Aster

Aster is a decentralized perpetual exchange token operating primarily on BNB Chain, with presence on Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum. The platform it represents aims to let traders keep direct custody of their assets while accessing trading tools — including perpetual contracts on cryptocurrencies and U.S. stocks with leverage up to 100x — that have traditionally required a centralized exchange. It targets both newcomers who want simple one-click trading and experienced traders who want a full order book with features such as hidden orders and automated grid strategies.

Aster emerged from the merger of Astherus and APX Finance in late 2024, and holders of the predecessor APX token were able to migrate their holdings to ASTER. The platform settles trades on-chain in crypto across multiple networks without requiring users to bridge funds between chains, with liquidity pooled across those markets to support large positions. The ASTER token functions as the native exchange-based token of this ecosystem; the data stored here does not detail the precise fee-sharing or governance mechanics tied to the token.

The data provided does not include a recorded fee stream or revenue figures for Aster, so this site cannot report on fee sources, payers, or recipients. What the data does show is that roughly 33.75% of the maximum supply of 8,000,000,000 ASTER is currently circulating, and the fully diluted valuation sits at approximately 2.89 times the current market capitalization of roughly 1.93 billion U.S. dollars, reflecting the share of supply not yet in circulation. The dilution overhang stands at 189.03%, meaning the tokens still to enter circulation represent nearly twice the current circulating supply.
