Aster deepened its collaboration with World Liberty Financial (WLFI) through the launch of perpetual contract markets denominated in USD1, the stablecoin backed by the Trump family-linked project. The initiative includes reduced fees, WLFI token rewards for active traders, and additional incentives for users who hold USD1 on the platform.

The USD1 perpetual markets launch with BTC, ETH, and SOL pairs; more than ten additional pairs will be added in the coming weeks. The fee structure features zero basis points for makers and 0.5 bps for takers across all USD1 pairs, compared to the standard 4 bps applied to USDT pairs. The incentives program will distribute up to 2.5 million WLFI tokens monthly among the most active traders in these markets.

Leonard, CEO of Aster, noted that integrating USD1 into the core trading engine during this phase lays the liquidity foundation needed for the launch of Aster Chain, the project’s layer-1 blockchain. Zak Folkman, co-founder and COO of WLFI, highlighted that functional parity with USDT as collateral is the standard both teams set out to achieve. The platform will also launch integrated tracking tools on web and mobile so users can monitor their participation in Aster Chain’s early activity.
