#数字货币市场洞察 Aster's project roadmap for 2026 is quite clear. In the first half of the year, the main focus will be on Layer 1 performance scaling, with the staking mechanism and on-chain governance system being launched one after another. At the same time, the token buyback and burn mechanism will continue to operate. The technical upgrades paired with the deflationary model should indeed provide fundamental support for the token price.

As for airdrops, Stage 4 (codename Harvest) will release 1.5% of the total ASTER supply as a reward pool.

A recent noteworthy partnership: Aster has teamed up with World Liberty Financial to promote the adoption of the USD1 stablecoin. After the news was announced, ASTER surged 6% in two hours, with a cumulative 24-hour increase of 15%. This market response shows that capital still recognizes these real-world application scenarios.

Looking ahead, in Q1 2026, there are plans to introduce an RWA (Real World Asset) solution—bringing traditional assets like gold and stocks on-chain. On the technical side, privacy-protecting blockchain features and dark pool trading functionality (hidden order mechanism) will be implemented. According to the roadmap, we should see internal testing and testnet demos before the end of the year.

From a capital perspective, the current support price range is roughly between 0.58 and 0.66 USDT per token. If you believe in the project's long-term logic, you could consider building a position in batches to prepare for next year’s market window.
