Coinbase has officially added the Aster token, Monad, and QCAD to its asset listing roadmap, a move that often precedes a market rally for the mentioned tokens, despite the exchange’s caveat that inclusion does not guarantee a future listing.
Aster is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that supports perpetual and spot trading across several major blockchain networks, including the BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum. It has processed a cumulative trading volume exceeding $12.9 billion since its launch.
The token recently received a major boost from Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), who publicly disclosed purchasing $2 million worth of Aster with his personal funds, stating he is a “long-term holder.” This endorsement, along with CZ’s previous promotion of the project, caused Aster’s price to surge by nearly 35%, briefly raising its market capitalization from about $1.8 billion to over $2.5 billion.
Following the “CZ-rally,” the token’s price retraced significantly, though it was recovering slightly at the time of reporting. The inclusion on the Coinbase roadmap now places Aster into an extensive evaluation phase that includes legal reviews and technical audits. Historically, tokens added to the roadmap, such as Celo and FLOKI, have seen notable price and volume spikes due to market speculation regarding an eventual listing.
