PANews reported on September 29th that Aster CEO Leonard, in an interview with Mable, founder of the social protocol Trends, addressed the issue of on-chain data suggesting that a small number of addresses hold 96% of ASTER tokens. Leonard stated that his team does not control all tokens in these wallets. Based on token economics, approximately 80% of tokens are locked on-chain and can be monitored. Addresses holding airdropped tokens account for approximately 40% of the total. Other top addresses also include Aster's spot deposit addresses. Holders may be storing tokens in platform addresses with the intention of selling them at any time, given the significant price increase. Currently, only approximately 10% of the tokens are in circulation, including the 1:1 redemption share for existing users (approximately 10%) and the initial airdrop (approximately 8%). Information on subsequent linear releases has been published and can be verified on-chain. While the contract address appears to control all tokens due to the concentration of transactions, many of them actually belong to users. In addition, Leonard revealed that YZi Labs is the only private equity investor in Aster. Although their shareholding ratio is not high, their support for the company is huge and they have no intention of cashing out. From TGE to restrictions, Aster's performance in the BNB ecosystem has proven its value. Even without forced lock-up, YZi Labs has no motivation to dump the market. Moreover, the tokens they can get only come from a small part of the 5% team allocation, because they invested in equity, not the tokens themselves.PANews reported on September 29th that Aster CEO Leonard, in an interview with Mable, founder of the social protocol Trends, addressed the issue of on-chain data suggesting that a small number of addresses hold 96% of ASTER tokens.

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
