said they couldn’t verify Aster’s on-chain trade data since the platform doesn’t share detailed order-level info. Until that transparency improves, Aster’s stats will stay off the aggregator.
It’s a sharp reminder that even in DeFi, trust still matters. Volume numbers can look massive, but without verifiable data, they’re just numbers on a screen. Transparency isn’t optional — it’s the backbone of credibility in this space.
If Aster really wants to compete with Hyperliquid and Lighter, it’ll need to open up its books and prove those trades are real. Sinon, the market won’t forgive twice.
