The announcement pushed the token close to $0.80 before some profit-taking emerged, with ASTER later changing hands near $0.74, up roughly 13% over the past day.<\/p>\n<p>The update introduces a second layer of supply reduction alongside the buybacks. Aster said it will remove an equal amount of ASTER from reserve holdings each day, creating what the protocol described as a 198% combined buyback-and-burn effect.<\/p>\n<p>Reserve reductions will begin with the team allocation and continue until the total token supply falls from 8 billion ASTER to 3 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Additional demand could also come from Aster Spot. According to the protocol, every permissionless token listing on the platform will require a 50,000 USDT fee, with all proceeds earmarked for further ASTER buybacks that will be distributed to stakers through the rewards program.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Platform fees now drive ASTER rewards<\/h2>\n<p>Rather than destroying purchased tokens, Aster said the acquired ASTER will be distributed to participants in its Loyalty Rewards program.<\/p>\n<p>Under the revised model, each reward epoch will include a fixed allocation of 300,000 ASTER plus all tokens accumulated through daily buybacks.<\/p>\n<p>Distribution will be directed to veASTER holders according to lock-weighted participation. Aster added that all buybacks will be executed through an automated daily time-weighted average price process and settled on-chain. To increase transparency, the project has also published the wallet address used for the purchases, allowing users to verify transactions independently.<\/p>\n<p>By linking fee generation directly to token purchases, staking rewards and reserve reductions, the protocol has created a mechanism where higher trading activity results in larger buybacks and larger reward distributions.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical breakout places $0.81 resistance in focus<\/h2>\n<p>Market participants responded quickly to the announcement, driving ASTER above a trading range that had largely contained price action since April. On the daily chart, the token broke through support-turned-resistance near $0.65 and climbed toward the next major barrier around $0.81.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Aster daily price chart \u2014 June 18 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The daily chart also showed strengthening momentum indicators following the move. ASTER\u2019s Relative Strength Index rose above 65, while the MACD produced a bullish crossover accompanied by expanding positive histogram bars, signaling stronger buying pressure.<\/p>\n<p>The $0.81 region remains an important level because it coincides with several prior rejection points visible on the daily chart. A successful break above that zone could expose the token to areas not tested since late 2025, while traders may look for the former resistance near $0.65 to act as support if the rally pauses.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
