The post DefiLlama delisted Aster’s perpetual futures volume data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Analytics hub DefiLlama has removed Aster’s perpetual futures volume data following concerns about accuracy, which had led to uncertainty among traders.  According to 0xngmi, a pseudonymous co-founder of DeFiLlama, their review revealed that Aster’s trading numbers were almost identical to Binance’s, suggesting that something may have been amiss. The matching patterns observed across pairs, including XRPUSDT and ETHUSDT, suggested that volumes were being manipulated – possibly even by the exchange itself to attract higher trading volume. The dashboard builder noted, “Aster doesn’t make it possible to get lower-level data such as who is making and filling orders, so until we can get that data to verify if there’s washtrading, Aster perp volumes will be delisted.” DefiLlama’s decision has divided community members, with some claiming innovation The DefiLlama team emphasized its policy of zero tolerance for suspicious data and indicated that Aster perps won’t be coming back until the situation becomes clearer. Some users have opposed the decision by the DefiLlama and instead suggested that Aster’s volumes be kept listed under a flagged notice, but 0xngmi said that decision would bias overall perp figures. However, TechLead, an X tech influencer, thinks this could eventually work out in Aster’s favor. He commented, “This is super bullish ASTER… If they’ve actually onramped Binance liquidity into DeFi, it’s a done deal. Worth reconsidering what ‘metrics’ even means in the new world. DEX & CEX are just frontends.” So far, the community remains divided, with some accusing Aster of foul play, while others praise it for taking a creative approach. Since launching in September, Aster has been turning heads as a potential rival to Hyperliquid, fueled by chatter around CZ and the DEX’s increasing attention. During the week of Sept. 24, Aster’s open interest expanded by over 33,500% and was right up there with Hyperliquid.…
