Aster, a decentralized perpetual exchange, has launched 24/7 stock perpetual contracts trading with exposure to U.S. equities. Traders can now gain leveraged, permissionless exposure to leading U.S. stocks with up to 50x leverage.

Pricing data is derived from Pyth Network, ensuring reliable and tamper-resistant feeds.

Aster, a decentralized perpetual exchange (DEX) backed by YZi Labs, has expanded its offerings with the launch of 24/7 stock perpetual contracts trading exposure to U.S. equities. Traders can now gain leveraged, permissionless access to leading U.S. stocks including Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOG), Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), NVIDIA (NVDA), and Tesla (TSLA), with more blue-chip names to follow [1].

This development allows traders to diversify into equities without compromising on custody, privacy, or speed. Aster’s platform offers 24/7 trading with up to 50x leverage, eliminating the need for intermediaries and traditional trading hours. While liquidity may be lower outside of traditional U.S. stock market hours, the platform provides access to deep liquidity pools during active trading hours, ensuring smoother fills and efficient execution [1].

The pricing data for these contracts is derived from the Pyth Network, which aggregates price feeds from multiple independent publishers. This ensures reliable and tamper-resistant pricing data for stock contracts and all other perpetual contracts on Aster. Traders can use these contracts for hedging or speculating on short-term price movements, all without centralized intermediaries [1].

This launch marks a significant milestone in Aster’s mission to bridge traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi) without compromise. Aster has been delivering record-breaking trading volumes and innovative features such as the Aster Mobile app and Hidden Orders, further elevating what DeFi can offer [1].

The convergence of TradFi and DeFi continues to gain traction worldwide, and Aster is at the forefront, combining the privacy and composability of DeFi with new asset opportunities. Users can now start trading U.S. equities with crypto and leverage, with the freedom and flexibility that only Aster offers [1].
