BlackRock ETF Filing Turns Out to Be a Hoax, ASTER's Price Remains Unchanged

A fabricated regulatory filing claiming BlackRock planned a 'Staked ASTER ETF' circulated widely on Tuesday, briefly pulling ASTER into the market spotlight.

The token has been hovering in a price corridor of $0.90 to $0.95 for nearly three weeks, and this area halted declines twice in October and again in early November.

The rumor added to trader confusion as ASTER has been sliding since its mid-November bounce near $1.40.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao intervened, calling the filing 'Fake' and noting that ASTER doesn't need 'edited images' to grow.
