In the fast-paced world of crypto, where memes and market moves collide, a recent post from trader VeeMan (@theveeman) on X has stirred up some serious buzz. Tagging none other than CZ Binance and the official Binance account, VeeMan dropped what he calls an "ALPHA ALERT," advising followers to short $HYPE and go long on $ASTER. He predicts a 3.4x gain until $ASTER flips $HYPE in market cap, with bold claims of retiring your bloodline and ditching "useless old tech coins" like $INJ, $CAKE, $AVAX, $SOL, $S, and $ETH.
For those new to the scene, $ASTER is the native token of Aster DEX, a decentralized exchange specializing in perpetual contracts (perps) and spot trading. It's designed to blend the best of DeFi with features that rival centralized platforms, offering non-custodial trading. Recently, $ASTER has been on a tear, surging over 7,000% post-launch amid endorsements and high-leverage options—think 300x leverage on Binance, as highlighted in the meme video attached to the post. On the flip side, $HYPE belongs to Hyperliquid, another Layer-1 blockchain-focused DEX known for low fees and advanced tools. Both are heavy hitters in the perp trading space, but VeeMan sees $ASTER pulling ahead.
The post doesn't stop at advice; it's packed with hype. "Buybacks start soon. Over 7m revenue daily. This is going to $10 quick," VeeMan warns. If true, that daily revenue figure points to strong ecosystem growth, potentially fueling token buybacks that could drive the price higher. In crypto terms, a "flip" means $ASTER surpassing $HYPE's market cap—currently, $ASTER sits around $2.8 billion with a price hovering between $1.65 and $2.21, while $HYPE trades at about $44 with a larger cap. A 3.4x pump could indeed make that happen, especially if leverage plays and community momentum kick in.
Accompanying the text is a viral meme video that's pure crypto entertainment. It kicks off with an axe-throwing scene overlaid with "100x LEVERAGE," symbolizing high-stakes trading. Then it cuts to edited clips of CZ announcing massive leverage on $ASTER, complete with puns like "Aster cracked me up" (a cheeky play on words) and community requests for 300x leverage. It's all set to dramatic effects, ending with dance moves and bold text like "By community request." Classic meme style to pump the narrative—check it out directly on X.
Replies to the post echo the excitement. One user, @Moneypaiger, simply says "Send eeet🔥," crypto slang for "pump it hard." Another, @ClintEthwood, tags CZ again with "@cz_binance you seeing this ⚡️⚡️⚡️," amplifying the call for attention. With only 275 views so far but growing likes, this could be the spark for more chatter in meme coin circles.
Why the shift from $HYPE to $ASTER? VeeMan's bio hints at his BNB chain roots—he's a former Pancakeswap advisor and BNB/Aster ICO holder. Aster operates on the BNB chain, which might give it an edge in his eyes, especially with Binance's influence. Recent news backs this up: $ASTER's rally defies market crashes, and there's talk of airdrops like the HEMI one tied to farming $ASTER. If you're into perp DEXes, this rivalry is one to watch.
Of course, crypto trading involves risks—leverage can amplify losses as much as gains, and "alpha" like this is speculative. Always DYOR (do your own research). But if VeeMan's call pans out, early movers could see big rewards. Stay tuned to Meme Insider for more updates on $ASTER, $HYPE, and the wild world of meme tokens.
