Trading platform Aster initiates continuous stock contracts for perpetual trades, focusing on exposure to American equities around the clock.
Aster, a next-generation decentralized perpetual exchange (perp DEX), has made a significant leap forward in the world of trading by introducing 24/7 stock perpetual contracts. This innovative platform allows traders to gain leveraged exposure to major U.S. equities such as Amazon, Apple, Google (Alphabet), Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Tesla, without the constraints of traditional market hours or intermediaries.
The launch of Aster's stock perpetual contracts represents a significant step in bridging Traditional Finance (TradFi) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) without compromise. These derivative contracts enable traders to speculate on the price of the underlying asset, all while eliminating the need for real-world custody.
Key features of Aster’s stock perpetual contracts include 24/7 access, up to 50x leverage, and the use of crypto as collateral. Traders can enter or exit positions anytime, amplifying gains or hedging portfolios more effectively. The platform's high-speed matching engine and integrated liquidity pools ensure efficient trade execution comparable to centralized order books for crypto trading, even during Wall Street's active hours.
While liquidity outside traditional U.S. stock market hours is lower with limited price swings, traders still retain access, representing a new flexibility in stock derivatives trading. Aster's MEV-free and dual trading modes offer one-click trading in Simple Mode and advanced tools including hidden orders and grid trading in Pro Mode on multiple chains such as BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum.
By merging the advantages of DeFi with traditional markets, Aster delivers decentralized access to global equity markets 24/7 without requiring intermediaries. The platform is backed by YZi Labs and is building the future of DeFi.
