Aster Deepens Strategic Partnership with WLFI, Launches Perpetual Contract Market Priced in USD1

This collaboration introduces USD1-denominated perpetual contracts and new trading incentives, including WLFI token rewards and fee reductions for USD1 trading pairs, while also allowing users to earn additional yields by holding USD1.

This integration aims to enhance USD1 liquidity on the platform, laying the groundwork for the project’s newly launched Layer 1 blockchain, Aster Chain.

Building a Diversified Foundation for Aster Chain

The introduction of USD1 as collateral and the launch of a USD1-denominated perpetual contract market reduce Aster’s reliance on a single stablecoin, providing users with greater flexibility ahead of the Aster Chain launch.

Supported by WLFI’s global community, Aster is accelerating the expansion of the USD1 market within the DeFi space.

Leonard, CEO of Aster, stated: “The success of Aster Chain depends on the depth of its underlying liquidity. By integrating USD1 into our core trading engine, we are building the trading foundation for the launch of Aster Chain. Our 0 bps maker fee is designed to encourage users to participate in the USD1 market on Aster concurrently with the mainnet launch.”

Zak Folkman, Co-founder and COO of World Liberty Financial, said: “Perpetual contract markets account for the vast majority of trading volume. Aster listing USD1 perpetual trading pairs and matching USDT’s collateral ratio means traders can use USD1 just like any major stablecoin. This is the standard we set: functional parity, not treating USD1 as a secondary option.”

Creating a USD1 Trading Hub

Aster now supports USD1-denominated perpetual contracts, with the first batch including BTC, ETH, and SOL trading pairs, and plans to add 10+ more pairs in the coming weeks.

To encourage market participation, Aster offers a 0 bps maker fee and a highly competitive 0.5 bps taker fee. USD1 is also supported as a margin asset and collateral, with a collateral ratio identical to USDT, enabling traders to maximize capital efficiency.

Early Adopter Rewards

As part of the Aster Chain launch campaign, this partnership introduces several incentives:

● USD1 Trading Incentives: Up to 2.5 million WLFI tokens will be allocated monthly based on USD1 perpetual contract trading activity, with rewards distributed weekly. WLFI reserves the final right of interpretation regarding this program and token distribution.

● USD1 Holding Rewards: Users holding USD1 on Aster are eligible to participate in the platform’s incentive programs.

● Trading Fee Reductions: All USD1 trading pairs feature zero maker fees and a 0.5 bps taker fee, significantly lower compared to USDT pairs.*

Aster will also launch tracking tools, including an integrated points program portal on both web and mobile, allowing users to easily monitor their progress and participation in early Aster Chain market activities.

*Aster’s standard taker fee for USDT pairs is 4 bps. The USD1 taker fee is 0.5 bps, representing a reduction of approximately 87.5%. The maker fee for USD1 pairs is 0 bps. All fees are set by Aster and are subject to change. Please refer to Aster’s fee page for the latest rates.

Original Source: Wall Street News Recently, Trump’s close associate recommended Warsh for Fed Chair. If Kevin Warsh takes over the Fed next year, the market might witness one of the most significant policy shifts at the Federal Reserve in decades. Earlier this year, in a conversation with Hoover Institution host Peter Robinson, Warsh bluntly pointed out the deep-seated problems within the current Federal Reserve system and put forward an assertion: “Inflation is a choice.” He dismissed excuses blaming supply chains or geopolitics for inflation, insisting that central banks are fully capable of determining price levels, and the current situation is the result of the Fed’s wrong choices. Warsh’s core argument is built on a critique of “complacency.” He pointed out that after the “Great Moderation” period, the Fed mistakenly believed…
