Aster, a decentralized trading platform, announced the launch of Aster Vault Beta, allowing users to participate in trading strategies driven by active management without needing to execute every single trade themselves.According to the introduction, users can deposit funds into the Vault, where strategy managers handle the trading operations. Users then share in the profits generated by the strategy or bear the corresponding losses in proportion to their fund contribution. Currently, only a limited number of Vaults are available for users during the Beta phase.Aster stated that this feature aims to lower the barrier for users to participate in active trading strategies, enabling them to access professional trading strategies through fund custody. The platform plans to further expand the Vault ecosystem based on feedback received during the Beta phase.

Starting today at 12:00 UTC, 99% of the platform’s daily transaction fees will be used to buy back ASTER tokens, and an equivalent amount of ASTER tokens will be burned 1:1 from the reserve, enhancing staking incentives and driving the token toward a deflationary trajectory.
Aster has announced support for bStocks on BNB Chain, allowing users to hold tokenized stock assets while using them as margin for trading. This enables a "one position, two uses" mechanism. The system allows users to continue holding bStocks while deploying them for perpetual contract trading, thereby enhancing capital efficiency and enabling parallel "holding + trading."Aster noted that it has become one of the first DeFi protocols to support bStocks within the BNB Chain ecosystem, introducing this asset class to the perpetual contract market and further expanding the application scenarios for tokenized stocks in on-chain finance.Analysts believe this design strengthens the convergence trend between real-world asset tokenization (RWA) and the derivatives market, making it possible for on-chain assets to participate in leveraged trading without relinquishing their long exposure.
on-chain analyst Ai Yi posted on platform X, stating that SPCX is about to launch, and the total share capital of SpaceX has been adjusted to 13.08 billion shares, an increase of 10%. Under the same total valuation, the pre-market contract prices will shrink by 10%, affecting platforms that have previously listed this asset and their users. Exchanges such as Binance have followed up with a rebase, and the perpetual DEX Aster has also chosen to proactively adjust to prevent user losses. TradeXYZ has announced that it will not make any adjustments, adhering to its stance as a "price-based perpetual contract," leading to long positions suffering losses. It stated that stock splits are not uncommon in US stocks, where large-cap tech stocks undergo forward stock splits due to excessively high single-share values to facilitate trading. The TradeXYZ team indicated that a solution will be provided.
Aster has announced on the X platform the launch of a new Listing Vote mechanism, enabling a permissionless token listing process. According to the rules, any validator staking at least 20 million ASTER tokens on the Aster Chain can submit a proposal to list a new asset. The proposal then enters an on-chain vote, with the outcome determined by the staked ASTER weight.The first round of proposals was submitted by UTechStables, involving BTC/U and ETH/U perpetual contract trading pairs. This round of voting will continue until 06:00 UTC on May 22.
