A wallet reportedly linked to the world’s largest YouTuber, MRBeast, has collected more than $ 1 million in BNB-chain-based decentralized exchange-tinkering Aster in recent days.
Summary
- According to Lookonchain, a wallet reportedly tied more than $ 1 million to Aster.
- Aster has risen more than 1,800% since the launch.
According to the On-Chain Analysis Platform Lookonchain, the newest transaction is one of the many that the YouTuber reportedly performed through portfolios attributed to him.
A few hours before the September 29 update, this wallet has transferred 320,587 USDT to buy 167,436 Astel signs, which pushed the cumulative total to 705,821 Aster, about $ 1.28 million at acquisition.
These purchases come on the heels of previous Lookonchain reports of 26 September, where it was noted that the same wallet had collected 538,384 Aster -Tokens (at that time of around $ 990,000)) for three days, with an average entrance fee estimated at $ 1.87 per token.
At the time, 1 million USDT was deposited with the help of two portfolios, 0x9e67, which is publicly associated with MrBeast, and 0x0e8a, a newly created address.
The first reported transaction followed by Lookonchain took place on September 21, when the public wallet of the YouTuber 114,483 sent USDT to Aster, which marked what the beginning of this accumulation seems to be. (See below.)
Although blockchain data clearly link the transactions to portfolios that have previously been associated with MRBeast, the YouTuber itself has publicly denied any involvement. In response to one X user on September 22, MrBeast said that he “had never heard of that coin” and insisted that the wallet that was identified by 0x9e67 was not his and warned followers not to be misled by someone who acts as if he was acting on his behalf.
However, the speculation about the involvement of the YouTuber at Aster has not translated into a large price fluctuations, in which the token traded just over 3% on the press of the press, $ 1.92.
Since the launch on 17 September, aster token has used more than 1800% in less than two weeks to reach a record high of $ 2.41.
Much of the hype around the token stemes from support from heavyweights in the industry, such as former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, which has indicated on plans to contribute to the decentralized ecosystem and the role of Aster as a leading decentralized eternal exchange.
Aster has also succeeded in deducting its top competitors, including hyperliquid and lighter, into both income and trade volume. At the time of writing it was the number one perpetual Dex with a volume of 24 hours at $ 42.88 billion, compared to Lighter’s only $ 5.75 billion, the nearest rival.
This rapid fame has succeeded in activating noticeable whale activity around the token. Data from Nansen indicates that the total amount of aster held by whales has risen from 10.1 million to 72.76 million over the past 7 days.
