PANews reported on October 5th that DeFiLlama founder 0xngmi posted on the X platform that the perpetual contract trading volume on the Perp DEX Aster, particularly the XRP/USDT pair, is almost identical to that of Binance's perpetual contract trading volume, with a near 1:1 ratio. Because Aster does not provide underlying data on order creation and execution, it is impossible to verify whether there is wash trading. Therefore, until the platform can provide data to rule out wash trading suspicions, the relevant Aster perpetual contract trading volume will be removed from DeFiLlama.
