Aster Launches Stage 6 Buyback Program: Could It Push the Price to $1.25?

Aster on Tuesday, February 3, announced the launch of its Stage 6 Buyback Program, committing up to 80% of daily platform fees to support the token, with execution set to begin on February 4, 2026. 

The initiative introduces a structured, on-chain mechanism aimed at reducing circulating supply while reinforcing liquidity during volatile market conditions.

According to the company, 40% of daily fees will be deployed automatically for buybacks, ensuring consistent on-chain demand, while an additional 20% to 40% will be allocated to a strategic reserve. 

This reserve will allow Aster to conduct targeted buybacks during periods of heightened volatility, depending on market conditions.

All buyback transactions will be executed through dedicated on-chain wallets, making activity publicly verifiable. The token stated that it will provide regular transparency updates to allow token holders to track buyback activity and assess its impact on supply dynamics over time.
