As Binance Plans To Drop Fees Lower

• Aster price surges 33% in 24 hours to $2.22, boosted by Binance’s move to slash BNB Chain fees by 50%.
• BNB Chain fees drop to 0.05 Gwei, making transactions nearly free at $0.0005 and driving network activity higher.
• ASTER charts show bullish momentum, with key resistance at $2.39 and potential upside to $2.89 if bulls prevail.

Aster price has risen 33% in the last 24 hours to trade at $2.22 as of 3:25 a.m. EST on a 36% surge in trading volume to $2.6 billion. This price surge happens as Binance announces it is going to slash the BNB network fees, making it even cheaper as altseason approaches.

Binance to Slash Chain Fees from 0.1 to 0.05 Gwei

Binance has announced it is going to slash its network fees further from 0.1 to 0.05 Gwei, effectively making it cheaper than it already is. BNB chain, introduced in 2020 by Binance, afforded users speed and affordability, contrary to what Ethereum was offering.

In April 2024, BNB Chain validators approved a 67% price cut from 3 Gwei to 1 Gwei, bringing a wave of DeFi migrations to the network.

May 2025 brought an even steeper cut in price of 90%, taking gas fees down to 0.1 Gwei after Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao publicly called for lower costs. These adjustments dropped the median fees by 75% to $0.01, causing daily transactions on the chain to jump 140% to over 12 million.

Now, in October 2025, validators are proposing to cut the fees once more by 50% to bring them down from 0.1 Gwei to 0.05 Gwei. According to the official post by BNB Chain, at 0.05 Gwei, fees would drop to a measly $0.0005 per transaction, making BSC compete with giants like Base and Solana.

ASTER Price Skyrockets to $2.26 ATH In A Week — What’s Next?

The Aster price has been on a bullish rally the past week, surging 2,347% in the last 7 days. Aster trading volume exceeded $13 billion in the run-up, surpassing Hyperliquid, as most of Crypto X featured KOLs mentioning the coin.

Aster is a perpetual DEX on the BNB Chain, featuring hidden orders, yield-bearing margin, Perpetuals stocks, and spot trading. The DEX is backed by YZi Labs and Changpeng Zhao.

What’s more, Aster has also announced that it plans to launch its own chain down the road.

The 2-hour ASTER/USDT price chart shows the asset is headed upwards after taking a dip to the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level. This is typically a normal retracement as tokens exchange hands through distribution and accumulation.

Price is trending above the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), which is a bullish indicator. Up ahead, the price of ASTER must contend with the 0.272 Fib extension level, which poses a resistance around $2.392.

If the bulls manage to break past that level, then ASTER can rise higher to test $2.897 around the 0.618 Fib extension level.

On the flip side, if bears gain power and $2.39 fails to break, the Aster price may drop to $1.99 support. If bearish sentiment is overwhelming, then the 50-day SMA at $1.63 may offer a cushion to the falling price, before a bounce back. This level also aligns with the 0.236 Fib retracement level around $1.65, which makes it a strong support level.

With BNB Chain slashing fees by 50%, more volume is likely to flow into the network, as observed in June when daily transactions surged by 140% following a fee price reduction to 0.1 Gwei.

Final Thoughts

With Aster positioning itself as the main Perp DEX player in the BNB Chain ecosystem, much of this volume may flow through it, which may translate to ASTER price soaring to new all-time highs (ATH). For now, however, all eyes are on $2.39 and $2.89.
