Between July 27th and August 10th, Aster allocated 99% of daily platform fees to ASTER buybacks. At the same time, estimates placed 5.30% to 8.10% of ASTER’s supply in staking. However, scarcity alone may not drive price higher. Buyers must still absorb available supply near resistance. This kept $0.620 to $0.622 as ASTER’s near-term upside battleground.
