Aster to Direct Up to 80% of Daily Trading Fees to ASTER Buybacks From December 23, 2025

On December 23, 2025, decentralized exchange Aster will begin Stage 5 of its ASTER buyback program, channeling up to 80% of daily platform fees into token repurchases. The plan combines an automatic on-chain daily buyback with a flexible strategic reserve, and follows recent price volatility that has left ASTER under pressure despite a brief rebound around $0.725.
