📰 News Highlights:

Aster Tokenomics Mix-Up [Source][Source][Source]

Aster faced community confusion after CoinMarketCap displayed incorrect unlock dates that pushed some token releases as far as 2035. The team clarified that its tokenomics have not changed, monthly ecosystem unlocks were scheduled but never executed because no usage plan existed, leaving the tokens untouched in a locked address.

The CMC update reflected a miscommunication rather than a shift in circulating supply or dilution.

To strengthen transparency, Aster will transfer all unused ecosystem tokens from the locked address to a new public wallet, giving the community full visibility.

The clarification comes during heightened attention after CZ disclosed owning over $2.5 million of ASTER, driving renewed interest in the token. Despite the misinformation scare, Aster reaffirmed its commitment to open communication and maintaining trust with its growing user base.

Uniswap Fair Launch Revival [Source][Source]

Uniswap launched Continuous Clearing Auctions (CCA), a new onchain token-sale mechanism designed to eliminate private deals, insider advantages, and opaque pricing in early-stage token launches.

CCA allows bidders to set maximum prices and spend limits, with all successful participants paying the same clearing price per block. This approach brings transparency and fair access while encouraging early participation and reducing the instability common in initial trading.

The first project to use CCA is Aztec Network’s AZTEC token, beginning with a community phase and opening to the public on December 2. After each auction, the funds and remaining tokens automatically seed liquidity on Uniswap v4, stabilizing post-listing markets.

Designed to echo the spirit of 2017 ICOs—but fully onchain and permissionless—CCA could become a foundational tool for future token launches across DeFi and Web3.

💡 Feature of the Day: 

BitMine ETH Strategy Shift [Source][Source]

BitMine Immersion Technologies appointed Chi Tsang as its new CEO in a major leadership restructuring that also added three independent board members.

The company has pivoted from mining to becoming the largest corporate holder of Ether, with over 3.5 million ETH, valued above $11 billion, surpassing any institutional treasury in the Ethereum ecosystem. Backed by investors like ARK Invest, BitMine now positions itself as a bridge between Wall Street and Ethereum.

Tsang outlined ambitions for BitMine to evolve into a major financial institution powered by Ethereum’s long-term growth. The company aims to accumulate up to 5% of the total ETH supply despite recent market volatility that pushed its share price down 35% in 30 days.

As corporations explore digital-asset treasuries—including SOL and ZEC—BitMine’s aggressive ETH-first strategy signals a broader institutional shift toward crypto as a core balance-sheet asset.
