CZ clarifies: no aster team member, only consultant! Aster token is booming!
Changpeng Zhao, better known as CZ, made it clear on October 3, 2025 that his role in the decentralized Aster Stock Exchange is not that of a team member. According to [crypto.news] (https://crypto.news/binance-cz-aster-bin-binvolved- Onvolved-on-Advisor/), ZHAO denies all participation in the Aster team and explains that he only acts as a consultant and is involved in the platform with a small share. This information came up after a user claimed on platform X that CZ said in an X Space that he was "part of the Aster team". Zhao corrected this with the words: "Not in a team, just one consultant".
Zhaos's statements are made at a time when Aster, despite the competition for Binance, grew. The Aster token has increased by remarkable 7,000% since its introduction. This development has rejected existing speculations about Zhao's role in the project, even if it makes it clear that the token growth figures are influenced by the commitment of its venture capital company YZI Labs and former employees of Binance.
Competition relationship and growth
The Aster token reached an all-time high of $ 2.41 on September 24, 2025, which moved both individual and institutional investors to the area of decentralized perpetuals. Zhao confirmed that Aster is in direct competition with Binance, but he added that "BNB helps", which indicates a complex dynamic in the competitive environment.
The public support of ZHAO has significantly increased the visibility of Aster. His first congratulatory post after the token-Launch has generated great interest in the market. The clarification of his role is also due to the fact that there were always allegations to Zhao's address that he prefers Aster to competitors such as hyperliquid. Zhao has repeatedly rejected such allegations of market manipulation in order to reaffirm the integrity of his and other projects.
Outlook on the Dex market
The clarification of Zhao's participation comes in a rapidly growing and competitive area of decentralized stock exchanges (Dex). Aster's success and the associated volatility of the Aster token could have a significant impact on the future development of the market. ZHAO and his statements are therefore still closely observed to understand which strategies come into play in the Dex segment.
