That’s a funnel no competitor currently owns. 2. Yield-Bearing Margin $USDF, Aster’s native stable, acts like USDe but with yield on ￰19￱ earn while they trade, a unique hook. 3. CZ’s Ruthlessness CZ has a track record. FTX, LUNA, countless other rivals, all ￰20￱ doesn’t act unless he’s already sure of ￰21￱ Alignment CZ controls YZi ￰22￱ ￰23￱ ￰24￱ legal and structural setup is designed for ￰25￱ Funnel 90% of retail traffic touches ￰26￱ plugs directly into that funnel.

Hyperliquid, meanwhile, is invisible to most new ￰27￱ Reach While Hyperliquid whales spin narratives in a CT echo chamber, Aster has 100x more social ￰28￱ ownership ensures ￰29￱ & Strategy Jeff (Hyperliquid’s founder) is ￰30￱ CZ has more capital, more political leverage, and more ruthlessness.

Now, he’s here to reclaim it. Asparagoid’s thread… 10 reasons $ASTER will flip Hyperliquid: 1) The only DEX with 24/7 US stock perps 2) Yield Bearing margin: $USDF is native and functions similar to USDe, with additional yield based on activity 3) CZ doesn't tolerate competitors and historically has neutralized all competition… — ￰39￱ Geon-yeong (神建永), Ph. D. (@asparagoid) September 18, 2025 breaks down exactly why Aster could ￰40￱ didn’t ￰41￱ CZ tweeted, wallets flooded in. 330K new addresses in 24h isn’t organic, it’s coordinated ￰42￱ buzz confirmed ￰43￱ trended across X within ￰44￱ with millions of followers carried the same line: this isn’t just another coin, this is CZ’s ￰45￱ went from niche merger product to global spotlight in a single day.

Hyperliquid’s Challenge Hyperliquid has the tech edge, for ￰46￱ execution is clean, their perps engine is ￰47￱ distribution is ￰48￱ live in the CT ￰49￱ problem is simple: funnel ￰50￱ must win on merit ￰51￱ doesn’t. With Binance’s funnel, Aster decides what retail sees, then wins with deeper liquidity and ￰52￱ is brilliant, but he can’t match CZ’s warchest or his willingness to play dirty. Regulation, politics, BD, CZ has the upper hand in every angle outside of pure ￰53￱ in crypto, funnels and incentives matter more than ￰54￱ isn’t just a pump. It’s a turning ￰55￱ the first time, CZ publicly picked a project outside ￰56￱ not just any project, one designed to dismantle a rising ￰57￱ is a multichain DEX with a war general at the ￰58￱ is a tech-first upstart with no retail ￰59￱ clash isn’t fair.

Today’s 377% move is likely just the ￰60￱ has proven across a decade that when he picks a fight, he fights to ￰61￱ market just witnessed something historic.
