$ASTER just executed a major deflationary move. Following the completion of Stage 4 and Stage 5 buybacks, the team has burned 100% of all repurchased tokens — permanently removing them from circulation.
Key numbers that matter:
98.4M $ASTER burned in a single execution
53.9M from Stage 4
44.48M from Stage 5
177M+ $ASTER burned across Stages 2–5
Roughly 9% of post-burn circulating supply eliminated
This aggressive burn reduces circulating supply, tightens sell-side pressure, and strengthens long-term scarcity. And it’s not over yet — Stage 6 buybacks are already in progress, signaling continued deflation ahead.
Is this the supply squeeze moment holders have been waiting for?
