AST token unlock schedule significantly shifted, causing ripples in the market

The Aster derivatives exchange has made significant changes to its tokenomics model, prompting a shift in planned token unlocks. The team announced a complete cancellation of many ASTER token releases slated for 2025, with most being postponed until the summer of 2026. Some unlocks have even been pushed back to 2035. This postponement was revealed in response to recent controversies regarding calendar shifts observed on Binance related to ASTER data. The team explained that initial plans included monthly ecosystem unlocks, but these were halted because there is currently no substantial need for these tokens.
