Aster

Aster promoted bStocks as collateral for perp trading on its DEX, following bStocks' announcement that it reached $1.5B AUM as the #1 Tokenized Equities Offering. In a reply to @bstocksfinance, Aster noted that bStocks can back perpetual positions "without selling the underlying holdings."

• The post echoes Aster's earlier congratulations when bStocks crossed its first $1B, framing the new milestone as rapid growth for the Binance-issued tokenized stock offering.
• bStocks have been usable as perp collateral on Aster since earlier this year, letting tokenized equity positions support other trades on the exchange.

The message is promotional rather than a product change — no new mechanics or collateral terms were announced.

Aster Grid now lets users open an initial position right away when starting a grid, or let the grid build one as orders fill. The new flexibility option is live on both Web and the App, per Aster's announcement on X.

The update gives grid traders more control over how a grid enters the market from the start, alongside the platform's recent Grid 2.0 and Grid Marketplace work. No further technical details or mechanics were included in the announcement.

Aster is touting WLFI/USD1 spot trading on its platform, announcing via its X account that the pair can be traded "anytime" on Aster. The post is a short promotional announcement with no new mechanics or listing details.

The pair adds another USD1-denominated market alongside Aster's existing spot and perp offerings tied to USD1, the stablecoin behind the WLFI ecosystem.

Aster shared SafePal's announcement that the SafePal wallet app has upgraded its Aster trading experience. Users can now set take-profit / stop-loss on trades and adjust margin on open positions directly from the wallet.

Aster posted the update with the note "more control over your Aster trades, right from your SafePal wallet." The new features require updating the SafePal App; no further details on mechanics were included in the announcement.

Aster has completed the $ASTER token transfer for Stage 6 airdrop claims. The 100% vested claim window is open from November 4, 12:00 UTC to December 4, 12:00 UTC, 2026, per the announcement on Aster's X account.

• The post recaps the Stage 6 timeline: the eligibility checker opened April 20, vesting option selection ran April 20 – May 2, and the claim window was originally slated to open May 4.
• The current message states claims are now live from Nov 4 to Dec 4, 2026, with the full allocation terms referenced in earlier posts.

Eligible users should claim within the window; no further technical details were included in the announcement.

Aster will begin winding down the legacy ApolloX APX contract on Nov 3 at 10:00 UTC, part of the previously announced sunset of the ApolloX web and API platform. The process is expected to be completed within 48 hours.

• Protocol-owned funds will be migrated to Aster via the bridge.
• Users with remaining balances or open positions are urged to close positions and withdraw before the sunset is completed.

ApolloX was the predecessor DEX of Aster, whose APX token rebranded to $ASTER. Support is available via the Aster Discord.

Aster has added a pre-launch perpetual market for $XTEN with up to 5x leverage, announced on the DEX's X account. The listing lets traders take positions on the token ahead of its token generation event, continuing Aster's stream of pre-launch perp listings.

As with other listings, the market carries no affiliation, endorsement, or investment recommendation from Aster. Ticker symbols are not unique and may be shared by unrelated tokens or projects.

Aster is adjusting the reward calculation weights for its Grid Liquidity Mining program, effective October 27, 2026 at 08:00 UTC. Eligible open Grid orders will now carry 90% of the reward weight (up from 70%), while eligible Maker trading volume drops to 10% (down from 30%).

The exchange says the change is designed to better reward genuine liquidity provision. The update takes effect ahead of the next campaign cycle and affects how $ASTER and partner-token rewards are allocated to running grids.

Aster is temporarily suspending order placement on Aster Prediction, including API trading, starting October 27 at 09:00 UTC while it upgrades the prediction system. The exchange said it is "working on a better Prediction experience" and teased more details to come.

The suspension affects the platform's prediction markets only; no end time for the upgrade window was announced.

Aster is adding a new $WLFI reward pool to its Grid Liquidity Mining program starting October 26 and extending the campaign for four more weeks. Each week, eligible grids will share 10,000 $ASTER on USDT pairs and 130,000 $WLFI on USD1.

• The extension follows Aster's rollout of grid rewards across newly eligible tokens and the recent launch of Grid 2.0 and the Grid Marketplace.
