A trader sold 25.7 million ASTER tokens at $0.72 within 4 hours, totaling $1.85 million. However, since their average purchase price two months ago was $1.03, they incurred a loss of nearly $800,000. This large-scale sell-off may stem from market information judgment, highlighting the importance of monitoring ASTER's future trend and fundamentals.

【Blockchain Rhythm】Interesting on-chain movements. Yesterday, a trader cleared out 2.57 million ASTER tokens within 4 hours, selling at $0.72 each, cashing out $1.85 million in one go.

But this trade actually resulted in a big loss—he bought the tokens two months ago at an average price of $1.03, and now the price has dropped by 30%, with a loss approaching $800,000. This could be because he was too deeply trapped and finally decided to cut losses; or perhaps he had some informational advantage and knew something ahead of time.

In any case, such large-scale sell-offs do put pressure on the market. The future of ASTER’s price still depends on whether the upcoming fundamentals can turn the situation around.
