Onchain Lens monitored a giant crypto whale who deposited 5.34 million ASTER tokens to Binance worth approximately 5.64 million dollars. The whale made a profit of 5.32 million out of the move. All the ASTers were priced in the range of 1.056, as per the market. The data was verified by analysts by scanning blockchains and transaction timestamps.

The whale had sold 4.63 million APX tokens on MEXC six months ago, at the time of value of $283,200. They also spent 50,212 USDT to purchase 704,900 ASTER on the Aster platform. The total price amounted to $333, 412. Since turning APX into ASTER and moving all the assets to Binance, the tokens currently have a value of $5.64 million, which proves a 1,494% profit.

ASTER

Onchain Lens indicated that at the peak value of the price of ASTER, approximately 1.96, the whale had a total tokens worth a paper value of 10.47 million. At such level, it would have earned more than $10.13 million in profits. This has since corrected the price of the token, although, the profits are still huge, even at present levels.

Aster can be described as a decentralized perpetual exchange, which bridges TradFi and DeFi. It enables users to trade crypto and stock based perpetuals like Tesla and Apple. ASTER is its native currency, which drives governance rights and yield rewards. With investments provided by YZi Labs (previously Binance Labs), Aster was supported by early investment of Binance co-founders Changpeng Zhao and Yi He at the end of 2024.

APX-ASTER (Data on Token Swaps)

APX was changed to ASTER by the structured plan of a swap by Aster to the whale. Better conversion rates were experienced by early entrants, but the rates decreased with time. This premature conversion provided the whale with high multiplier effect as the price of the ASTER shot up.

The trade occurred during April to October of 2025 where there were colossal rallies in the crypto markets. Bitcoin spurred above $120,000 and Ethereum increased 70 percent in the third quarter of 2025. Such general bullish tendencies were probably the ones that boosted the gains of ASTER and the whale in his amazing profit.

Whale Deposits

Megatons of whales sales tend to increase selling pressure. According to analysts, the 5.34M ASTER deposit can cause volatility in the short term on Binance. Nonetheless, the long-term investors view the action as profit-taking and not exit as Aster continues to grow and show strong liquidity figures.

Onchain Lens has a good history of tracking valuable transactions. In August of 2025, its report confirmed UNI withdrawal of 315,529 worth of $3.55 million. The identical approach substantiates the ASTER movement, which is putting the correct data concerning profits and timing.

It emphasizes the lucrative nature of DeFi and its volatility. Retail traders believe that ASTER will be closely monitored by analysts. Regulators can also examine TradFi integrations made by Aster and Binance-related sources of funding as the tightening of oversight takes place in 2025.
