defillama Relists Aster Volume Data Weeks After Delisting Due to Fraud Suspicions
The popular DeFi data aggregator defillama officially resumed operations yesterday and relisted Aster data, according to an update on its homepage. The latest data shows that Aster's 24-hour contract volume reached $16.18 billion, and its 7-day volume reached $76.65 billion — an impressive figure, reflecting the heat of the decentralized finance market after a sharp correction earlier this year.
Previously, on the evening of October 5, 2025, the cryptocurrency community was suddenly stirred up when 0xngmi, founder of the famous blockchain statistics platform defillama , posted an official announcement stating that the website would stop providing Derivative volume data of the decentralized exchange (DEX) Aster. The reason is said to be that defillama suspected that Aster's huge Volume showed signs of "wash trading", which is the act of self-buying and self-selling to create fake liquidation , inflating data to attract new users.
After completing the audit, the platform decided to restore Aster's data. 0xngmi also Chia that defillama had made a similar move with several other perpetual contract DEXs, demonstrating its commitment to protecting the integrity of the data that users trust.
Some industry sources also said that after defillama relisted Aster, the platform's traffic increased by more than 25% in just 12 hours, showing that the demand for tracking DeFi data is exploding again. Meanwhile, the Aster community happily Chia on social network X (formerly Twitter), calling it "a major milestone in the journey of DeFi data transparency".
