WLFI and Aster DEX's Major Collaborative Update

🔸USD1 officially becomes the exclusive settlement currency for TradFi perpetual contracts on Aster DEX
From now on, all traditional financial perpetual contracts on the platform (gold, silver, crude oil, and other commodity futures) will only support USD1 for settlement, no longer coexisting with USDT.

🔸The first batch of RWA markets priced in USD1 is about to go live
Including $CLUSD1, $XAUUSD1, $XAGUSD1, $BZUSD1, etc. More commodities, stocks, bonds, and other real assets will gradually be brought on-chain for direct trading in USD1.

🔸Ultra-low fee policy
USD1 trading pair fee rates:
- Taker (market order) only 1 bps
- Maker (limit order) -0.5 bps (negative fee, platform directly rebates)
Trading costs are significantly reduced, making it highly competitive.

🔸Both parties are in discussions for deep integration at the token level
In the future, the WLFI token and the Aster ecosystem are expected to achieve closer binding.

The core significance of this collaboration:
✅ Major positive news for USD1: USD1 directly "locks in" Aster DEX, a professional platform focused on TradFi perpetual contracts, binding trillion-dollar traditional commodity futures trading to its own settlement system. Users must hold or exchange USD1 when trading these assets, which will significantly boost demand and rapidly enhance liquidity.

✅ Truly bridging TradFi and DeFi: No need to open accounts with traditional exchanges or deal with cumbersome processes; just a crypto wallet to trade futures like gold, silver, and crude oil with one click, greatly lowering the participation threshold for ordinary users.

✅ Milestone for the WLFI ecosystem: USD1 upgrades from "ordinary stablecoin" to the official settlement currency for TradFi perpetual contracts. If more platforms and RWA projects follow suit, USD1 is expected to pose a strong challenge to USDT and USDC in the stablecoin space.

✅ Low rates + exclusive settlement = powerful traffic engine: The extreme cost-performance ratio will attract a large number of traders, creating a positive cycle of "more people using USD1 → liquidity enhancement → better experience → more people coming in."

⭐️ In summary, this is not an ordinary cooperation announcement, but a crucial step for WLFI to push USD1 into the RWA and traditional financial futures battlefield. It accelerates the process of bringing RWA on-chain and positions USD1 in a significant high ground in the competition for DeFi settlement currencies. In the short term, it boosts market confidence, and in the long term, it will bring more real usage scenarios to the entire WLFI ecosystem.
