RWA perpetual exclusive settlement is live, with USD1 officially transforming from a stablecoin into an on-chain commodity currency, with low fees + ecosystem integration bringing double benefits!

Gold (XAUUSD1), Silver (XAGUSD1), Crude Oil (CLUSD1 / BZUSD1) are the first four major markets to go live, with more commodities to follow. The fees are set at taker 1bps and maker -0.5bps, far below the industry average. This means:

Starting today, you can use USD1 to easily access perpetual contracts for gold, silver, and crude oil on Aster DEX, truly achieving zero-friction access to on-chain TradFi. This is not just a simple collaboration, but a qualitative leap in the RWA narrative:

• USD1 is no longer just a stablecoin; it has become the underlying settlement layer for real-world assets on-chain.

• Aster DEX (the next generation perpetual DEX, backed by yzilabs) has directly opened a dedicated channel for USD1, officially forming an ecological closed loop.

• The WLFI official also hinted: both parties are exploring deep integration at the token level, and in the future, WLFI token may gain special rights within the Aster ecosystem.

Why is this explosively powerful?

1. RWA is the most certain trillion-dollar track in 2026, while commodities (gold, oil) are the categories in RWA that are easiest for retail investors to understand and trade. USD1 directly enters this track, equivalent to obtaining a ticket to the on-chain gold exchange.

2. Exclusive settlement = monopoly on traffic. In the future, if you want to trade gold and oil on Aster, you must first exchange for USD1. The on-chain usage rights of the USD stablecoin are firmly held by WLFI.

3. Low fees + participant programs. The official clearly stated that 'additional participant programs may be introduced,' and there is a high probability of airdrops, rewards, and liquidity incentives coming up. This is a clear benefit for early users.

4. The Trump family DeFi endorsement; WLFI has carried the halo of top global traffic since its inception. This collaboration once again proves: they are not 'telling a story,' but are gradually turning the story into a product.

What does this mean for ordinary users?

• Friends holding USD1: directly beneficial, with liquidity and demand both surging.

• Traders who want to trade on-chain gold and oil: no longer have to endure high slippage and high transaction fees, Aster + USD1 = a new generation of efficient tools.

In summary, USD1 is no longer an ordinary stablecoin; it is becoming the new oil for on-chain RWA.
