YouTuber James Stephen “Jimmy” Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast, has reportedly lost $20K while trading the ASTER Token. Trending since the past few days, ASTER price has surged by over 1,400%, as per CoinMarketCap data.
According to on-chain data provided by Arkham Intelligence, MrBeast transferred $114,000 to Aster, the decentralized perpetual exchange.
A user on X, Bastille, noted that Mr Beast closed his long position in ASTER token on September 21, 2025. The trade did not favor him, as the token crashed by almost 30% from its high, leading MrBeast to a loss of $20,000. Many crypto analysts called it a financial misstep, underscoring the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies.
This is not the first time Mr Beast has dabbled in crypto as his wallet shows a lot of buying and selling activity. Additionally, earlier this year, he was also involved in a rumor around launching his own memecoin, which was later clarified by him to be false.
Meanwhile, newly launched tokens are more likely to undergo big price changes, since factors like low liquidity and speculative hype can quickly raise or drop prices, as seen in Mr Beast’s Aster Token trade. At the time of writing, the Aster token was trading at $1.47 according to data by CoinMarketCap.
