The wallets of the big players don't lie. The founder of a leading exchange, CZ, has been recorded on-chain for every move he makes—he has already invested over $2 million into the Aster DEX project and continues to increase his position. This isn't just talk; it's a real financial bet.
What's even more interesting is the cooperation with Aster DEX. Starting from December 23, 80% of the platform's daily earnings are used to buy back and burn ASTER tokens. Sounds a bit aggressive? Think about it carefully—it's actually designing a self-sustaining growth flywheel: trading volume increases, revenue grows, buybacks become more vigorous, token circulation decreases, scarcity rises, and this, in turn, attracts more traders.
In the crypto world, when founders personally invest their money into a project, what does that signal? It’s the highest level of endorsement. Not for PR, not for hype, but because they believe in it, hence pouring real money into it. CZ’s continuous purchase of over $2 million is essentially telling the market: "I believe this project can go far."
On the other hand, Aster is not sitting idle. The mechanism of destroying 80% of revenue may seem aggressive, but the logic is clear—supporting value through token scarcity. There are internal mechanisms driving it, and external backing from top industry leaders. Such a combination is rare in the market.

According to the project plan:
*100% revenue: 80% planned for buyback, 20% withheld
*Let's say 80% for buyback: actually 40% used for automatic buyback, another 40% withheld, claiming it is reserved and no buyback has been executed
*Let's say 40% automatic buyback: actually 20% used for destruction, another 20% withheld, claiming it is for airdrops
*Therefore, the actual destruction is only 20% of the revenue🤣🤣
*Finally, 20% destruction, how much is the actual daily income?
Note ⚠️⚠️
On 12.23, buyback amount is 400,000 USDT, corresponding destruction amount is 200,000 USDT
On 12.24, buyback amount is 320,000 USDT, corresponding destruction amount is 160,000 USDT
On 12.25, buyback amount is 240,000 USDT, corresponding destruction amount is 120,000 USDT
On 12.26, buyback amount is 200,000 USDT, corresponding destruction amount is 100,000 USDT
*Please note: Currently, 78.4 million tokens need to be unlocked every month!!
*Conclusion: The monthly unlocking pressure is 10 times or even more than the destruction support!! And this process will continue until mid-2027
*In addition, there are 3.5 billion tokens in a massive bomb waiting to be unlocked!!

CZ spends money just to spend money, but why does there still need to be on-chain data as proof, haha.
80% buyback and burn, this flywheel is really spinning fast, just worried that it might become self-satisfied after spinning for a while.
Head endorsements are just endorsements; how long Aster's token scarcity can last still depends on whether trading volume is strong enough.
Another round of buyback and burn, feels like the套路 is becoming more and more similar.
But to be fair, CZ is really willing to gamble, so maybe we can follow the trend and try to dip our toes in?

CZ never cheats with money, the true test will be on the chain.

CZ investing money shows confidence, and this logic makes sense. The 80% burn move is indeed aggressive, but it depends on whether it can sustain trading volume.

ngl, the 80% burn mechanism is giving me flashbacks to every "deflationary" token that went to zero... seen this movie before. sure, CZ's wallet moves don't lie, but neither does liquidity fragmentation when things go sideways. hope they've stress-tested their routing during volatile periods, because optimal execution routes break fast when counter-party risk hits different.

CZ投入2 million, what does that mean? It just shows he's really optimistic, unlike those who keep hyping every day. This guy's wallet never deceives.

CZ is really buying, so I might as well copy the homework and follow along.
