Aster Executes Full S4 And S5 Token Burn As Crypto Buybacks Surge Across The Market

Aster has completed a major milestone in its tokenomics strategy, executing a 100% burn of all tokens repurchased during its Stage 4 and Stage 5 buyback programs.

The move permanently removes more than 98.4 million $ASTER tokens from circulation, reinforcing Aster’s commitment to long-term value creation and disciplined supply management.

The burn was carried out on February 5, 2026, at 13:00 UTC, following the conclusion of both buyback stages. By fully destroying every token acquired through the programs, Aster joins a growing wave of crypto projects adopting buyback-and-burn mechanisms as a core approach to returning value to token holders.

The protocol confirmed the execution publicly, sharing transparent onchain details of the burn process:
