A dramatic scene is unfolding!
The Aster team is in a hurry, spending 32 million USD in 8 days to buy back, but the price of the coin doesn’t respond, plunging from 1 USD all the way down to 0.73 USD, a monthly drop of 37%!
The comments section is exploding, holders are shouting: 'Did you secretly sell after the buyback?' 'Is the team offloading?!' Even though the officials are desperately clarifying, the market votes with its feet—buybacks cannot save the collapse of confidence.
This exposes a cruel truth: in the world of cryptocurrency, having money is not enough; you need to have 'trust.'
When a project falls into 'volume manipulation doubts', is rumored to have 'big players selling off', and buybacks seem futile... you will find that prices can plummet, consensus can collapse, and the so-called 'stabilizing' actions are powerless in the face of transparency loss and trust crisis.
So, what we should be questioning is not 'Can Aster turn the tide?', but rather: in a chaotic environment, what can truly support value?
This reminds me of the recent discussions about @usddio.
Many people ask, what is the difference with USDD?
The answer may lie in its genes: it does not seek to create illusions through short-term buybacks but writes 'stability' into its mechanism.
—— Over-collateralization, multi-chain reserves, real-time verifiability.
This is not a verbal commitment; it is publicly backed on-chain. While Asters struggle to stop the bleeding with 'buybacks', USDD has already built a moat: transparency is the best way to stabilize the market.
Only during a crash can you see who is swimming naked.
When buybacks fail, you will understand: what can withstand cycles is not who has the stronger buying power, but who is worthy of long-term trust.
#USDD sees trust through stability; it has never been a light-hearted label — it is a sense of security designed, a 'stabilizing needle' you can hold onto in a wild market.
