Access Multi-Chain Perpetuals and Tokenized Markets with ASTER — Now Live on Ndax!

Aster (ASTER) is the native token of the Aster Protocol, a decentralized exchange (DEX) and perpetuals trading platform designed to connect cryptocurrency markets with tokenized versions of traditional assets. The platform enables trading across multiple asset types — including digital assets, tokenized equities, and index-based products — through a non-custodial, multi-chain infrastructure.

Launched in September 2025, Aster combines elements of liquidity aggregation, yield-generating collateral, and privacy-focused order execution. The protocol is recognized in the DeFi space for its efforts to bring capital efficiency and interoperability to on-chain derivatives markets.

By listing ASTER, Ndax provides Canadian users with the opportunity to buy, sell, and hold the token that powers the Aster ecosystem. Cryptocurrencies like ASTER are highly volatile and may lose significant value. DeFi assets also carry smart contract, operational, and regulatory risks. Only invest what you can afford to lose. 

ASTER is the native token powering the Aster ecosystem — a perpetual + spot DEX that bridges DeFi and tokenization of traditional markets. Here are some of the features of Aster:

• Perpetuals + Spot in One Interface: Aster supports trading for both perpetual futures and spot pairs across chains such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, and Arbitrum.
• Privacy Tools and Hidden Orders: Aster allows traders to use private or hidden orders to limit market exposure and slippage.
• Yield-Enabled Collateral (“Trade & Earn”): Certain assets used as collateral — such as liquid staking tokens or stablecoins — may generate yield through external protocols. Returns are not guaranteed and are subject to market and platform conditions.
• High Leverage Options: Depending on the asset, leverage may be available at multiple scales. High leverage magnifies both potential gains and losses and should be used with caution by experienced traders only.
• Multi-Chain Liquidity: Aster aggregates liquidity from multiple networks, which can improve market depth and capital utilization across supported assets. 

• Blockchain: Multi-chain (BNB Chain plus Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum)
• Max Supply: 8B ASTER
• Circulating Supply: ~1.69B ASTER
• Market Cap: ~3.14B
• All-Time High: $2.419 USD on Sept 24th 2025 

• Trusted Canadian Platform: ASTER may be volatile, but Ndax gives Canadians peace of mind—with a regulated, user-friendly environment to securely buy, sell, and hold ASTER.  
• Top-Tier Security: Your ASTER is protected with a robust security framework, including cold storage, hot wallets, and Multi-Party Computation (MPC). A portion of client assets are also held with trusted third-party custodians, who adhere to stringent security standards.
• Recurring Buy Options: Set up automatic daily, weekly, or monthly ASTER  purchases starting at just $1 CAD to build your position over time using dollar-cost averaging.  
• Advanced Trading Tools: Take advantage of Ndax’s full suite of trading options, including Limit Orders, Stop Orders, Trailing Stops, Fill or Kill, and Iceberg Orders—designed for both casual investors and professional traders.  
• Trade Anywhere, Anytime: Use the Ndax mobile app for iOS and Android to manage your ASTER portfolio on the go. 

Aster (ASTER) represents an emerging effort to merge decentralized perpetual trading with tokenized markets through multi-chain liquidity and privacy-enhancing features. While the project introduces innovative concepts in decentralized finance, its token remains subject to high volatility, smart contract risk, and evolving regulation.

By listing ASTER, Ndax enables Canadians to access and hold the token safely within a regulated platform, without direct exposure to the Aster protocol or its on-chain derivatives platform. Holding ASTER allows participation in the ecosystem but does not constitute ownership, yield entitlement, or guaranteed returns.
