Aster: Rebranding to Lead Decentralized Perpetual Trading

Astherus, a multi-asset liquidity hub backed by YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), has rebranded to Aster, marking a strategic shift toward becoming the leading decentralized perpetuals exchange (perps DEX). The rebrand introduces the platform’s new token ticker, $AST, replacing the current $APX token. This follows the earlier merger between Astherus and decentralized perp protocol APX Finance.
