Today's Top Headlines
Aster release a 2025 recap and their early 2026 Roadmap.
“2025 was about proving Aster can ship: we merged Astherus & ApolloX, launched multi-asset margin, released our mobile app, completed TGE, listed on major CEXs, and introduced features like Hedge Mode, Trade & Earn, and our buyback program, and more.
Now we're doubling down on three foundational engines—Infrastructure, Token Utility, and Ecosystem & Community—each reinforcing the others in continuous cycle:
🔹 Early Dec 2025: Shield Mode for private high-leverage trading + TWAP strategy orders
🔹 Mid Dec 2025: RWA upgrade with deeper, broader stock perpetual markets
🔹 End Dec 2025: Aster Chain testnet opens for community testing
🔸 Q1 2026: Aster Chain L1 launch, Aster Code for builders, fiat on/off-ramp
🔸 Q2 2026: $ASTER staking, on-chain governance, smart-money tools to follow top traders
We're not building another trading venue. We're building a network that grows with its users. Thank you for being part of this journey.”

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, has said the latest upgrade, Fusaka, is basically ‘sharding’ and that's been a ‘dream for Ethereum’.
“PeerDAS in Fusaka is significant because it literally is sharding. Ethereum is coming to consensus on blocks without requiring any single node to see more than a tiny fraction of the data. And this is robust to 51% attacks - it’s client-side probabilistic verification, not validator voting. Sharding has been a dream for Ethereum since 2015 , and data availability sampling since 2017, and now we have it.”

Strategy (MSTR) set up a ~$1.44B USD reserve this week to cover preferred dividends and debt interest—signaling bear-market preparation.
The firm’s research pegs the bear phase as starting in early November and, if it persists, expects BTC to trade in the $70k–$55k range next year. CFO Andrew Kang said the USD reserve is a liquidity risk-management tool that will be built up when mNAV>1; at ~$92.7k BTC the company can sustain operations and dividends for 3+ years, with BTC sales only as a last resort.
