$ASTER DEX Launches Fifth Buyback Phase to Bolster Token Value

Aster DEX says it will begin a new repurchase initiative on December 23, framing a fifth buyback phase funded by platform fees as a way to tighten ASTER’s circulating supply. Funding comes from daily fee revenue. Under the plan, 80% of daily fees are earmarked for token purchases, with the stated objective of mitigating volatility and stabilizing market value. The program combines automatic buybacks with a strategic purchase component, setting clear execution lanes for treasury activity. The announcement lands as stakeholders assess whether systematic repurchases can translate into durable support for token holders and traders.
