In the fast-paced world of crypto, where trends shift faster than a meme coin pump, a recent thread from @OnchainLens has everyone talking. The post pits Hyperliquid against Aster, a rising star in the decentralized exchange (DEX) space, with none other than CZ Binance—the founder of the world's largest centralized exchange—seemingly giving Aster the nod. Let's break it down, explain the jargon, and see why this could be big for meme token enthusiasts and blockchain traders alike.

The conversation kicked off with this X thread from @OnchainLens, a handle dedicated to simplifying on-chain data. In a cheeky tone, they call out "Hyperliquid maxis" (that's hardcore fans of Hyperliquid, a popular perpetual futures DEX) for still grinding away at points farming—basically, earning rewards through platform activity in hopes of a future airdrop. Cute, but outdated, according to the poster.
Meanwhile, CZ Binance, often hailed as the richest person in crypto, is "side-eyeing Aster like 'Yeah… that’s the one.'" For context, CZ built Binance into a behemoth before stepping down in 2023 amid legal issues. His influence still moves markets, and his advisory role with Aster has fueled massive speculation. The thread argues Aster is dominating with superior tech, deep liquidity, an insane volume-to-open-interest (OI) ratio—meaning trades are happening without massive unresolved positions—and overall hype. Hyperliquid? Still hung up on that airdrop dream, per the post.
A follow-up reply from @OnchainLens drops a link (which points to additional media in the thread) and another gif, seemingly baiting critics.
Not everyone was impressed. Replies accused @OnchainLens of copying content from @mlmabc, another crypto analyst, and lacking proof for Aster's tech claims. One user even suggested unfollowing for the alleged plagiarism. @OnchainLens fired back with yet another gif, keeping the vibe light but defensive.
Asterって何?
If you're new to this, Aster is a perpetual futures DEX built on the BNB Chain (Binance's blockchain ecosystem). Perpetual futures, or "perps," are contracts that let you bet on asset prices without expiration dates—think leveraged trading on crypto without owning the coins. Aster stands out with wild features like up to 1,001x leverage, which is basically gambling on steroids (use responsibly, folks). Its native token, $ASTER, has skyrocketed over 2,000% recently, drawing comparisons to meme coin pumps despite being tied to a functional platform.
CZ's involvement? He clarified in an X Space that he's just an advisor, and Binance has no official role. Still, his endorsement led to whale deposits into Binance wallets, sparking listing rumors. As reported by CoinGape, this could mean $ASTER hitting the big leagues soon.
盛り上がりと現実:ミームトークンの視点
At Meme Insider, we love spotting where meme culture intersects with real tech. $ASTER's rally feels meme-ish—driven by FOMO (fear of missing out), celebrity nods, and community buzz rather than just fundamentals. It's mentioned alongside CZ-linked meme coins like GIGGLE and FOUR on BNB Chain, which helped push BNB to new all-time highs, per BeInCrypto.
But not all is rosy. DefiLlama, a top analytics site, recently delisted Aster's perp data over wash trading concerns—fake volume to inflate numbers. The token dropped 10% on the news, as noted by The Block. And Cointelegraph points out how Aster's volumes mirror Binance's almost exactly, raising eyebrows.
ブロックチェーン実務者にとっての意味
If you're trading memes or building on-chain, Aster's story highlights the blend of tech innovation and hype. Hyperliquid, on its own layer-1 chain, focuses on decentralized points farming, but Aster's BNB integration offers cheaper fees and ties to Binance's ecosystem. The volume-to-OI ratio mentioned in the thread suggests efficient markets—less manipulation risk, in theory.
For meme token hunters, watch $ASTER for potential listings or airdrops. CZ's "side-eye" could be a signal, but always DYOR (do your own research). As the thread quips, pretending it's 2023 might help you sleep, but the crypto playground is evolving fast.
