Aster fell about 23.1% in a day to $0.4959, the largest one-day drop among the top 100 coins, during a selloff that pushed 35 large coins down more than 10%.
A 23% drop in a day can look like an Aster-specific event, but dozens of top-100 coins fell more than 10% in the same window and no confirmed news is attached to ASTER, so the size of the drop is the only firm fact.

Aster (ASTER) is down about 23.1% in the last 24 hours, trading near $0.4959 as of 23:01 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) on November 14, 2026, according to CoinGecko. That is the largest one-day drop of any coin in the top 100 by market cap. ASTER is also down about 27.1% over seven days, so the latest session accounts for most of the week's loss. Aster was far from alone, since 35 top-100 coins fell more than 10% in the same 24 hours.
The Short Version
ASTER is down about 23.1% in 24 hours, to roughly $0.4959.
The 7-day change is about -27.1%, so the past day holds most of the week's drop.
35 top-100 coins fell more than 10% in the same window, which points to a broad market selloff.
No single confirmed catalyst is attached to the Aster move. 24-hour volume was about $176.7 million.
What's Behind the Move
Aster fell harder than any other top-100 coin in one session, and the data points to a wide market drop rather than a clear Aster-specific event. The detector pull behind this page checked the top 100 coins by market cap and found 35 that fell more than 10% in 24 hours. Uniswap (UNI) fell about 17.6% and Ethena (ENA) fell about 15.5%. Aster's 23.1% decline was the largest of the group.
The weekly numbers add detail. Working back from the 24-hour and 7-day figures, ASTER traded near $0.6450 a day ago and near $0.6803 a week ago. That means ASTER slipped only about 5.2% across the first six days of the week, then lost about 23.1% in the latest day.
No confirmed single catalyst for the drop can be traced to a named source. The price and volume data show a fast repricing on heavy trading of about $176.7 million, which is about 13.9% of ASTER's market cap of roughly $1.28 billion. A move of that size on that much volume means real selling met real buying.
Is a 23% Drop a Reason to Sell ASTER?
A single 23% down day says little by itself about where Aster trades next. ASTER is a volatile token with a market cap of roughly $1.28 billion, and daily swings of this size appear in both directions. The more useful context is how the drop compares with the market around it. When this many large coins fall together, the cause is usually something the whole group shares, and Aster's own fundamentals may not have changed at all. Two things are worth holding in view. Sharp one-day drops sometimes recover part of the loss within days. They also sometimes extend, because forced selling can feed on itself. Neither outcome shows up in today's numbers. If a red candle is pushing you toward a decision, set a rule before checking the price again. A review date or a dollar amount works, so the next move does not decide for you.
What a Falling ASTER Price Means for Your Wallet
The number of ASTER tokens in a wallet did not change today. Their dollar value did. A balance that was worth $100 a day ago is worth about $77 now at the pulled price. Like most coins, ASTER moves on a network that charges its fees in a network token, so the dollar cost of a send follows that token's price, while the dollar value of what you send follows ASTER's price. These are two separate numbers that can move in opposite directions on a day like this. PipeFlare's crypto converters pull live rates so you can check an ASTER amount against the current rate before you move it. The crypto wallet guide explains how balances and transfers work if you are newer to holding tokens.
Is Aster Down Today Part of a Wider Selloff?
Yes, the same-day data shows a broad drop across large coins, and Aster is the sharpest decline among 35 coins past the 10% line. Those 35 ranged from about 10.1% to 23.1% lower over 24 hours. Uniswap fell about 17.6%, Ethena about 15.5%, and several more landed between 11% and 16%. Even Ethereum fell about 9.5% in the same pull. A cluster like that suggests selling pressure across the market rather than an Aster announcement. The data does not say what started the selloff, and this page does not guess. What it does show is that holders of ASTER and of dozens of other coins faced a similar drop on the same day.
Is This a Reversal or a Continuation for ASTER?
Today's data fits a continuation of a weak week better than a reversal. ASTER is down about 27.1% over seven days, and the 24-hour drop of about 23.1% accounts for most of it. A reversal would show a recovery that starts to close the weekly gap. Instead, the gap widened sharply in one session. The first six days of the week were mild by comparison, with ASTER down about 5.2% in total. That shape reads as a quiet stretch broken by a hard drop. Watch the next few sessions for a stabilizing price. If ASTER trades in a narrow band near $0.50, the drop is digesting. If it keeps losing 5% or more a day, the selloff is still running.
What the $176.7 Million in Volume Shows
Volume of about $176.7 million tells you the drop was widely traded by many buyers and sellers. That equals roughly 13.9% of ASTER's $1.28 billion market cap changing hands in 24 hours. A price fall on light volume is easy to dismiss because few participants transacted at the lower level. A fall on heavy volume means many holders sold and many buyers agreed to the lower price. Heavy volume does not predict direction by itself. It does mean that the lower price is a real, traded level that buyers have already tested. If volume fades while the price holds near $0.50, that pattern is usually read as selling pressure running out.
How Big Is a 23% Daily Drop for a Top-100 Coin?
A 23% daily drop is rare even for a top-100 coin, and it sits well above the 10% bar this page's detector uses. The detector flagged 39 coins in total today, and Aster's drop was nearly a third larger than the next one, Uniswap at about 17.6%. Size alone does not explain the cause. Mid-sized tokens with a market cap near $1.28 billion usually move more than the largest coins in a selloff, because fewer buyers sit at each price level. That is a general pattern in how thinner markets behave, not a claim about the reason for this particular drop. It does help explain why ASTER landed at the top of the list while larger coins fell by smaller amounts.
What Would Change This Read
The wider-selloff read on Aster would change if a specific, sourced event for ASTER turns up that lines up with the timing of the drop. Examples include a token unlock, an exchange delisting, a security incident, or a change to how the project shares revenue. None of those appears in the price and volume data, so none is named here as a cause. The read would also change if the other coins recover while ASTER does not. That would point to something specific to Aster. For the live number, check Aster on CoinGecko or the project's own Aster site. The figures on this page are dated November 14, 2026 at 23:01 UTC.

Bottom Line
Aster fell about 23.1% in 24 hours to roughly $0.4959, took most of a 27.1% weekly loss in one session, and moved with a broad selloff that hit 35 top-100 coins. No single confirmed catalyst is attached to the ASTER drop. If you hold or plan to send ASTER, check the live rate on the crypto converters before any transfer, because an Aster balance that is down today can move again within hours.
