The fully diluted valuation soared to $5.6 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aster price jumps after airdrop and as its key metrics soar<\/h2>\n<p>The main reason Aster\u2019s price soared is that it launched its airdrop, which will run until October 17. This airdrop will distribute approximately 704 million tokens, or 8.8% of the total allocation, to eligible participants.<\/p>\n<p>Eligible participants are those who earned Rh or Au points from the Aster Spectra Stage 0 and 1 points program, users who received Aster Gems allocations, and those who traded on Aster Pro during the trading window. Binance\u2019s founder was among the first to congratulate the developers.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Well done! \ud83d\udc4f Good start.

This rally could continue as new cryptocurrency exchanges start to list it, as it is currently only available on Aster. It is common for newly minted coins to rise after being listed by major exchanges.<\/p>\n<p>However, the coin will likely take a breather as airdrop recipients start to sell to preserve profits. Many newly listed tokens that jump initially often decline when this happens.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Donald Trump\u2019s World Liberty Finance (WLFI) and Official Trump (TRUMP) tokens soared initially and then plunged. The same happened with other recently launched tokens like Spark and Avantis.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aster price jumped by more than 360% on Sept. 18 after its airdrop and a mention by Binance\u2019s Changpeng Zhao.
