MrBeast Denies Involvement in Aster Token

Just days ago, a new perps platform called Aster made its debut and was publicly backed by CZ, the co-founder of Binance. This Hyperliquid competitor has taken over CT, with users flexing their gains from getting in the token early. The token, ASTER, launched on September 17 with a price of $0.08 and is currently trading at $1.40 with a market capitalization of $2.30 billion.

MrBeast was caught in this wave, with Jeremy, a crypto influencer on X, hinting at a possible link between MrBeast’s wallet and early purchases of ASTER. According to Jeremy, MrBeast had purchased a large amount of the token ASTER. The post included screenshots of blockchain transactions and a November 2024 Binance article about MrBeast’s “main wallet address.”

Crypto influencer “Jeremy” posted a screenshot from BscScan showing a wallet address sending 114,482.96 BUSD tokens to the Aster Treasury Contract. The tweet implied that this wallet belonged to MrBeast, citing a past Binance onchain investigation that associated the same address with him.

The timing and the size of the transaction, which was over $114,000 worth of tokens, added to the hype around Aster.

MrBeast’s Response to the Allegations

MrBeast directly responded to the rumors on X, writing:

“Never heard of that coin and that’s not my wallet. Also since we’re on the topic I’m never doing a meme coin so don’t get scammed by one pretending to be me.”

This statement both denied any connection to ASTER and served as a warning about potential scams. The funny thing about this whole situation is that MrBeast didn’t even know what Aster is, referring to it as a memecoin. MrBeast emphasized he has no plans to launch or endorse a memecoin.

Never heard of that coin and that’s not my wallet. Also since we’re on the topic I’m never doing a meme coin so don’t get scammed by one pretending to be me.

Skip the wait. Buy a licensed company.

The crypto space has seen multiple cases of scammers falsely attributing token launches or wallet addresses to celebrities in order to boost prices and lure investors. However, Aster is already backed by major players in the industry. Not only that, but the platform has an amazing product behind it, so hype and speculation are not needed when their product is fully functional.

Nevertheless, influencers are trying to spread rumors and speculations about ASTER to keep it trending as their own bags are at stake.

This incident shows the importance of verifying onchain data and celebrity endorsements before making investment decisions. While Binance’s 2024 article did mention the wallet as linked to MrBeast, it doesn’t confirm anything and cannot be used as proof.
