Aster (ASTER) Exchange

Aster is a multichain decentralized perpetual exchange formed from the merger of Astherus and APX Finance in December 2024. It combines perpetual futures, spot order book trading, stock perpetuals, and commodity markets on one non-custodial platform.

Aster operates across BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum, and users do not need to bridge between chains. The ASTER token itself is a BNB Chain (BEP-20) token.

On June 17, 2026 Aster launched an automated buyback and burn: 99% of daily protocol fees buy back ASTER, and an equal amount is burned from reserves.

The buyback is funded by protocol fees, and fees come from derivatives trading. Higher daily volume means a larger daily buyback and burn; lower volume slows it.

53.5% went to a community airdrop and 30% to ecosystem and community, with the remainder to treasury and team. Token generation happened on September 17, 2025.

They are crypto-settled perpetual contracts on US equities such as Apple and Tesla, offered with up to 50x leverage. They give on-chain traders equity exposure without a brokerage account.

Markets for gold, silver, and crude oil settle exclusively in USD1, World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. That creates token flow between the Aster and World Liberty ecosystems.

Simple Mode (1001x Mode) offers up to 1001x leverage with MEV protection, but reviews say it is limited to BTC and ETH; other assets have lower limits. Pro Mode is a centralized-exchange-style limit order book for experienced traders, with lower leverage limits that depend on the asset. At 1001x the liquidation price is about 0.1% from the entry price, so normal market noise can close a position within seconds. Reviews also report a fixed fee of 0.08% on opening and 0.08% on closing in this mode, which equals about 160% of the initial margin at 1001x leverage, and a cap on profit of roughly 300% to 500% depending on the asset.

YZi Labs, the rebranded venture arm of Binance Labs, invested in Aster's predecessor Astherus in November 2024. In November 2025 Changpeng Zhao (CZ) disclosed buying about 2 million ASTER, and the price jumped by more than 30% that day, according to Yahoo Finance. A one-off purchase like this is not a lasting demand source.

Traders can post asBNB (a liquid-staked BNB derivative) and USDF (a yield-focused stablecoin) as margin and earn passive income while holding perpetual positions. Collateral products add smart contract and peg risk.

Aster is a blockchain project with ASTER as its native token. As a newer and lower-market-cap asset, Aster has limited public documentation compared to established protocols. Check the official Aster project channels for the current description of the network's purpose and technical architecture. On Swapzone, ASTER appears as a tradeable asset through available exchange partners.

ASTER is available for swapping on Swapzone through instant exchange partners that support the pair. Whether ASTER is listed on Coinbase should be checked on Coinbase's own asset list, because listing status changes. Availability on other centralized exchanges varies and changes over time; check current exchange listings for ASTER directly on CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko for the most up-to-date listing status.

Aster is a newer project and its development history is limited. For current status, check the official Aster project's website and social media channels, as well as blockchain explorers for on-chain activity. Swapzone displays live exchange partner availability, so if offers appear on the page, the asset is currently supported by at least one partner.
