> **Video Content:** The video is a static image displaying a side-by-side comparison of two crypto logos—Hyperliquid (tan/beige star-like emblem) on the left and Aster DEX (teal bowtie/dumbbell shape) on the right—against dark backgrounds, with no visual action or scene progression occurring across the frames. The only movement is a scrolling text ticker at the bottom that reads "PERPS: Hyperliquid is now the undisputed king of the perps trading sector," reinforcing the post's claim that Hyperliquid's 30-day perps volume has surpassed $198 billion, making it over four times larger than competitor Aster DEX.

ASTER is part of the

 ecosystem & it's unwise to fade them on any product launches

I'm expecting to see an influx of capital flow into ASTER & a revival of the ASTER community

Actually, no.  

After a series of events last year,  
my content collaborations plummeted off a cliff.  

Take this month as an example:  
Many KOLs in the same tier  
are currently booking 3–5 monthly"

> **Visual Note:** The image is a tracker titled "CZ-MENTIONED COINS" listing 10 cryptocurrencies tied to CZ/Binance—$ASTER, $BNB, $ST, $BROCCOLI, $MUBARAK, $PALU, $GIGGLE, $4, BinanceLife, and $TUT—with categories like "Explicit Buy," "Core Holding," "Disclaimer," and "Indirect" shown alongside their all-time highs, current prices, and steep declines of -19% to -99%. It illustrates the post's claim that only $ASTER (explicit buy) and $BNB (core holding) are CZ's recognized holdings, while the rest are either disclaimed, soft shilled, or indirectly linked and have since collapsed dramatically from their peaks.  

> 
> "these 10 coins were related with cz binance directly or indirectly 

Cz main bag he is holding consists of $aster and 
$bnb
He specifically acknowledged only these two.

> **Video Content:** The video begins with a dark-themed "ASTER - COMMAND CENTER" dashboard showing 24H protocol fees of $192,661 and only 30.10M users loaded. The rest of the metric tiles then populate, revealing holders (245.71K), staked (455.05M), open interest ($1.95B), TVL ($1.46B), and volume ($4.76T), followed by a "THE READ" commentary noting that fees and activity are catching up to signups. The final frames remain static, displaying the fully populated dashboard with a 16.6% supply staked indicator, while the @imshinwari5 handle and disclaimer stay fixed throughout.
