Is ASTER Set to Leap 320%? Analysts See Huge Upside

The crypto market has a new phenomenon. Since its launch on September 17, the price of ASTER has exploded by more than 7,950 percent. While peer Hyperliquid (HYPE) lost more than 21 percent in the same period, ASTER is rapidly moving up the rankings with a current market cap of $3.43 billion. That puts the coin at 36nd among the largest cryptos.

According to calculations, ASTER would need to rise to about $8.73 per token to match HYPE's current valuation of $14.4 billion. That would be a roughly 320% price jump from the current level around $2. View post on X even expects ASTER to reach that valuation before next week, talking about a potential market cap between $8 and $10 billion. His optimism is based on an ongoing airdrop campaign (through October 5) and a 4 percent token unlock on October 17 that could spur extra trading activity.

Notably, big players are also weighing in. View post on X worth $9 million has fully moved over to ASTER. Lookonchain-data also shows that another whale has bought over $75 million worth of ASTER in recent days. ASTER's daily trading volume has even surpassed that of HYPE.

But as with all crypto, where there’s hype, there’s risk. New tokens can quickly trigger FOMO, and late entrants can suffer sizable losses just as fast. Pi Network is a well-known example of how inflated expectations can crash.
